Synchronising mobility budgets across multiple platforms

Synchronising mobility budgets across multiple platforms

Automatically reconcile employee mobility allowances across fuel, parking, taxi, and other services, ensuring fuel card limits remain accurate and up to date without manual intervention.

Large enterprises offering mobility allowances to employees face a significant challenge: when employees spend part of their budget on services such as taxis or parking, the remaining allowance for fuel purchases must be updated accordingly. Without integration, budget reconciliation becomes manual, leading to overspending, inaccurate balances, and administrative overhead.

By integrating with Shell APIs, organisations can maintain a single mobility budget across multiple transportation services whilst automatically adjusting fuel card limits based on transactions occurring outside the Shell ecosystem. This ensures employees always have accurate spending power for fuel purchases, aligned with their remaining monthly allowance.

Solve your core challenges with Shell APIs

Eliminate manual budget reconciliation

Automatically synchronise fuel card limits with external mobility transactions, removing the need for manual updates and reducing administrative burden across your finance and fleet teams.

Prevent overspending and budget errors

Ensure fuel card limits accurately reflect remaining mobility allowances in real time, eliminating overspending risks and maintaining precise budget control across all employee transportation services.

Maintain centralised spending control

Provide employees with spending flexibility across multiple mobility services whilst retaining full oversight and control through automated limit adjustments that keep allowances aligned across platforms.
