Section I
Introduction
1.1 About BPCL
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL) is the 2nd largest oil marketing company in the country.
BPCL is one of the Fortune 500 Companies in the country with ranking of 290 th and declared as a
“Navratna” by the Government of India. BPCL’s Retail Business Unit is the largest amongst its 6
Business Units accounting for 60% of its turnover of Rs. 2, 40,000 Crores and having about 21%
marketing share in India. BPCL infrastructure today possess of strategic network of more than 11000
retail outlets across the country.
BPCL fostering customer relationship
At Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), we understand customers need and relentlessly
work towards fulfilling them, working consciously towards providing added value in fuel and non-fuel
areas. The Corporation has pioneered offerings in Indian Petroleum retailing space that have bridged
need gaps of its customers, Loyalty is one such attempt to foster and reward relationships. With its
customer centric initiatives leveraging information technology for both its reach and results, Bharat
Petroleum has in fact revolutionized the fuel retailing business with the nation’s first ever SmartCard
solution in the Oil & Gas sector.
Recognizing the needs of our customers to make life more convenient and rewarding, BPCL was a
pioneer in introducing a loyalty-cum-rewards program, PetroBonus in India. Equipped with Smart
Card Technology, the PetroBonus program combines convenience in payment along with an inbuilt
rewards program with reward points “Petromiles” every time the customer fuels. To cater to large
Fleet Owners , SmartFleet program was launched offering convenience, security and a host of
privileges such as cashless transactions, vehicle tracking, credit option and Cash Management
System. At the time of launch, the programme had just one variant - Petro Card which was designed
to cater to the needs of the individual motorists.
PetroBonus & SmartFleet:
Over the last 11 years, the programme has grown multi fold and the turnover during the last year was
over Rs. 18,000, Crores. BPCL has its Loyalty Program spread across geographies and demography
in the country at over 5000 Retail outlets and serving over 4 million members with a sale that is
garnering 13% of its Fuel volume through loyal customers.
PetroBonus
The ubiquitous ‘PetroBonus’ program is the first of BPCL’s loyalty program offerings to the Indian
consumer. The program today marks its presence in over 75 Indian cities. Today with a member
base of over 1 million, the program provides for a turnover of over Rs 2400/- Crores to BPCL.

When a customer becomes a member of the ‘PetroBonus Programme’, a smart card is assigned,
branded as ‘Petro Card’. The card is a chip based card designed in a CUG (closed user group) mode
to ensure that while cash was transacted, it also provided security to members. ‘Petro Card’ has to be
pre-loaded with cash for the purchase of fuel, lubricants and FMCG items from its ‘In & Out’ Stores
(convenience store offering of BPCL) at select BPCL outlets in select cities. The member earns
reward points on all purchases which can be redeemed for exciting rewards.
SmartFleet
After the launch of its popular program ‘Petro Bonus’ BPCL observed that there was a very
specific need of a dedicated program for Fleet Owners. Today, a ‘SmartFleet’ member (targeted
to be a fleet owner) has the convenience of managing their fleet operations, with comfort of
security.
Facilitating the members with ‘Cashless Transactions’ the other facilities in the program are:
1. Cash Management System
2. MIS reports
3. Rewards for the members
4. Customer segmentation
5. Credit Option
1.4 Business need:
The loyalty program has been so active, so passionate, so fast changing, and so heavily relied-
upon by BPCL to drive member retention, competitive differentiation, engagement and advocacy.
These 12 years of running the program has made BPCL use vast experience and knowledge to
dwell on various aspects of the program like -Metrics and Analysis, Business Operations,
Reporting and Accountability, Branding, Customer Retention and Acquisition, E-mail strategies,
Deployment of new Technologies, Understanding consumer attitudes and perceptions, Marketing
relevance & Customer feedback.
After a decade of service to the Indian consumer, the program is on the edge of its ‘Life Cycle’,
that requires a push. More mature markets from the west have brought in new loyalty formats
that the Indian market is experimenting to scale on to the new platform. BPCL needs to explore a
new evolution path for the program that the members should cherish.
The PetroBonus and SmartFleet programs have also seen tremendous growth over the recent
past. It’s therefore imperative that such large programs be managed well to keep pace with the
changing demands of the consumer. This prompted us to look at services and make use of
outsourced specialized agencies for redeveloping & managing the loyalty programme.
Business objective:
The program is currently operating on a hybrid model where components are outsourced while a part
is managed in house. However even in the outsourced components there are multiple stake-holders.
