Fuelman, Corpay’s fleet expense management solution, supports millions of drivers and businesses that rely on accurate billing across a large network of fuel stops. To ensure transactions are correctly matched, billed, and settled at scale, Corpay integrated Spade to support Fuelman’s resettlement workflows.
Impact at a glance
- Improved accuracy of transaction matching across Fuelman’s fuel stop network
- Reduced billing errors, disputes, and manual resettlement work
- Supported a more reliable customer experience for fleets operating at scale
The Opportunity
Corpay serves businesses with complex fleet and fuel management needs, where accurate billing depends on correctly matching transactions to specific fuel stops, locations, and pricing rules.
Fuelman is used by more than 2.5 million drivers, creating a high-volume environment where even small mismatches between transaction data and Fuelman’s network can result in billing errors, customer disputes, and manual intervention. To operate efficiently at this scale, Corpay needed a way to reliably match incoming transactions to the correct fuel stop, without relying on brittle logic or manual cleanup.
Before Spade
Like many fleet platforms, Fuelman initially relied on standard transaction data from card networks and processors. Merchant descriptors were often inconsistent, location data could be incomplete, and the same fuel stop might appear under multiple names. These inconsistencies made accurate attribution difficult. Transactions frequently required manual review to determine whether they matched a known fuel stop in Fuelman’s network, increasing operational effort and slowing billing workflows.
With Spade
Corpay integrated Spade to ingest Fuelman’s fuel stop network alongside transaction data and apply real-time enrichment and matching. This improved the accuracy of resettlement by ensuring transactions were billed correctly the first time. By automating the matching process, Corpay reduced the need for manual reconciliation, lowered dispute volume, and improved confidence in Fuelman’s billing and reporting.
Applications beyond Corpay
Corpay’s experience highlights a broader lesson for fleet and expense platforms: accurate billing starts with accurate attribution. When transactions can be reliably matched to known merchant networks, platforms can reduce disputes, streamline settlement, and scale without relying on manual processes.
