Fuel Card Solutions
Streamlined Integration with Geotab
BlueArrow Telematics recognized a critical challenge faced by fleets of all sizes: the management of fuel consumption and gas cards. Fuel is often the second-largest expense for fleets, following labor costs, and fleet managers dedicate significant time reviewing gas card and GPS data to uncover potential fuel theft. Studies reveal that fuel theft can account for up to 10% of a company’s fuel expenses, creating a major financial burden. While some fuel card providers offer GPS integration, many customers report inaccuracies in the data and difficulty in analysis, rendering the information less useful. To address this, BlueArrow Fuel has developed one of the most intuitive, precise, and efficient fuel card integration systems in the industry.
How It Operates
Accurate fuel data integration
BlueArrow Fuel works by combining information from both a GPS tracking system and a fuel card provider, similar to other fuel integration platforms. What sets BlueArrow apart is its strong emphasis on data accuracy. Many traditional solutions generate false alerts, which reduces the value of fuel monitoring. To solve this, BlueArrow uses advanced, custom-built algorithms that automatically eliminate incorrect matches caused by mismatched timestamps or inaccurate fuel level readings. In addition, the system allows users to manually adjust fuel station GPS locations when an address points to the wrong spot. Once corrected, this update applies to all historical and future transactions linked to that location, helping prevent unnecessary flags and ensuring consistent, reliable reporting.
Smart, Automatic
Fuel Alerts
Real-time misuse detection & notification
Managers receive automatic email notifications when potential fuel card misuse or theft is detected. By cross-referencing transaction data from fuel card providers with GPS location data, the system verifies whether the vehicle was physically present at the fuel station during the purchase. It also confirms that the fuel volume purchased aligns with the vehicle’s capacity, helping ensure fuel is actually dispensed into the correct vehicle.
Any transaction identified as suspicious is clearly highlighted in a user-friendly dashboard and immediately flagged via email alert. In addition, managers can customize a variety of alerts and reports based on their operational needs. Summary reports can be scheduled and automatically distributed to designated team members, making fuel oversight simple and efficient.
Flexible Integrations Network
Works with major fuel cards
BlueArrow supports seamless integration with a wide range of fuel card providers, including Fleetcor brands such as Comdata and FuelMan, WEX programs like EFS, FleetOne, and white-labeled station cards, as well as Voyager, MS Fuel Cards, Petro-Canada, Flyers Energy, and Merchants fuel cards. The platform is also designed to easily connect with additional fuel card providers as needed. In addition, BlueArrow integrates with numerous on-site fueling services, expanding visibility across diverse fueling environments. With a global network of resellers, local fuel card programs are continuously being added, with many new integrations planned. Resellers who choose to white-label the application benefit from custom branding options, including personalized color themes, company logos, a dedicated subdomain, and automated reports sent directly from their own branded email address.
Automated IFTA Reporting
Accurate fuel tax data
BlueArrow Fuel automatically syncs fuel transaction data directly into Geotab, enhancing standard IFTA reporting by incorporating detailed fuel purchase and consumption information for each state. Through integration with IFTA Plus, a Geotab Marketplace partner, fleets can generate IFTA reports automatically by combining Geotab GPS mileage data with fuel transactions captured by BlueArrow. A key advantage of this integration is the ability to reassign fuel purchases to the correct vehicle when a fuel card is mistakenly used on the wrong unit. When paired with IFTA Plus, this functionality helps fleets produce accurate, audit-ready IFTA reports with minimal manual effort.
Refueling Time Loss
Reduce fuel stop waste
BlueArrow Fuel Cards help fleets identify how much time vehicles spend at fueling locations while also tracking fuel levels during each fill. Fleet data shows that unnecessary or frequent fuel stops can quietly drive up operating costs. Extended fueling time increases labor expenses, accelerates vehicle wear, and pulls drivers off their intended routes. When multiple drivers are delayed at the pump, those lost minutes quickly add up. By improving visibility into refueling behavior, fleets can reduce wasted time, control costs, and keep vehicles moving efficiently.

What is fuel card integration with Geotab?
Fuel card integration connects your fleet’s fuel card data with Geotab telematics. It matches fuel transactions (from cards like Fleetcor or WEX) to vehicle GPS, driver, and mileage data stored in Geotab to give you a complete picture of fueling activity.
Why is this integration useful for fleet management?
It helps you monitor fuel spending, detect misuse or fraud, improve fuel economy, and produce better reporting, all from one dashboard.
Which fuel cards work with Geotab fuel card integration?
Popular providers include Fleetcor brands (like Comdata, FuelMan), WEX/EFS, Voyager, Petro-Canada, and others, and more can be added depending on provider support.
Does the integration support multiple fuel card accounts?
Yes, some solutions support multiple fuel card providers and accounts under one fleet, tracking transactions across all of them.
How does Geotab match fuel transactions to vehicles?
The system cross-references timestamped fuel card transactions with vehicle GPS location and driver logs to ensure each fuel purchase corresponds to a vehicle on site.
What kind of fuel analytics are available?
You can analyze cost per litre/gallon, fuel transactions over time, fuel use vs. fuel purchased, fuel economy trends, and suspicious activity patterns.
Can the integration detect fuel card misuse or theft?
Yes, by comparing transaction data to location and odometer data, the system can highlight transactions that look unusual or out of place.
Will I get alerts for suspicious transactions?
Many implementations can send email or in platform alerts when potential fraud or irregular activity occurs.
How does fuel card integration help with IFTA reporting?
When fuel transaction data is combined with mileage data in Geotab, you can enhance standard IFTA reports by including accurate fuel purchase information, simplifying fuel tax reporting. Read more about Geotab IFTA Report Automation.
Can the fuel card data be exported for accounting?
Yes. Most integrations allow exports for reconciliation, auditing, and bookkeeping in standard formats.
Does integration help reduce manual data entry?
Absolutely, fuel card transactions are automatically imported and matched without needing manual spreadsheets.
What do I need to get started?
You’ll need:
- A compatible fuel card provider account
- Geotab telematics set up (MyGeotab)
- A fuel card integration solution installed or added via Geotab Marketplace or a third-party provider.
Does it cost extra?
Fuel card integration may require additional software or subscription fees depending on the provider you choose.
How long does setup take?
Once accounts and permissions are configured, it generally takes a few hours to a few days for initial setup and testing.
How are fuel cards connected to Geotab automatically?
Some fuel card providers offer server to server data feeds that automatically push transactions into Geotab or an integrated dashboard.
Why isn’t every fuel purchase matching a vehicle?
Transactions might not match if the GPS signal was weak, the card was used outside of vehicle range, or timestamps didn’t align.
What if a driver fuels the wrong vehicle?
Some systems allow you to reassign transactions manually to the correct vehicle for accurate reporting.
Can I customize alerts & reports?
Yes, most systems allow configuration of custom thresholds, alert triggers, and scheduled reports.
How accurate is the fuel usage data?
When GPS data, odometer readings, and fuel transactions are synchronized properly, accuracy is significantly higher than manual entries, though exact metrics depend on denticity of data and card provider.