The responsibilities of service providers overlap leading to accountability gaps leaving scope for
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528

improvement in the service levels. BPCL’s endeavor in fostering loyalty covering various features of
the programme, operation, Metrics and Analysis, Business Operations, Reporting and Accountability,
Branding, Customer Retention and Acquisition, E-mail strategies, Deployment of new Technologies,
Understanding consumer attitudes and perceptions, Marketing relevance & Customer feedback.
BPCL as its larger objective intends to focus on areas of marketing, customer understanding and
business development. Moving in this direction BPCL wants to outsource management of the entire
back end system for the Petro Card and SmartFleet programs. The outsourcing model will involve
end to end responsibility with Service Provider for host/EDC application and its AMC and EDC
deployment and field services. The service provider will be given due authorities and freedom to run
the system along with BPCL staff and deliver desirable service levels. BPCL will however lay down
guiding principles of security, information confidentiality, accessibility and interface with other Vendors
like Wipro, Oracle, and others, who have primary relationship with BPCL.

activities.

Host Processes
The Host is the hub of all storage, processing and entire program management. It shall be the main
powerhouse of controlling various components of the Loyalty Card program. Some of the primary
activities in the Host shall be:
Transaction Schema Management
Transaction Schema is a set of business rules applicable to a particular type of transaction. All
schemes/promotions of BPCL Petro Card Program shall be handled using the concept of
Transaction Schemas.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
120
For example, one Transaction Schema can be created for awarding 5% of Sale amount as
loyalty points on SALE of petrol. This schema can then be assigned to a set of EDCs.
Whenever any such EDC settles with the Host, the latest Transaction Schema will be
downloaded on it. Thus all future schemes can be configured at the Host and conveniently
downloaded to the EDC. Schemas can be assigned to individual EDC or even to a group of
EDC belonging to a particular Merchant, Region or territory.
There shall be two interfaces for schema management, one for creating / modifying a schema
and the other for allocating/de-allocating a Schema to/from a EDC.
Terminal Parameters Management
Terminal parameters are changeable parameters that can be defined for a EDC. The behavior
of a EDC can be controlled through these parameters. For example, “Settlement Time” is a
parameter which can be set to 12 hours for one EDC and 24 hours for another EDC. Based on
this parameter, the EDC will prompt the batch settlement after 12 or 24 hours respectively.
These parameters shall be configurable at the Host and changes downloaded to the respective
EDC at the time of settlement.
An interface shall be provided to edit the values of the parameters for a EDC. When a EDC
registers, all the parameter values specific to that EDC get downloaded. In case no specific
parameters are defined for a EDC, a list of default parameters defined at the Host shall be
downloaded on the EDC. The parameters can be changed at any time, even after registration.
For example, if the footer message is changed for a specific duration, the changed parameter
gets downloaded to the EDC at the time of settlement and the new value in the footer is
printed.
Hotlisting Management
Hotlisting is a process in which Customer Card is marked with a flag so that no further
transaction can be performed on it.(Has 2 variants-Permanent & temporary hot listing)
On the other hand, de-hotlisting is the process of removing the flag from any hotlisted card.
Whereas, the hotlist process prevents the usage of a card, de-hotlisting enables the Customer
to use the disabled card again.
Hotlisting of cards can be done for:
User Cards
SAM Cards
Following is the process for User Card hotlisting:
Customer calls up the Issuer and makes a request for card hotlisting.
The request is entered into the System through GUI.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
121
At the end of the day, when Merchant connects to the Host for settlement, all the
new hotlisted cards are downloaded and saved in the hot list file at the Point Of Sale
terminal.
In case, card is hotlisted and then dehotlisted before being sent, the hotlist will not
be sent.
During settlement, first hotlisted cards are downloaded, then de-hotlisted cards are
downloaded and only then the transactions are transferred from POS to host.
If any hot listed card comes to the terminal for transaction, it checks if the card id is
present in the hot list file. If the hot list type is Temporary, the terminal simply
declines the transaction. If on the other hand the card is hot listed permanently, the
card is physically blocked by the terminal so that it cannot be activated again.
