The Fuel Fraud Problem

Where's your fuel really going?

That contractor filling up twice daily? The van using 50% more fuel than identical vehicles? Weekend purchases at odd locations? Without proper tracking, you're an easy target for fuel fraud.

Real-Time Fraud Alerts

Instant notifications for suspicious activity. Multiple fills per day, weekend purchases, wrong vehicle types. Catch fraud as it happens, not weeks later.

Mileage vs Fuel Analysis

AI compares miles driven to fuel purchased. Spots impossible consumption rates instantly. No more filling personal vehicles on company cards.

Location Verification

Match fuel purchases to vehicle locations. Van in Manchester can't fill up in London. GPS tracking meets fuel data for bulletproof fraud prevention.

Driver Scorecards

Track MPG by driver, route, vehicle. Identify fuel wasters and champions. Use data to improve driving habits and reward efficiency.

Multi-Card Support

Works with all major fuel cards - Shell, BP, Esso, Texaco. Consolidated reporting across providers. One dashboard for all fuel spending.

Automated Reporting

Weekly summaries, monthly trends, exception reports. See patterns, spot problems, track improvements. Data that drives better decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fuel cards do you support?

All major providers - Shell, BP, Esso, Texaco, Keyfuels, UK Fuels, and more. If it's a business fuel card, we can track it. Multiple cards per vehicle supported too.

How quickly can we see fraud?

Real-time. Transactions appear within minutes. Fraud alerts trigger instantly based on your rules. Most depots catch their first fraud within 48 hours of setup.

Will honest drivers be offended?

Good drivers love it - proves they're honest, rewards efficiency. Only the dodgy ones complain. Most see it as protection against false accusations.

Can we set different rules for different drivers?

Complete Expense Control

Beyond Just Fuel Tracking

Fuel management works best as part of complete expense control:

  • Vehicle tracking integration - Match fuel to actual routes
  • Maintenance correlation - Poor MPG flags mechanical issues
  • Driver behaviour scoring - Link fuel use to driving style
  • Invoice automation - Charge contractors accurately

Combine with vehicle tracking for complete oversight, or add predictive maintenance to spot fuel-wasting mechanical issues.
