How the Energie Fuel Card Can Help Prevent Fraud

Fuel fraud is a real and rising threat in today’s fleet operations, quietly chipping away at profits and efficiency. But the good news is that there are smart ways to fight back. And one of the easiest tools to implement is the Energie Fuel Card. Whether you have 5 sedans or 100 big rigs, the Energie Fuel Card helps you stay ahead of the problem.

 

Real-Time Transaction Controls

With the Energie Fuel Card, every transaction is logged in real time and viewable with an online, cloud-based portal accessible with your computer or smartphone. You can set gallon limits per transaction and per day, week, or month, restrict fuel types, and even customize allowed hours and days of use. That means if someone tries to fuel up a personal vehicle at midnight or buy snacks instead of diesel, you’ll know instantly with an Exception Alert sent to an email or as a text.

 

Driver ID Requirements

One of the easiest ways for fuel fraud to sneak in is when Driver IDs are shared loosely among authorized users or worse, when someone outside the company gets access. The Energie Fuel Card adds a layer of security by requiring unique driver IDs for each transaction and user. That means only authorized personnel can make purchases, and each gallon can be traced back to a specific driver.

 

Detailed Reporting That Shares Inconsistent Fueling Patterns

Sometimes the fraud isn’t obvious. A driver consistently filling up more gallons than their tank can hold? A second fill-up during the same shift miles apart from their route? The Energie Fuel Card is backed with a secure algorithm that highlight unusual patterns and outliers. The algorithm reviews every transaction to learn driving patterns to help spot any inconsistencies. And when you start seeing the data clearly, you can act fast before one unauthorized transaction turns into major losses.

 

Integration With Your Fleet’s Workflow

Energie Fuel isn’t trying to add another tech headache to your stack. Our card integrates easily with your existing fleet management systems like Fleetio, Samsara, and more, whether you’re tracking mileage, job logs, or maintenance records. That means less manual work and fewer chances for errors and another tool to help you manage your fleet.