User Card Hotlisting
The Hotlist on the POS terminal will be maintained for last 90 days (number of days is configurable by
the system administrator). The advantage of maintaining only 3 months hotlisted data is to reduce the
size of the Hotlist file on the POS to minimum. It will provide more space on POS for transaction
storage. It will also help in time reduction when a POS is registered for the first time (quick hotlist
loading on POS as the size is restricted to only 3 months). Whenever, a Customer visits the Merchant
outlet to use the card and the Hotlist data for the card is available on the POS, the Hotlist flag on the
card will be marked. At the end of the day, POS will send the transaction to Host – informing that the
card has been marked (hotlist flag on card) as hotlisted, Host will subsequently send the request for
deletion of the card from POS (all POS terminals) hotlist file. This will also help to reduce the size of
the hotlist file on the POS terminals. Customer will not be able to use the card unless it is de-hotlisted
through a request on host.
SAM Card Hotlisting
SAM can be hotlisted under following circumstances:
The Merchant reports the host of the stolen or damaged SAM card.
Merchant gets unregistered from the scheme, and then SAM Issued to the Merchant for
some specific period is marked as hotlisted.
Note: Issuer may mark any SAM as hotlisted as it deems fit. This can be done if some foul play is
suspected and Issuer wants to stall the usage of SAM for the time being.
When any terminal with hotlisted SAM connects to Host for settlement and the SAM id is downloaded
as hot listed SAM, the terminal blocks the SAM When the SAM is blocked, no further transaction is
allowed in the terminal. Only the settlement is allowed so that the old transactions can be sent to
Host.
De-hotlist (Reactivation)
This process describes the De-hotlist synchronization in a smart-card system. Customer calls up
BPCL and reports that he has found his lost card. BPCL Host runs the De-hotlisting process. At EOD,
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
122
the Terminal downloads the latest de-hotlisted entries. Following shall be the process for de-hotlisting
a card:
Customer calls up the Issuer and makes a request for card de-hotlisting.
Host records the reasons for de-hotlisting the card.
The card ID is marked as de-hotlisted at the Host end.
At the end of the day, when a Merchant connects to the Host for settlement, all new
hotlisted cards and then de-hotlisted cards are downloaded on the Point Of Sale terminal.
The terminal removes the cards entry from the hot list file.
Note:
1. If a card is hotlisted and also de-hotlisted before hot list parameter is sent to EDC, the record will
not get transmitted to EDC..
2. Only the Temporary hot listed cards can be de-hotlisted.

as well as store and process transactions.
Petro Card/ Fleet Card
Petrocard is a smart card, using which one can do cashless transactions for purchasing
fuel/lubricants/In & Out items etc. at BPCL Retail outlets. Petrocard is essentially a pre-paid
card and is meant for individuals who want to avail convenience of prepayment. The user has
to load money on this card before it can be used for making purchases at BPCL retail outlets. It
is also being referred to as User Card - in this document. Fleet cards can have credit option or
central Cash (CMS) option in addition to the normal prepaid facility.

BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
126
Hotlist
Hotlist is a list of accounts (SAM, User cards, Customers, Corporate Customers, Fleet Vehicles)
disabled from performing any transaction. For example, if loss of a card is reported, it is hotlisted on
request on the Host. When such a card is presented at any EDC, it will be marked as Blocked. Upon
getting blocked the card cannot be used on any EDC. Hotlist is of temporary and permanent nature.
Terminal Parameters
Terminal parameters are list of parameters that control the behavior of a EDC. These parameters are
configurable at the Host and then downloaded to the EDC during Registration or Batch Settlement.
Downloadable Terminal Parameters provide a powerful mechanism to remotely control the behavior
of a EDC from the Host.
Transaction Processing
Different types of transactions that are supported by the system Transactions are done and stored
offline at the Terminal and are sent to the Server in batches. Each transaction at the Terminal is
identified by its Receipt of Count (ROC), which starts from 1 for a batch. Terminals are allowed to
perform transactions offline until they exceed the defined limit of maximum transactions, maximum
amount or maximum time. On reaching the maximum limit, the Terminal sends the details of all
transactions to the host. This process is known as Settlement.
Settlement
To begin with, the Terminal sends its identity (Terminal No) and the Batch No. to the Host. Host
verifies with the database if this Terminal is trying to settle the Batch for the first time or it had tried
earlier and terminated abnormally. If no previous entry is found, the host stores this information in the
Settlements table and sends “Terminal 0 (zero)” as response. Each row of this table corresponds to
one settlement from Terminal identified by a unique settlement ID. On the contrary, if the entry for this
batch is already found in the database, the Host returns the information on the last transaction that it
had received.
