A wholesale fuel supplier Australia route that protects the introduction, not just the price
Stratum gives EN590 diesel suppliers a distribution channel into Australian commercial demand across road transport, construction, mining and agriculture. Every introduction is protected by a signed NCNDA before any buyer identity or commercial term is disclosed.
Why suppliers work through Stratum rather than direct
Selling into the Australian commercial diesel market directly means building and qualifying buyer relationships from zero in a market you may not have an established presence in. That is a slow, expensive way to find out whether a route is even viable.
We sit on the buyer-facing side of that problem already. Fleet operators, construction contractors, mining sites and agribusiness across Australia bring us specification, volume and delivery requirements directly, and we match qualified demand against the supply panel, including capacity originating from India (Jamnagar), South Korea, Singapore, and the UAE and wider Gulf.
You are not handing us a generic listing. You are getting matched against a brief that has already been qualified for volume, delivery geography and specification fit before your name is raised at all.
Demand, pre-qualified
Buyers come to us with volume, location and specification already defined, not a cold enquiry you have to qualify yourself.
Sector spread
Road transport, construction, mining and agriculture, each with different volume patterns and delivery demands.
Compliance handled upfront
Independent KYC and sanctions screening run before any introduction, on both sides of the deal.
One commercial conversation
You negotiate term sheet detail once a buyer is matched and cleared, not through repeated cold outreach.
What the NCNDA actually protects, clause by clause
A non-circumvention, non-disclosure agreement is signed before any buyer name, volume figure, or commercial term is shared with you, and before your details are shared with the buyer. It exists to remove the single biggest risk in wholesale fuel distribution: a counterparty using the introduction to deal around the introducer.
Non-circumvention
Once a buyer is introduced through Stratum, neither party may deal directly or through a third party to bypass that introduction for a defined protection period. If the buyer later wants to renew or expand the arrangement, that still routes through the original introduction.
Non-disclosure
Commercial terms, pricing, and buyer or supplier identity disclosed during the matching process cannot be shared outside the deal, including with other parties who might use it to undercut the introduction.
Defined protection period
The NCNDA specifies how long the non-circumvention obligation runs, typically covering the initial transaction and a defined renewal window, so the protection has a clear boundary rather than an indefinite, unenforceable claim.
Signed before disclosure, not after
This is the detail most distribution arrangements get wrong. The agreement is in place before any identifying detail moves, not retrofitted once a dispute has already started.
Access to a qualified Australian buyer pipeline
We are building Stratum's buyer pipeline directly with the operators who carry real diesel spend: fleet and linehaul transport, civil and construction contractors, mining and resources sites, and large-scale agriculture operations with seasonal but high-volume demand. Each enquiry comes in with the brief detail that determines fit, volume, delivery location, and current specification, before it is ever matched to a supplier.
As an early-stage desk, we are not going to claim a transaction history or named client roster we do not yet have. What you get instead is a documented matching process and a compliance posture that holds up regardless of how early or established the relationship is, which is the part that actually determines whether a deal closes cleanly.
Road transport
Linehaul and fleet operators with ongoing, high-frequency diesel consumption across distribution networks.
Construction
Project-based demand tied to build schedules and plant fleets under specification-sensitive warranties.
Mining & resources
Remote-site operators where supply continuity and documented compliance carry more weight than price alone.
Agriculture
Seasonal, high-volume demand around cropping and harvest cycles that most generalist suppliers price poorly.
How our commission is structured
This is the only page on the site where we set out fee mechanics in detail, because it is the only relationship where the commission is actually relevant to the commercial decision in front of you.
Paid by you, not the buyer
Our commission is paid by the supplier on a completed transaction. The buyer's invoice reflects the agreed supply price only, with no broker margin added on their side.
Calculated per transaction
Commission is agreed per deal based on volume and route, not charged as a flat retainer or an upfront listing fee. There is no cost to register your capacity with us.
Confirmed before introduction
The commission structure for a given deal is set out in writing in the NCNDA, before any buyer introduction is made, so there is no ambiguity once a term sheet is being negotiated.
Paid on completion means exactly that: invoicing follows confirmed delivery against the term sheet, not the signing of a non-binding indicative offer. If a matched buyer does not proceed past the term sheet stage, no commission is owed on that introduction.
