FuelTooler
FuelTooler has established itself as a superior way to develop and evolve a web presence for your firm. Although our FuelTooler server is in the US, all your web development work is professionally done by our very competent bi-lingual staff in Uruguay and Argentina. This creates extensive value and a substantial competitive advantage as compared to any of the US-based alternatives. For you, this approach is no different than sending instructions and communications across town. But, you'll notice a difference because we are half owned by our South American designers and coders, and they are very anxious to service US markets. Consequently, we are faster, better and much cheaper. Quality Service and Customer Satisfaction are a constant in all our projects.
Although FuelTooler has an oil industry focus, we are able to do quality IT, software, SEO and web development work for any company or individual. Our specialty is Flash animations that are cheaper than what you would normally pay for static and boring. We'll pledge to really give your online image some pizzazz. We are cost effective enough to evolve your website and keep it fresh at a minimal expense. We can handle any project - from a basic promotional website to complex database driven sites, search engine optimizations and e-commerce applications. We'll guarantee it: Twice the Web Development Bang for Half the Buck$.
Mission Statement
Our main objectives are to deliver unmatched value and the optimal evolving web presence for your firm. We intend to become unsurpassed in customer retention and satisfaction as compared to any other company servicing the downstream oil sector.
At the same time, we will maximize our social contribution to Uruguay in terms of employment and local charitable donations. Our ultimate goal is to become the largest non-multinational U.S. employer and charitable contributor in Uruguay.
Background
At FuelTooler, we are proud of our past, and looking forward to what we are about to put together. We are a unique upstart company. We do not have extensive business backgrounds, long-term references or fancy offices. However, we do have what it takes to deliver exceptional value in this ever changing, fast breaking world of corporate website development.
Our greatest asset and our considerable competitive advantage stems from our core group of highly skilled, educated & motivated employees. Their home country, Uruguay, has benefited from governmental policy that guarantees free university, graduate and postgraduate education for all its citizens.
They have the highest educated and highest per capita professional class in South America. In addition, up until the start of this decade, they were the most prosperous. But since then, Uruguay caught the brunt of the 'collateral damage' from the banking collapses, currency devaluations and financial debacles from its two huge neighbors: Brazil and Argentina. Local demand for professional services, such as web development, has since withered.
So we are excited about tapping into this considerable young talent. And we are also anxious to create and build this business opportunity for our South American associates where such opportunities are too frequently lacking. To our knowledge, we are the first and only enterprise to carve out a niche for Uruguayan IT professionals for a specific US-based industry.
At FuelTooler, we are pleased to introduce Diego Bension our Managing Partner and the pivotal local component behind our success.
Just like web development anywhere in the world, we recognize the importance of retaining a youthful perspective and expertise in order to stay out there on the technological cutting edge. Diego personifies the well-educated, fluent in English, highly skilled IT professional that we will be retaining in Uruguay. We are looking forward to growing an extensive staff of similar top-notch professionals eager to meet your needs for a fraction of the cost of any of your alternatives.
Oil Focus
FuelTooler showed extensive foresight by focusing on the US oil and petroleum equipment sectors when we first formed in 2003. Oil and energy are becoming increasingly important for any business venture. We cut our teeth serving the needs of oil distributors and oil equipment suppliers who maybe we are not big enough to have their own IT department or just recognized the merits of outsourcing these skills. We have since diversified into other business segments but will always have a special focus and understanding of the downstream oil business needs.
FuelTooler also understands the gravity of oil and energy depletion fundamentals and have sponsored a special online oil and energy market message board since our founding. You can access this valuable resource of current oil market information here: Petroleum & Energy Market
