Optimising fuel oversight for European logistics fleets

Optimising fuel oversight for European logistics fleets

Enable real-time visibility and control over fuel card transactions across a multi-country fleet to reduce fraud, eliminate manual reporting, and improve cost control.

Logistics operators managing large fleets across multiple countries face significant challenges in controlling fuel expenses. With drivers and vehicles distributed across borders, organisations struggle to identify fuel card misuse, suspicious transactions, and inefficient vehicle usage. Manual reporting processes consume valuable time, while lack of real-time visibility delays the detection of fraudulent activity.

Our solutions provide the business with comprehensive fuel card management and transaction reporting capabilities, delivering the visibility and control needed to protect against losses, streamline operations, and optimise fleet performance.

Solve your core challenges with Shell APIs

Real-time fraud detection and prevention

Instantly identify suspicious transactions and fuel card misuse across your entire fleet. Set automated controls including volume limits, product restrictions, and day/time rules to prevent unauthorised spending before it occurs.

Automated reporting and reconciliation

Eliminate time-consuming manual processes by integrating fuel card data directly into your systems. Automated transaction feeds and invoice retrieval reduce administrative burden and enable faster, more accurate financial reconciliation.

Enhanced cost control and visibility

Gain complete oversight of fuel consumption across drivers, vehicles, and locations. Analyse spending patterns, monitor fuel efficiency, and identify cost-saving opportunities with detailed transaction data and comprehensive reporting.
