In Puerto Rico, diesel fuel is a key input for many industries. However, traditional fuel expense management often leads to a lack of control, complex administrative processes, and little visibility into actual consumption per vehicle or driver.
American Petroleum’s diesel card for businesses was created to address these challenges. More than just a means of payment, it functions as a management tool that helps companies control, optimize, and monitor diesel consumption in a practical and secure way.
How American Petroleum’s diesel card for businesses works
The corporate fleet card is designed to be easily integrated into the company’s daily operations and facilitate more orderly and secure fuel management.
The process begins with the application for the corporate diesel card, in which the company’s profile and fleet size are evaluated. Once approved, cards are assigned, which can be linked to specific vehicles or authorized drivers, depending on the operational structure.
Fuel refills are carried out at the American Gasoline network of stations around the island, allowing you to operate within a unified system. At each refill, the system generates an automatic record with information such as date, time, station, volume, and associated unit.
All this information is consolidated into centralized reports, facilitating internal control, consumption monitoring, and fuel expenditure analysis.
Types of companies to whom we offer diesel cards
The diesel card for companies is designed for organizations that require clear and structured fuel consumption management.
It is an ideal solution for transportation and logistics companies, where diesel represents one of the main operating costs and control by vehicle or route is essential. It is also useful for technical service fleets, such as electricity, telecommunications, or maintenance, which operate multiple units on a daily basis.
It also benefits companies with commercial or delivery vehicles, allowing them to monitor consumption per unit, and public institutions or corporations that manage official vehicles and must comply with internal control and audit policies.
Advantages of using a diesel card for corporate companies
Implementing a corporate diesel card brings concrete benefits at both the operational and administrative levels:
- Control of fuel expenditure. Each transaction is recorded by vehicle or driver, allowing consumption patterns to be identified, variations to be detected, and decisions to be made based on clear information.
- Savings in operating costs. The card provides access to preferential conditions within the station network, helping to reduce the impact of fuel on the monthly budget.
- Greater security in fuel use. Operating within a controlled system reduces the risk of unauthorized or non-compliant use.
- Simpler administrative management. It centralizes consumption information in a single system, reducing the handling of receipts, reimbursements, and manual reconciliations.
Differences between diesel cards and other payment methods
The payment method chosen for a fleet’s fuel directly influences the level of control and administrative order:
- Cash payment. It offers no traceability or centralized control, making it difficult to track consumption per unit.
- Traditional bank cards. They allow you to pay for fuel, but do not provide detailed reports by vehicle or driver, nor do they facilitate the application of internal rules.
- Corporate diesel card. It integrates control, reporting, security, and savings into a single system designed for fleets, offering greater visibility and financial order.
Additional benefits for companies with fleets
In addition to the basic operational advantages, the diesel card offers features that improve fuel management.
It allows integration with consumption control systems, facilitating historical analysis and operational planning.
It also allows limits to be set, such as schedules, locations, or maximum amounts per transaction, aligning fuel use with internal company policies.
These controls facilitate internal audits and support compliance with corporate standards and procedures.
