For airlines & fleet operators

Run fuel tenders your procurement team can defend.

Replace spreadsheet-and-inbox tenders with a structured, auditable workspace. Every bid is normalized, benchmarked against live market data, and tracked end-to-end-so procurement, finance, and legal all work from the same source of truth.

The current state

Fuel tendering wasn't built for modern procurement.

Most airlines still run fuel tenders across fragmented emails, inconsistent spreadsheets, and a handful of overextended analysts. It works - until you need to explain how a winning bid was benchmarked, or reconcile suppliers quoting in different units, currencies, and structures.

There's a better way to run a tender - one where every bid is structured, comparable, and defensible from the moment it arrives.

Before

Bids arrive in every format imaginable

Excel, PDFs, email bodies - each with different currencies, units, and fee structures. Normalizing them takes days, not minutes, and introduces risk at every step.

Before

Benchmarking is manual and already outdated

Platts in one tab, supplier quotes in another. By the time you've validated one location, the market has already moved.

Before

The audit trail lives in your inbox

When finance or internal audit asks why Supplier A beat Supplier B, the answer is buried across email threads, attachments, and shared folders.

Tender lifecycle

From tender launch to award, in one workspace.

Structured tender setup

Guided, staged creation - details, contracts, suppliers, and review - with per-location volumes, fuel types, and contract periods. Clone prior tenders to launch in minutes, not days.

Airlines

Sealed or real-time bidding

Define the bidding dynamic per tender. Run sealed rounds with blinded supplier identities for confidentiality, or open real-time rounds to see the market move as bids come in.

Airlines

In-tender Q&A and clarifications

Threaded discussions at tender, contract, or location level. Clarifications are shared across all bidders, ensuring a level playing field and eliminating information asymmetry.

Airlines

Subsidiary Airlines & business units

Run centralized tenders across subsidiaries while preserving local control. Consolidated visibility with per-entity participation and award confirmation.

Airlines

Tentative & final awards

Structured two-stage award workflow with branded notifications, bid-level e-signatures, and a complete, audit-ready decision trail.

Airlines

IATA FTS XML exports

Standards-based XML for invitations, awards, and cancellations - integrate directly with ERP or fuel management systems without manual rework.

Airlines
Index-based benchmarking

Every bid, anchored to the real market.

Platts, Argus, and OPIS prices sync directly into the platform. When a supplier quotes "Platts Singapore + $0.12," it's instantly converted into a fully comparable landed value - aligned to your currency, unit, delivery, and payment terms - so every bid can be evaluated on a true like-for-like basis.

No offline models. No manual recalculation. Every number is traceable back to the source index.

  • Historical spread analysis with year-over-year comparison
  • Configurable averaging windows and timing offsets

Beyond price

Model the true landed cost, not just the quoted number.

A lower quoted price on 60-day terms can be more expensive than a higher price on net-10. JetFuelTenders models cost-of-capital, payment terms, conversion factors, and fee structures, so the "best bid" reflects your actual economics, not how a supplier formats their quote.

No offline spreadsheets. No post-award surprises.

Cost-of-capital & payment-term modeling

Quantify the impact of payment terms directly in your comparisons. A 30-day difference is translated into a real dollar adjustment - built into every bid evaluation.

Airlines

Complex fee structures, fully modeled

Handle per-unit surcharges, tiered volume pricing, bonded vs. duty-paid scenarios, and tax-on-tax rules - without simplifying assumptions or offline calculations.

Airlines

Scenario comparison & tender revisions

Test award strategies before committing. Compare single-source vs. multi-supplier outcomes, alternate contract structures, and revised bids side by side.

Airlines
Enterprise-ready

Built for airline groups, not just a single carrier.

Whether you operate across multiple legal entities, decentralized procurement teams, or integrated finance and data systems, JetFuelTenders is designed to fit into complex airline environments without workarounds.

No parallel systems. No rekeying between platforms.

Subsidiaries & holding structures

Run a single master tender across parent companies and subsidiaries. Consolidated reporting with per-entity participation and award confirmation.

Airlines

SSO & role-based access control

Granular permissions by role (Admin, Manager, User, Viewer) with tender-level and contract-level access controls aligned to your internal governance model.

Airlines

REST API & webhook notifications

Token-authenticated REST API for tender creation, bid retrieval, and award events. Real-time webhooks push updates directly into downstream ERP, BI, or fuel management systems.

Airlines
Pricing that aligns with savings
