Automating fuel reporting for pan-European logistics

Automating fuel reporting for pan-European logistics

Streamline fuel expense management across your entire fleet by automating transaction collection, invoice reconciliation, and reporting—reducing manual effort by 80% while ensuring complete accuracy and control.

A pan-European road transport and logistics provider operates more than 250 trucks across 15 countries, delivering goods for retail, manufacturing, and e-commerce customers. With a large monthly fuel budget spread across multiple drivers, vehicles, and fuelling locations, the organisation's finance teams face a significant challenge: they spend many hours manually collecting fuel transactions, matching invoices, validating purchases, and producing reports.

To address this operational burden, the business is seeking to automate fuel reporting and improve visibility into fuel spend. The goal is to achieve 80% less manual reporting effort, faster month-end reconciliation, improved invoice accuracy, and establish a single source of truth for fuel transactions. Our integrated solution leverages Shell Card Management APIs and Shell Data & Reporting APIs to deliver exactly this outcome.
