I see the site claims to save fuel, is this in the form of providing routing? I assume that patching data needs to get in to the autopilot system at some point, how does that work?

More predictable routes and minimizing encounters with CAT can indeed help reduce fuel consumption while maintaining safety. This is a relatively small saving for each flight which can add up to a big chunk at the end of the year.
