Benefits of Real-time Fleet Card Monitoring

Real-time transaction data from fleet cards helps transform how businesses manage vehicle-related expenses. This information can lead to increased efficiency, control and savings for businesses that rely heavily on their fleets. From logistics to construction, many companies, whether they have small or large fleets, use fuel cards to help streamline transactions, track usage and enforce spending limits. ExxonMobil fleet fuel cards help offer businesses the tools to monitor their fleet operations in real time, delivering actionable insights that can help reduce costs and enhance performance.

Aligning purchase controls with fuel spending policies is an effective way to enforce these policies, helping lead to greater driver accountability and reduced inefficiencies.

Unlocking Operational Efficiency with Real-time Fuel Card Data

Fleet managers face pressure to control expenses while maximizing productivity. Real-time monitoring helps address this challenge by providing granular, up-to-the-minute data on every fuel purchase. With ExxonMobil’s fleet card program, managers can track where, when and how much drivers spend, promoting instant course corrections and better budgeting. Every time a driver makes a purchase using a fleet card, transaction details are captured and recorded in a fleet card dashboard. Information includes:

  • Date and time of purchase
  • Location of purchase
  • Transaction total
  • Fuel volume
  • Fuel grade (regular vs. premium)
  • Fuel type (gasoline vs. diesel)
  • Driver ID
  • Odometer readings

Dashboards and mobile apps provide managers with easy access to detailed reports on fuel usage, vehicle performance, and driver behavior. The ability to set limits and create alerts for unusual transactions helps enhance security and reduces the risk of fraud.

Enhancing Fuel Purchase Control and Limiting Inefficiencies

Real-time tracking empowers fleet managers to enforce tight control over fuel purchases. With customizable spending limits by card or driver, businesses can help ensure compliance with internal policies while preventing overuse or misuse of cards. Fueling can be restricted by dollar amount, fuel type, fuel volume, time of day, days of the week or even specific locations, offering complete oversight.
Aligning purchase controls with fuel spending policies is an effective way to help enforce these policies, leading to greater driver accountability and reduced inefficiencies.

Helping reduce Fraud and Misuse through Alerts and PIN Verification

Fuel card misuse can drain company funds, but ExxonMobil’s real-time monitoring tools help reduce that risk. Every card transaction is protected by PIN verification, helping prevent unauthorized use. Real-time alerts notify managers immediately if spending exceeds pre-set thresholds or if a card is used outside of permitted times or locations.

By enabling geofencing and landmarking features, through telematics services (available at an extra cost), businesses can receive instant alerts when vehicles enter or exit designated zones. This proactive oversight helps prevent route deviation and unauthorized detours, protecting both assets and schedules.

Driving Down Costs through Smarter Fuel Spending

With rising fuel prices impacting businesses nationwide, ExxonMobil fuel cards offer a strategic solution. With the Exxon Mobil BusinessPro card, companies can earn up to 6¢ per gallon in rebates at almost 12,000 Exxon and Mobil branded stations, making every fuel stop more cost-effective. Additionally, real-time data helps identify the most fuel-efficient routes and optimize trip planning, helping further driving down fuel costs* and potentially leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Telematics integration allows for deeper insights into fuel economy, driver behavior and vehicle maintenance needs. With access to past and present usage data, businesses can help identify trends and implement changes that yield long-term savings.

Strengthening Driver Accountability and Performance

A fleet driver fuels his vehicle during a stop on his route using his fuel card.

Fleet card monitoring also fosters a culture of accountability. When drivers know their fuel use and driving behavior are being tracked, they are more likely to follow company policies and safety guidelines—this promotes better driving habits, fewer accidents and lower insurance premiums.

Data collected from telematics and fuel cards can be used to create driver scorecards or coaching programs. Recognizing and rewarding top performers while providing training to those who need improvement helps improve fleet safety and morale.

ExxonMobil fleet cards help deliver the performance, insight and flexibility that today’s fleet managers demand.

Simplifying Administration with Automated Reporting and Invoicing

Managing fuel expenses for a fleet — whether it’s 5 or 500 vehicles — can overwhelm traditional systems. ExxonMobil fleet cards offer automated reporting features that simplify invoicing, fuel accounting and recordkeeping. Administrators can access real-time purchase data, historical trends and customized reports that can be automatically delivered to their inbox.

Online dashboards centralize this information for quick reviews and decision-making. This consolidation helps to reduce paperwork, accelerates reconciliation and supports accurate billing, especially for businesses that charge clients based on time or mileage.

Supporting Fleets of all Sizes with Scalable Solutions

Whether you operate a local delivery service or a nationwide trucking company, ExxonMobil’s fleet fuel card options — Exxon Mobil BusinessPro and Exxon Mobil FleetPro — offer scalable solutions for any size fleet. FleetPro cards cater specifically to diesel-driven and mixed fleets, while the Exxon Mobil BusinessPro card serves businesses seeking universal access with acceptance at 95% of U.S. gas stations.

Both programs provide access to almost 12,000 Exxon and Mobil branded stations, and the Exxon Mobil FleetPro card can be used at an additional 800+ commercial fueling sites.

Boosting Convenience and Visibility through Mobile Tools

ExxonMobil supports a full suite of digital tools, including a mobile app enabling drivers to locate the nearest fuel stations, access custom pricing and make contactless payments at the pump. These mobile solutions help enhance driver convenience while maintaining managerial oversight of every purchase.

Managers can view driver activity on the go, approve transactions in real time and make adjustments to controls or limits as business needs evolve. The integration of mobile technology helps ensure that fuel card monitoring doesn’t stop when you leave the office.

A More Efficient way to Manage a Fleet

With real-time fleet card monitoring, businesses gain the tools they need to help manage fuel expenses, enforce spending limits, improve driver behavior and secure their operations. The benefits are clear: reduced fraud, increased savings, better decision-making and a more efficient fleet.*
