Virši
Smart mobility, energy and loyalty in one app
The core functionality of the Virši mobile app covers convenient, fast fuel payments at the pump, loyalty card benefits and home electricity management. Users can not only make secure transactions, but also find inspiration for new routes through the built-in guide to Latvia and receive the latest Virši offers.
About the client
Virši is a fast-growing local energy retailer and one of the largest petrol station networks in Latvia. The company is deliberately transforming from a classic fuel retailer into a modern sustainable energy and mobility platform, offering services for both transport and the home.
The Mitigate team built a modern, scalable mobile app and a robust backend system that brings everyday petrol station services, digital loyalty, household electricity management and guide-to-Latvia content together into a single, seamless user experience.
Challenge
The biggest challenge of the project was providing stable and secure integration with a wide range of third-party systems.
In real time, the app had to connect:
- Petrol station point-of-sale (POS) systems and fuel pump logic;
- Complex loyalty programmes and databases;
- External banking and payment processing services;
To solve this, Mitigate built a powerful middleware layer. It acts as an efficient, secure and fast intermediary between the mobile app and the many external systems, insulating the app from their complexity and guaranteeing high performance.
Key functionality
01
Remote refuelling and instant payments
Users can pay for fuel right at the pump instead of queuing in the shop. With bank cards and company fuel cards integrated, the customer simply authorises with a QR code, fills up and drives on.
02
Digital loyalty programme and personalised offers
The app fully replaces the physical loyalty card. Customers receive personalised “Viršu labumi” rewards and tailored discounts on shop goods or fuel, calculated automatically at the moment of the transaction.
03
Transaction history and e-receipts
Users get full visibility of their spending — a detailed transaction history is available in the app. A summary and the official receipt are sent automatically to the user’s registered email address.
04
Station finder and intelligent filtering
An interactive map where users can search Virši stations by specific filters (EV charging, fuel type, services). Integrated navigation makes it possible to plan a route to the chosen station.
05
Energy for the home
A convenient way to manage a home electricity contract — track actual consumption, monitor market prices and pay bills in a matter of seconds.
06
“Viršu ceļvedis” guide
A content innovation — an integrated map of Latvia with unique, lesser-known destinations and local artisans and producers (“darītāji”), inspiring new trips.
Support tools and administration
Alongside the app and the middleware, a dedicated admin panel was built — an essential aid for the Virši customer support team.
Request and error logs
An overview of all user system requests and error logs.
Faster error tracing
Speeds up and simplifies finding and fixing the causes of errors.
Effective customer support
Fast response to customer issues, delivering the highest level of service.
Result
Working together with the Virši team, we have created a stable, convincing and future-oriented ecosystem. It not only streamlines the company’s business processes and the complexity of its integrations, but also gives every Latvian driver and household a genuinely modern, fast and useful tool.
A single ecosystem
mobility + energy + loyalty