Once the Terminal and Batch identification is over, the Terminal sends the transaction data for that
batch one by one. If the Terminal tries to settle the batch for the first time, it receives ‘0’ from Host
and therefore starts sending transactions beginning from ‘1’. And if it had already sent transactions till
ROC = x in the previous attempt, it sends all transactions starting from x+1 in the current batch.
Transaction data received at the Host is in a predefined XML format. The Host verifies if the
transaction data is complete and satisfies the predefined format. If it is found in an invalid format,
Host rejects the transaction and prompts the Terminal to send the data again. Else, the transaction
data is stored in the Raw Transactions table and a response code is sent to the terminal. Thus, the
Host receives and verifies all the transactions for the batch. Once all the transactions are sent to the
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
127
Host, the Terminal finally sends the summary of the batch. On receiving the summary, Host verifies
all the transactions of the batch against it. If the transactions match with the summary, the batch is
marked complete and it’s processing starts. But in case of a mismatch, the Host rejects the whole
batch and asks the Terminal to resend the missing transactions (only). For a mismatch in the amount,
all the transactions for the batch are requested again. These exceptional cases are taken care of
automatically without manual intervention.
When a batch is marked complete, each transaction of the batch is processed based on its type. In
the first step, all the relevant data of a transaction is extracted from XML, validated and stored in a
table. In the next step, amount is calculated for different entities and their ledger is updated in the
LEDGER table. A ledger is maintained for all the accounts and is updated instantaneously.
For special type of transactions, the data processing will be as follows:
Sale
When a sale transaction is processed, the transaction amount is debited from the ledger balance and
the real balance sent by the Terminal is used to update the Real balance in the Ledger. Sale
transactions can be of three types:
1. Offline Sale
2. Online Sale
3. CMS Online Sale
Offline Sale Transactions
In case of Offline sale transactions, all the transaction details are loaded at the Host end at the time of
Settlement. No extra processing is required for these types of transactions.
Online Sale Transactions
For these kinds of transactions, all the transaction details are loaded at the Host at the time of
transaction and at the time of Settlement. Both the details are matched and if they do not match, the
details at the transaction time are replaced by the latest details loaded at the Settlement time. The
ledger is updated only after the Settlement. The transaction amount is debited form the Card balance
in the ledger.
CMS Online Sale Transactions
This is a special sale transaction, in which, transaction amount is debited from the Fleet Owner’s
account and not Card account. Therefore this transaction needs to be processed immediately.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
128
Whenever the transaction is done, it comes to the Host, gets processed and ledger is updated.
Owner’s account is debited by the transaction amount. Same transaction details also come at the
time of settlement and if a mismatch occurs, earlier processing is undone i.e. the owner’s account is
credited by the transaction amount and the transaction detail is replaced by new transaction details.
Hence, new details are processed.
Petro Enrollment
Petro enrollment refers to applying for a Petro Card by filling out an application form at a BPCL outlet.
Fleet Enrollment
Fleet Enrollment refers to applying for a Corporate Card where a Corporate Customer fills out the
Number of vehicles he/she has and the number of people who will be using these Fleet cards.
Inventory
Inventory refers to the inventory of gifts, which are a part of various schemes. For example, a scheme
can enable a Customer to be entitled to a gift of 10 parker pens on buying a product during the
specified period.
Complaint
Terminals provided at the BPCL outlets also have a feature of filing a complaint if a Customer is not
happy with a Merchant. Predefined complaints can be lodged from the Terminal, which are forwarded
to the Host and an action can be taken on them.
Loyalty Award
From time to time, BPCL would award his Customers for their loyalty. These awards are given in the
form of loyalty points which can be redeemed later. Every time a Customer makes a transaction using
the Petro/Fleet Card, ledger table is updated with the loyalty points awarded.
Loyalty Redeem
When a Customer requests for loyalty redemption against an Item ID, the Inventory table gets
updated at the Host end. Ledger table in the database is also updated.
CMS Recharge
When a fleet card owner or a corporate Customer puts money in his account it is called CMS
Recharge. It is an online transaction. For this type of transaction, ledger is not updated. Ledger is
updated only at the time of settlement. If ledger details for a transaction do not match with the details
arrived at the time of settlement, these details are overwritten with the latest settlement details.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
129
Tracking
Tracking of vehicle is done depending upon the usage of cards at various locations. When a
transporter makes a transaction using the Fleet card at a certain location, the details are sent to the
Host informing of the location of the transporter. These details are updated in the database.
