Pros

“The core platform is strong, and I think continued improvements in APIs, third-party integrations, route automation, and interoperability could make it even more valuable for businesses like ours that operate dynamic delivery and rental fleets.”

Phillip F.

CTO

“I use it in nearly every facet of my job, whether covering the data analytics, keeping track of our assets, communicating with drivers, or pulling video for training or insurance claims.”

Travis F.

Office Admin

“It has given us a much better foundation for managing fleet visibility, GPS tracking, routing, dispatch, and driver operations from a centralized platform.”

Phillip F.

CTO

Pros

“It's more convenient for our employees, it saves the office several hours every month, and we have a much clearer view of our fuel spending without manually creating fuel reports or chasing down receipts.”

Todd H.

Fleet Manager

“It gives us greater visibility into fuel purchases, helps reduce unauthorized or unnecessary expenses, and makes it easier to manage drivers and vehicles while still giving them the flexibility they need on the road”

RICK K.

Chief Operating Officer

“Expense tracking, expenses per vehicle, customization, individual permissions, vastly reduced fees compared to our previous card, and receipt and memo capture by the users.”

Bonnie C.

Business Operations Specialist

Cons

“TICKET turn around time is a HUGE issue for me. When I open a ticket, I am in need of a QUICK resolution b/c the majority of the time, the issues is affecting my drivers logs and they can't drive until it's corrected or fixed.”

Leanne K.

Admin Trainer Hours of Service Logs

“I don't like the battery life on the AG-51 asset tracker when it comes to unpowered fleet assets that are on the road for extended periods of time as the batteries would die and would cause us to lose tracking on assets until batteries could be replaced.”

Glenn L.

National Asset Manager

“Lack of speed tracking on detailed overview. When you drill down to the exact location of the truck and can watch it driving you cannot see the speed they are traveling.”

Randy B.

Safety Manager

Cons

“There's often minor hangups with drivers not entering card's last 3 digits correctly to activate them but as the admin I have identified that 99.9% of the problems are employees not following the guidelines for card activation.”

Carlos B.

CEO

“There have been communication outages in the Coast fuel system that prevent our drivers from fueling up because they cannot get the confirmation text.”

Barry C.

Special Projects Manager

“We have also experienced a cell tower outage due to storms and this means that the guys in the field were unable to use their cards because there was no wifi in that area”
