If you aren’t utilizing a comprehensive fuel card solution, your employees aren’t as happy as they could be. Okay, don’t get us wrong, we aren’t implying you are a bad employer or aren’t good at motivating your people, we’re just saying that everyone in your organization must do a little extra work because you aren’t using a fleet fuel card like ours. Think about everyone up and down the logistical supply chain.
When it comes to employing an innovative option, there is one simple fact: it saves your organization time and money. Yet, the oft-overlooked reason to use a fuel card for your fleet lies in how much happier your employees and other office workers will be because you have just unburdened them with countless hassles and lost time. You are operating in a marketplace that is as competitive as ever. Keep your employees and board happy, no matter your company’s size. Let’s look at each part of your organization.
Making back-office transactions easier
As one example, your back-office may be plowing through receipts and correlating paperwork rather than focusing on important accounting measures or other duties outside of counting receipt after receipt after receipt. Another aspect of back-office hassles is related to invoicing. Not only do your people have little-to-no desire to try to keep track of all the receipts, they will be much happier when they can track a single invoice.
Your back-office will also find much to love in your company’s newfound ability to keep the tax man happy. If you are a small trucking company, you should be able to claim 20% on your value-added tax (VAT) for business fuel. VAT receipts are especially important for this very reason. You do not want your drivers losing these receipts, as they will save you big on taxes. We provide HMRC-approved VAT receipts that provide you with the peace of mind you need to know you are saving money and increasing your bottom line.
Truck drivers find peace of mind in a comprehensive fuel card solution
A comprehensive fleet fuel card solution allows for quick and easy use. They work like a credit card, you just pop it in, type in your PIN and fuel up. There is an inherent risk with truck drivers carrying company cash on the road. Beyond that, having an open credit card might wind up being used for things other than fuel, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Truck drivers also benefit from loyalty programs, so when fuel is purchased from a major supermarket, truck drivers can accrue points that go towards their own purchases. These kinds of partnerships provide your employees or subcontractors with an additional benefit with little overhead cost on your part.
Operations are managed easier with a fleet fuel card solution
Your fleet manager will be very happy that he or she can quickly and easily manage their fuel card program. Generally, you will have access to a client portal that allows you to log in and access an online account. This way you can manage your driver’s fuel card program remotely. You can even provide different levels of access depending on who is using the system.
Companies are always on the quest to increase efficiency, and fuel card programs provide them with the ability to step into the present technological age and make the most of their time. When employees are completing their jobs in a manner that leaves out excessive paperwork and lost time, everyone benefits.