Void
If any wrong entry is made while performing a transaction, it is cancelled and considered void. When
a void transaction comes, all the earlier transactions roll back. So both the transactions would not
appear in the report.
Utilities
Not implemented yet
Reload
When a Reload transaction is processed, the transaction amount is credited in the ledger balance
and the real balance sent by the Terminal is used to update the Real balance in the Ledger. Reload
transactions can be of three types:
Offline Reload
Online Reload
CMS Online Reload
Offline Reload Transactions
In case of Offline reload transactions, all the transaction details are loaded at the Host end at the time
of Settlement. No extra processing is required for these types of transactions.
Online Reload Transactions
For these kinds of transactions, all the transaction details are loaded at the Host at the time of
transaction and at the time of Settlement. Both the details are matched and if they do not match, the
details at the transaction time are replaced by the latest details loaded at the Settlement time. The
ledger is updated only after the Settlement. The transaction amount is credited form the Card balance
in the ledger.
CMS Online Reload Transactions
For these types of transactions, when some amount is reloaded (or credited) on a transporter’s card,
it is debited from its parent (i.e. Fleet owner’s or Corporate Customer’s) account.

Card Personalisation
BPCL application is a suite of applications interacting with each other facilitating a
transaction process.
Card Issuance
The Card Issuance application involves issuance of Master Card, SAM Card, User Card,
Unblocking, Fund Transfer and Refund. The Card Issuance application issues various
cards ( Magnetic / Smartchip card) for the terminal as well as for the users after
authenticating them. Card authentication involves authenticating various keys which are
matched against some parameters in the application. Key Management system has to be
specifically implemented for the security reasons required for the application success in
line with available highest security standard.
Key Management System
Key management is required for the following:
1. At the time of issuing new cards for security purpose
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
142
2. At the time of validating a card
The Key Management system necessitates that the keys be provided through a secure
Master Card. The security implementation on java Master Card is done as per the highest
available security standard with the approval of BPCL authority. The security features
implemented on the Master card include:
1. PIN Verification: It prompts the user to input the right PIN for authentication
2. Expiry: The expiry of the Master card on the specified date terminates the usage of
Master card
3. Usage Counter: This counter limits the total number of User or Terminal cards that
can be issued using any Master card.
Note: The PIN, Expiry Date and the Usage Counter on the Master card can be changed
using an Admin Master Key in presence of cross function team authorizing the activity.
When the Usage Counter expires on the Master card, Admin key is used to change the
Counter.
Security Features:
1. User cards are protected with a PIN which is mandatory to perform any transaction.
The PIN can be changed at any time as requested by the card holder
2. SAM (Terminal) cards are again protected by PIN which can be changed as desired
by the card holder
3. All the keys are stored on the cards to provide maximum security to the card to avoid
fraud . These Card Keys cannot be read/ tampered or deleted by an external entity.
4. All important keys should be stored at loyalty server, with a adequate security to
ensure that none of the external/unauthorized entity could read /tamper or delete the
info.
5. Injection of required keys shall be done on any card only through the loyalty server.
6. All the security keys are used during Authentication, Validation while performing a
transaction on the card.
7. A comprehensive secured log has to be maintained for audit/investigation and
analysis purpose. These logs should have access restriction, cannot be read/
tampered with or deleted by an external/unauthorized entity.
Issuance of Master Card
BPCL Master Keys, SAM card applet and KMCs, ZMKs keys are stored on the Master
card. These keys are used while personalizing a User card or SAM card. The keys from the
Master card are read in a secure way and injected on to the User/SAM card.

This application enables the creation and personalization of the Master card. It is a
standalone PC application which interacts with the Card Reader and card. Since Master
card is a java card, a customized java card applet (cap file) is required to load on to the
Master card. This Master card applet is loaded first on the Master card followed by all other
keys.
Perso application allows the card issuer to perform several card specific operations. The
master card / SAM card / user card has to be initiated through central server, with trace,
risk analysis and proactive risk mitigation module. The integration between perso
application and central server for extraction of card data and keys shall be done through
secured web services. The server shall maintain a list of whitlisting IP address from which
perso application can be invoked for better control and security apart from the centralized
role based authentication.
