Brian Fournier, Americas senior vice president and general manager of fleet and mobility at WEX, discusses the company's approach to data-driven fleet fuel purchasing management. WEX's closed-loop network allows for the control and quality of data, which is crucial for informed decision-making and cost control.
The company differentiates itself by capturing rich transactional data that is integrated with telematics to provide comprehensive expense tracking and prevent misuse.
Fournier highlights the shift from driver-based to vehicle-based decision-making, driven by the energy transition and the rise of EVs, and emphasizes the importance of location and vehicle data in fuel management.
