Fleet FAQ? Fuel Management

Q. What should I know now to best prepare my fleet for the connected future?

A. The latest fleet management solutions will take advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide fleet operators a wide range of benefits over the lifetime of their vehicles. These could include seamless payments, reduced fuel spend, driving analytics, preventive maintenance and, at the far end, autonomous vehicles. But this shift means businesses must have a data management strategy before implementing solutions.


To make the most of your investment, focus on the metrics you want to measure to address your most pressing operational issues. Then, think about which insights make sense to improve safety, reduce risks, streamline operations and elevate your bottom line. Once you have a data management strategy in place that meets your key goals, that’s where a consultant like WEX can help refine and define it for you.


ClearView offers actionable insights into fueling and purchasing behavior, with data served visually and even voice-activated via Alexa so you can understand easily. With WEX Telematics, you can track vehicle location, speed, fuel use, idling, driver performance and more. DriverDash lets you make fuel payments securely from inside your vehicle. Just a few examples.
