Customer Case Study: Enhancing Fuel Card Operations

The fuel card industry faces significant challenges as fraud rates soar and traditional validation methods become increasingly inadequate. Innovative solutions like Axle and TruckX are essential to address these issues and remain competitive in a tech-driven market.

The Challenge

Card fraud increased by 700% in 2022 and continues to cause fleets to lose millions of dollars annually. As a result, fuel card providers must validate transactions and ensure that their services are utilized correctly. Traditional fuel transaction validation methods can be cumbersome and inefficient, often relying on manual verification or delayed data. Drivers must manually input odometer data or call dispatchers to request approval for fueling. Further, as impersonation and fraud increase, fuel cards must identify and underwrite fleets with surety that the fleet is who it says it is. Finally, as tech-enabled fuel cards like AtoB and Coast burst onto the scene, building new features to remain competitive is critical.

The Solution

A fuel card provider can transform operations by integrating TruckX's location data with Axle. Here’s how:

1. Transaction Validation

When a driver swipes a fuel card, the fuel card provider can instantly verify the truck's location using real-time data from TruckX, accessed via Axle. If the location matches a known fuel station, the transaction is validated promptly, reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions.

2. Easier Underwriting

With access to historical location data provided by TruckX through Axle, the fuel card provider can assess the fleet's behavior patterns and usage history. This comprehensive data allows for more accurate risk assessments and better underwriting decisions.

3. Pre-Emptive Low Fuel Warnings

Axle's platform enables the fuel card provider to continuously monitor fuel levels and location data. When a vehicle's fuel level is low, the system can automatically alert the driver, recommending nearby fuel stations. This proactive approach helps prevent fuel shortages and ensures smoother operations for the fleet.

A Partnership Driving the Future of Fleet Management

The partnership between Axle and TruckX is a game-changer for the logistics and transportation industry. By integrating TruckX's ELD data into Axle's universal platform, we provide fleet managers and service providers with the tools they need to optimize their operations. Whether it's validating fuel transactions, enhancing underwriting processes, or providing timely low-fuel warnings, the combined power of Axle and TruckX is driving the future of fleet management.
