In partnership with Wright Express, includes comprehensive fuel reports fully integrated with online GPS fleet tracking system
SAN DIEGO--Networkfleet, a leader in wireless fleet management, today announced the availability
of the Networkfleet Fuel and Service Card with integrated fuel card
reporting. In partnership with Wright
Express, the leading provider of fleet cards, the Networkfleet Fuel
Card tracks precise information on all fuel purchases and includes
comprehensive monthly and year-to-date reporting to help fleets control
costs and improve vehicle efficiency.
“By integrating Networkfleet wireless fleet management with fuel
purchase reporting, fleet managers are able to collect concrete data and
implement changes that will have a major impact on reducing fuel
expenses. Networkfleet is delighted to expand our relationship with
Wright Express to offer this new capability”
The Networkfleet Fuel and Service Card is accepted at 160,000 fuel and
45,000 service locations nationwide; anywhere Wright Express is
accepted. Compatible with Networkfleet’s GPS
fleet tracking system, the new fuel card offers more control over
fuel expenses by providing detailed reporting, including cost-per-mile
and miles-per-gallon analyses. By taking advantage of the fuel card’s
purchase alerts and controls, fleet managers can keep a close watch on
their companies’ bottom line and easily enforce purchasing policies.
The new fuel card also integrates with reports already offered by
Networkfleet in conjunction with Wright Express that customers are using
to identify fraudulent transactions and better manage fuel
expenses. The Fuel Guard Report lets users compare the location/time
the fuel was purchased with the vehicle location/time to determine if
the proper vehicle was being fueled or if there was a potential fraud
event. The Fuel Card Transactions Report allows the user to see all fuel
transactions during a specific period of time as well as details
regarding those transactions, including location, gallons, and total
cost.
“By integrating Networkfleet wireless fleet management with fuel
purchase reporting, fleet managers are able to collect concrete data and
implement changes that will have a major impact on reducing fuel
expenses. Networkfleet is delighted to expand our relationship with
Wright Express to offer this new capability,” said Keith Schneider,
president and CEO of Networkfleet. “The new fuel cards provide the
ultimate in security and control while being easy to use and widely
accepted by service stations.”
“We are excited to work with Networkfleet to offer a universal card
program to their customers,” said David D. Maxsimic, Wright Express EVP,
sales, marketing & product. “The pairing of their best–in-class
telematics offering and our fleet card program offers our customers
unparalleled reporting and management services. We are confident that
the program, including integrated fuel and telematics reporting, will
serve our respective businesses very well.”
