Telogis And FleetCor Announce Global Partnership

Telematics company Telogis, Inc. and fuel card management company FleetCor Technologies, Inc. announced on May 23 a global partnership for the integration of telematics and fuel card reporting that promises to assist in bringing greater visibility to a business' fueling activities, improve reporting, and help reduce unauthorized fuel card use with the ultimate goal of driving down total fuel expense. The partnership includes the introduction of the company's Universal Premium Fleet Card, along with the launch of the next-generation fuel management module for Telogis Fleet.

The fleet card provides fleets with a universal fuel card using a network recognized around the globe. When matched with the company's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) fleet management software, the system matches vehicle location to fuel card transaction data to help ensure the fuel card is being used properly (verifying that the vehicle was near the pump when the card was being used, not exceeding pumping limits, etc.). It also centralizes fuel transaction reporting instead of having to deal with logs and receipts.

"This next-generation fuel module is leading the way in fuel management through its accuracy, scalability, and universal approach to fleets around the world," said Jason Koch, President, Telogis Fleet. "It allows operations managers and executives to minimize costs related to fuel use and reduce their carbon footprint by leveraging the power of (our) platform to seamlessly combine real-time location intelligence with fuel transaction data."