Issuance of SAM Card
SAM card (Terminal card) is a security module card for terminal. The SAM card is a java
card placed inside the Terminal. SAM card contains a SAM card applet, security keys, and
other SAM card specific information. The SAM card should hold the required keys for
authenticating user cards. The SAM card should be personalized with expiry date .
Issuance of User Card
The Card Issuance application provides a GUI for issuance and personalization of the
cards. The application fetches the information from the backend, initializes the card and
writes the customer specific information on it and finally updates the account status and
other information at the backend.
Important Features of the CARD PERSO GUI:
1. Read
This option enables the Card Issuer to read the data on the physical card and display
the common basic information from card to screen.
2. Fleet Items Reallocation
Fleet operators are allowed to change their fleet vehicles limits. Once the limits are
decided they are updated at the backend. The Fleet Items Reallocation option in the
application enables the Card Issuer to reallocate the new limits to the vehicle card. In
this case, the old limits from the card are erased. (This option is valid only for fleet card.)

ANNEXURE III
Loyalty Partner Program (TML) Business Process
The magnetic swipe card application should be made for multiple partners. The partners can be
deleted added based on configuration /parameter tables. This application shall be used for the loyalty
business partner. There could be the possibility that MOU with partner may remain for limited period
and after that it may end. We should be able to remove this partner from the tables easily. The
application should be such that it should not be partner oriented. The addition and deletion of partner
should not evoke changes in the application. The application roll out is costly affair which should not
be done by change addition/deletion of partner. The partner table should exist in terminal and
changes should be downloaded at the time of settlement.
This application should be separately with no relationship with the existing loyalty application. At the
server level also this application will have its own tables and database which will not have any
relationship with the existing loyalty database instance. As of now Tata Motors is the partner with we
are starting this application.
Terminal Application
Magnetic cards of Partner and BPCL are swiped at BPCL outlet. Transactions are to be processed
online
There will be four checks at the EDC level for the current partner BPCL-partner Motors
If first two characters are for the partners identification to be checked from configuration table
1. 1st Character identifies the Partner ( 3 for BPCL-PARTNER)
2. 2nd Character identifies the Type of program of partner ( 1 & 2 for BPCL-PARTNER)
3. Every card should satisfy the Luhn formula
4. Terminal application should also check the expiry date of the card from the current date.
5. Card hot listing checking should be done from a hot listing table.
If any of the above conditions are not met decline the transaction with message “Card Not
Authorized”
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
148
Once Cards satisfy these four checks, it will push all the transaction to Server level
At server it should check the daily limit defined for that particular card from another table for
Partner/type of program.
If daily limit is consumed the message should be shown as “Daily Limit Over- Trx Decline” and
the transaction should be declined. Similar check should also be introduced for monthly limit
checking.
The limit of no of transactions in a day (00.00 Hrs to 24.00 Hrs ) per card also to be checked from a
Config table.
If daily limit is consumed the message should be shown as “No. of Trx limit exceeds- Trx
Decline” and the transaction should be declined.
At the BPCL level, all points gets converted into BPCL Petro Miles based on the mapping table of
product purchased value and PM calculation. The PM will be based on the product purchased by the
customer.
The exception provision is to be made to check if customer is the BPCL-Loyalty member then no PM
to be awarded. If the card is in Hotlist table no PM should be awarded. This should be checked from
the tables available.
Printing Slip
Each transaction should trigger printing of the slip mentioning
Merchant name/ Terminal ID/Batch No/ROC no
Name of product / Amount Purchased
Incorporate date and time stamp which is from host.
Print slip count for the day, mentioned on the charge slip.
Version No of Software
Configurable Message from server: Thanks for Fuelling At BPCL Retail Outlet
Settlement
The batch should be settled with following condition parameterized in a table. The settlement should
be auto for following parameter.
If transactions have reached the count 75 (configurable)
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
149
If the time gap between last transaction and current time is more than12 Hrs or 24 hrs depending on
the terminal limit as Rs. 75 K or 150K respectively.
The settlement should also pass the parameter of changes in partner table on the terminal. In case
any partner is added or deleted the same information should flow to terminal.
The settlement and transaction should be supported by all modes of communication e.g.
RAS/SNC/NAC/VSAT/INTERNET
There should be one settlement for all the transactions on that terminal.
Recreation of data
Since data will come online, in case there is crash on terminal side data should be created from the
online data on server. There should be facility to recreate data from the server and EDC.
Void
There should be facility available to void a transaction as per the best practice.
Performance
The time of transaction should not exceed 15 seconds from command to end.
