No. Fuelshine reads your vehicle's existing OEM connection — FordPass, Uconnect, or Mercedes Me — so there's nothing to install and no dongle on the dashboard. Setup takes about 5 minutes per vehicle.

Every fuel purchase is checked against three things: was the vehicle actually at that location, does the fuel-level change on the tank match the litres on the receipt, and does the timestamp line up. If all three agree, the receipt clears itself automatically. If one doesn't, it's flagged for review — not the technician, the receipt.

Yes. The CRA treats personal driving in a company-owned vehicle as a taxable benefit that has to be reported on the employee's T4 — commuting, errands, and take-home use all count. Fuelshine builds that documentation trail automatically, so the record exists if the CRA ever asks for it.

Both, but they're never combined into one number. The confirmed floor is time — admin and driver hours no longer spent manually reconciling receipts, calculated from your fleet size and labor rate against an industry benchmark. Fuel savings from verified spend are shown separately, as an estimated range, because that number depends on your specific fleet.

Yes. Fuelshine cross-checks receipts from the fuel card you already use — including WEX and Coast. It doesn't replace your card program, it verifies what's already coming through it.

Fuelshine is built on SOC 2–ready infrastructure with PIPEDA-aligned data handling, so fleet and location data stays within the compliance requirements Canadian employers are already held to.

Compare each fuel card charge with what the van itself recorded at that time: where it was, how much its tank went up, and its odometer reading. If a charge shows 60 litres bought but the van's fuel level barely changed, or the van was across town when the card was swiped, that charge needs a look. Doing this by hand across a month of statements is slow. Fuelshine does the matching automatically, works with any fuel card, and you can try it with a free 60-second audit.

Most newer vans already report their own location, fuel level and odometer through the manufacturer's connected-car system. A tool can read that data with the owner's permission, so there is nothing to wire into the vehicle. It then checks every fuel card charge against it and flags the ones that don't match, such as fuel bought when the van wasn't there, or more fuel than the tank could take. Fuelshine works this way. It depends on the vehicle being supported, so it's worth checking your vans first.

Do three checks on every receipt: was the van at that station at that time, did its fuel level go up by about the amount on the receipt, and does the odometer fit its normal driving? A receipt that fails any of these is worth asking the driver about. With a few vans you can do this from statements and a spreadsheet, but it gets tedious past a handful of vehicles. Fuelshine runs the three checks on each charge and gives you a short list of the ones to review.
