Discover the FleetPanda advantage - A modern, flexible, affordable solution with unparalleled customer support that tackles the limitations of PDI head-on.
PDI
In contrast, while PDI is a legacy name, the product evolution has been almost non-existent. We respect what PDI brought to the industry, however it’s time to move on to a modern alternative.
The fuel industry has a high demand for dispatch solutions, and we’ve worked with all of the big names, but none of them worked. But FleetPanda had everything we were looking for.

The best solutions in our industry are outdated and not really built for an individual business. Most of them have a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t work in a dynamic industry like ours. I don't think PDI is built for this industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can FleetPanda integrate with the other software solutions we use, unlike PDI?
Absolutely. FleetPanda’s Fuel Dispatch Software has the capability of interfacing with your existing systems. We would suggest getting on a call to further discuss your specific requirements.
Does FleetPanda integrate with accounting/back-office systems, and how is it different from PDI?
We do integrate with most of the common accounting and back office systems, including NetSuite, DM2, QuickBooks etc. As for PDI, it lacks integration capabilities, and data must be entered manually, which is quite time-consuming and tedious.
How long does it take to implement and set up FleetPanda compared to PDI?
With FleetPanda, your entire team can get and up and running with the system in just a matter of weeks. PDI, on the other hand, takes years to implement, and even after implementation, PDI fails to fully automate operations, and processes remain manual.
How is FleetPanda’s pricing different from PDI's?
There are two things here. One - FleetPanda has a module based-pricing that costs about a fraction of what PDI charges. Moreover, for PDI, you have to pay a huge sum upfront for their entire product suite. Second - We have regular weekly feature updates. PDI’s software upgrades are rare and expensive - and most of the time, you don’t have an option but to pay up.