The settlement should not take more than 5 minutes from command to end.
Technical
The Java code on the server should J2e 1.5 compatible with Weblogic 11G and Oracle 10g also
which will be phased out soon. The database will be Oracle 11g.
Care has to be taken for any incomplete transaction. In case of any failure from terminal to server link
the transaction should be taken only complete. Incomplete transactions have to be rejected with
proper message to the customer. The software should have this intelligent built. The charge slip
should not be printed in case of incomplete transactions.
The table structure and database design can be made by bidder to the best of their expertise in
consideration with BPCL. The files which will come from partner and update will be following
a) Every third day the daily settlement data of Petromiles awarded and owner card no
update.(B2B)
b) Quarterly data of redemption by the customers out of BPCL Petromiles earned.(B2B)
The proposed B2B will be developed by BPCL after bidder decides the table structure and database
design.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528

Back End Activity – At BPCL
The transaction data of all the accumulations done every day will be sent to Partner in flat file by B2B
interface.
The partner will send back the file with ACTUAL PM rewarded based on the profile of customer and
their card hot listing status. The change in PM rewarded will have the remark column reason of
change. The BPCL shall pay to BPCL-partner on the actual redemption of PM by BPCL-PARTNER,
this settlement at present is decided to be done on Quarterly basis, the redemption file will come
quarterly from partner and the same will be updated in BPCL server database. There wi ll be proper
checks on the file transfer, the file sent and received will be tracked, checked for validity in the B2B
interface.
The information transactions which are not qualified is sent back to BPCL in as status file for the
same flat file. There is addition of field in the reverse file with the reason of rejection. In the reverse
file owner card number will also come from the partner, which will enable us to get accumulation at
owner card level.
Accumulation of points done through different products of BPCL will be get calculated by logic which
is maintained with BPCL. BPCL will just upload the transaction as per the data provided for the
products for the Points accumulated
By using BPCL-partner Delight cards (chassis) BPCL-PARTNER Delight members would be eligible
to earn point for all products available at BPCL outlet like Diesel, Lubes, and CNG etc.
Petro miles will be different for different products but value of Petro miles remain constant
BPCL-PARTNER Delight members should be allowed to earn points on IN and OUT stores
It was proposed by BPCL that both IT and business process should be designed to prevent misuse of
card. Following steps were discussed and suggested,
Daily and Monthly consumption caps depending on vehicle type for diesel
No. of transactions allowed in a day
Unique logic at EDC level to reject card transactions
The details of same would be documented in process document, MOU and T&C.
BPCL-PARTNER should debar a customer from earning the Petromiles, if the customer is a member
in SmartFleet. BPCL will confirm the activity level of such customers upon receipt of such information
from BPCL-PARTNER.
BPCL-PARTNER would share its entire key accounts data with BPCL.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528

BPCL/BPCL-PARTNER will identify common members and provide their membership details for
BPCL-PARTNER to maintain in Siebel system to avoid duplication of points
BPCL will push all transaction data to BPCL-PARTNER including those having BPCL points but
members with BPCL Fleet card will be flagged and their Petro miles will be update as zero BPCL-
partner points.( if a SmartFleet member does not use the fleet card and uses the BPCL-partner card,
then the customer should be given the benefits of BPCL points on BPCL-partner card)
BPCL program members would not be allowed to earn points on Delight/Emperor membership (As
explained above)
BPCL team to convey on the vendor code they would like to use with BPCL-PARTNER for all
financial transactions
Back End Activity- At BPCL-PARTNER
BPCL-PARTNER has a process set to capture BPCL membership on its enrollments form.
Necessary developments in CRM would ensure points earned are not duplicated
The petro miles will show as a reference in Siebel for handling member queries if any.
BPCL-PARTNER would share data of its loyalty members performing exceptionally well on BPCL
front with BPCL for them to offer members their program.(Need more clarification)
Data would be shared in a predefined format which would be shared by BPCL team. The same would
have field like Terminal ID, Terminal location, date, time, product etc.
BPCL-PARTNER CRM team to propose a template on details they would require or confirm once the
format shared by BPCL
The data would be shared daily basis at a predefined time
Format of the File will be text and as of now it is decided that file will be push through FTP access
The updated file after changed data will be pushed back to BPCL. BPCL will simply replace existing
records
If Card Number changed in case of renewal or loss of cards, it has no impact at BPCL end, but
BPCL-partner has to merge the transaction happened with the old card number at BPCL end with the
new card number allotted.
