The fuel card feature, which is compatible with all fuel card providers, allows customers to upload their fuel card data and integrate information within existing areas of TRACKER Fleet. The feature also offers functionality to match where fuel transactions take place, against miles driven, enabling fleet managers to monitor fraudulent use and help ensure that the fuel card is being used to fill the right vehicle.

‘We have launched Fuel Card Integration with TRACKER Fleet in direct response to customer feedback, as we continue to enhance our fleet telematics offering,’ said Stephen Doran, managing director for TRACKER.

‘The biggest issue it overcomes for fleet managers is ensuring the fuel used is correct per journey because it measures against the GPS mileage recording, which provides the most accurate reporting on costs. Just relying on manufacturer MPG recordings against an odometer reading, is never going to give the most precise reading. And with fraud costing businesses dearly if it goes undetected, its ability to identify inappropriate use will be vital in driving down costs.

‘At a time when fuel costs are right at the top of the fleet manager’s agenda, our Fuel Card Integration feature brings our customers another level of control over their fleet costs,’ concluded Doran.
