Poynt Expands to Include Petrol Price Comparison

Poynt Corporation has launched a petrol search feature in the UK, on its local search and advertising platform. Poynt users will be able to find the closest or cheapest petrol stations in their local area, courtesy of a partnership with fuel price sharing community Whatgas.com.

“In-app petrol prices have proven to be one of our most popular search verticals in the US, and we believe that providing petrol prices to our UK users will be equally successful,” says Andrew Osis, Poynt CEO. “This new feature reflects our continued focus on rolling out feature parity globally, adding new search verticals, and improving our data sources in order to increase user retention, stimulate user queries and grow revenues.”

Whatgas.coms data, covering more than 8,700 petrol stations in the UK, was used by over 1.5m UK drivers last year.