BPCL would share all points earned by members in form of petro miles.
The BPCL-PARTNER IT team would have to convert the same to BPCL-PARTNER points basis the
conversion factor that will be provided by BPCL as per MOU

152
The realization of liability will only happen against actual redemptions
The reconciliation of accounts will be done by the team either on a monthly or quarterly basis
BPCL petro miles would lapse with the same frequency as BPCL-PARTNER points i.e. 2 years (e.g.
the points earned in FY 13 will laps on 01/04/2014, with 3 months grace period)
BPCL-PARTNER to confirm to BPCL on vendor code they would like to use with BPCL for all
financial transactions
All customer issues will be dealt with by BPCL-PARTNER motors being their program and members
and the process and T&C should contain the same explicitly
Process
Card Issuance / Operations
The card will be issued by BPCL-PARTNER motors the design of the card shall be decided by mutual
consent of BPCL/BPCL-PARTNER Motors as per MOU. The card layout and any changes in the card
layout, if any, have to be incorporated by BPCL-PARTNER so that card can be recognized as
BPCL/BPCL-PARTNER with complete security. Card should have compulsorily pin which will enable
the secured usage of the card In case Pin is blocked by entering more than 3 times wrong pin , the
call centre of BPCL-PARTNER has to be contacted for new pin. All card related issues will be
resolved by BPCL-PARTNER through their card operations and call centre like card hotlisting,
replacement of card, issuance or any other issue with card. The helpline is also provided by BPCL-
PARTNER motors to the customers.
Loyalty execution of BPCL/BPCL-PARTNER
BPCL will develop the terminal and host application to accept the card on the loyalty terminal as a
separate application . The card issued by BPCL-PARTNER has to be swiped at loyalty terminals
when customer comes to BPCL retail outlet to purchase fuel or their products. The fuel to be
activated on the card will be configurable . The card swiped will have following features.
Card has to be authenticated at the terminals in BPCL retail outlet.
Customer will get only loyalty points based on the product purchased.
This will be a pure loyalty program, no financial transaction of money.
The transaction will be online, there will not be any offline transaction.
There will be limit on award of points for the amount of fuel purchased daily/monthly (this was not
discussed earlier)
Apart from the daily monthly limit it will have an umbrella limit on the amount.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
153
The new application of terminal & host will be separate and will not have any linkage with the current
loyalty program
The data of transaction like terminal id/batch id, amount, date/time of transaction, Merchant code,
loyalty points awarded ETC will get stored on the BPCL server.
The data shall be sent to BPCL-PARTNER on regular interval thru B2B interface scheduled in cron.
IF the data is not going in any of the exchange then it should go in the next exchange and so on.
The data shall be again authenticated at BPCL-PARTNER server using the profile data where final
points will be arrived based on profile data like card is hotlisted or not , the settlement data shall be
generated by BPCL-PARTNER at their end after data validation and send the invoice to BPCL
supported by the data.
The points rewarded at POS (No display of the points at POS) and points rewarded by Jv partner will
be returned and stored in DB.
The card hotlist/de-hotlist data shall be sent to BPCL in the B2B communication for use at anytime
At BPCL host customer profile data will not be maintained( It is better, if BPCL-PARTNER is sharing
the profile data and maintained at our end for next EIGHT years, which will enable us to target these
customers, if they are no more a member in BPCL-PARTNER programme) .
There should be option on card to void any transaction fully.
Server Level
The transactions should confirm to ISO standard and EMV certified.
The database for this application has to be maintained separately with no linkage to current loyalty
tables
Each transaction should confirm the data authenticity at the server.
Some mechanism should be built to decline the transaction at terminal in case data on server is not
proper.
The JV partner master should be maintained at server in configurable mode so that later any partner
addition should be a just configurable job.
Every hour (frequency shall be decided later) the transaction should be accumulated and sent to JV
partner server thru B2B interface
A confirmation from the JV partner server should come that the data is reached accurately
This exchange can happen as many as 24 times in a day.
BPCL CRFQ No: 1000200528
154
Proper tracking to be kept for the data sent to avoid duplication of data.
Every day basis a report need to be generated on the
BPCL-PARTNER need to provide the redemption file with card and the parent ID to verify the same at
our end.
The logic for aging of the Petromiles should be built up along with the issuance to enable us to inform
BPCL-PARTNER about lapsing of the same.
