Fuel is 35–40% of a fleet's operating cost, and every gallon that lands in the fleet ledger by manual entry is a reconciliation line item that nobody has time to do properly. Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software solves this by connecting directly to your WEX, Comdata, or EFS account and pulling every transaction — driver, unit, gallons, price, odometer, station, timestamp — the moment the pump handle goes back on. Fraud gets caught in hours instead of weeks, cost-per-mile becomes a live number tied to the same unit record that drives PM, and IFTA quarter-end takes an afternoon instead of a week. Start free and connect your fuel card in one workflow.

Every Gallon in Truck Inspection & Maintenance Automatically — No Reconciliation, No Manual Entry

The three biggest US fleet fuel card networks all publish transaction APIs, but the value only lands when those transactions merge with the same unit record that carries the DVIRs, PMs, and defects. Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software pulls WEX, Comdata, and EFS records natively, matches each transaction to a unit and driver, updates cost-per-mile in real time, runs fraud rules on every fill, and hands your IFTA report a jurisdiction-tagged data set at quarter-end.

The Three Networks TIM Connects to Natively

Almost every North American commercial fleet fuel card belongs to one of three networks — WEX (widest network), Comdata (large-fleet oriented, Shell-branded), and EFS (WEX's over-the-road brand). Each publishes a transaction API, and Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software supports all three out of the box. Below is what each brings and how TIM handles it.

WEX Fleet Card Broadest network · industry standard
180,000+US stations · 95% coverage
Rebate Up to 3¢/gal standard, higher on volume
TIM cadence Near real-time · REST API polling
Fits Fleets of any size — small to enterprise
Comdata Card Large-fleet oriented · Shell network
14,000+Shell stations · premium pricing
Rebate Up to 6¢/gal Shell-specific
TIM cadence Daily batch · SFTP + REST options
Fits Mid to large fleets committed to Shell
EFS (WEX OTR) Over-the-road linehaul · truck stops
Truck stopsTA, Petro, Pilot, Loves · OTR focus
Rebate Volume-tier pricing on diesel
TIM cadence Near real-time via WEX API
Fits OTR & long-haul carriers
Why the integration matters more than the card Every card in this class already prevents unauthorized purchases at the pump. What separates a good fuel program from a great one is what happens with the data after the receipt prints — sitting in a card-portal export nobody opens, or landing inside Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software tied to a unit and driver within minutes. The card is table stakes; the TIM integration is the leverage.

What a Fuel Card Transaction Actually Carries — What TIM Pulls

Every fuel card transaction is a structured record, not just an amount. When the driver swipes, enters a PIN, keys in the odometer, and starts the pump, the point-of-sale sends a full data packet to the card provider's clearing system — and Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software pulls that packet through the API. Below is what a single transaction contains, and what TIM does with each field.

The TIM Integration Flow — From Pump Handle to Fleet Ledger

The mechanics from swipe to TIM ledger update are a four-stage flow that runs invisibly once configured. Every stage is something Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software handles automatically — miss any one and the fleet is back to CSV exports and Monday-morning spreadsheet reconciliation.

STAGE 01
Pump & POS Driver swipes card, enters PIN + odometer. POS sends full transaction packet to the WEX / Comdata / EFS clearing system.

STAGE 02
Provider clearing Card network validates, applies rebate, posts to the fleet's provider account. Transaction becomes API-fetchable within minutes.

STAGE 03
TIM pulls the record TIM polls the provider API on a schedule (typically every 15 min). New transactions land tagged to the unit and driver automatically.

STAGE 04
Rules + reports fire TIM fraud rules fire, cost-per-mile updates live, IFTA tags accumulate, PM triggers advance on the odometer change.

Three Providers · One TIM Integration Layer · Zero Manual Entry

Truck Inspection & Maintenance Management Software connects natively to WEX, Comdata, and EFS. Every transaction lands tagged to the right unit and driver, cost-per-mile updates on the fly, and the fraud rule engine flags off-hours, off-route, or product-mismatch purchases before you close the day. IFTA jurisdiction data accumulates in TIM in the background — ready to export at quarter-end.

What the TIM Integration Actually Unlocks — Four Workflows That Change

The API layer is invisible plumbing — what matters is what changes for the fleet team once TIM is running the fuel data. Four workflows shift from monthly manual work to automatic real-time output.

$
Live cost-per-mile

Every fuel transaction plus every odometer reading feeds CPM inside TIM within minutes. The dashboard number reflects yesterday's fills, not last month's.

⚠
Real-time fraud flags

Off-hours fills, off-route stations, product mismatches, gallons over tank capacity — all fire in TIM the moment the transaction posts, not on a monthly audit weeks later.

◔
Automatic IFTA prep

Every transaction carries a station-state tag inside TIM. Quarter-end IFTA export is a click, not a week of spreadsheet reconciliation across driver logs and receipts.

◈
Odometer-driven PM

The odometer entered at the pump feeds TIM PM triggers directly. Oil-change and DPF intervals advance on real mileage, no separate meter update needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a developer to set up the TIM integration?
No — TIM uses the card provider's published API with pre-built credentials you request from WEX, Comdata, or EFS. Setup is typically a same-day exercise once the provider issues API access. Start free and request provider credentials.
How quickly do transactions appear in TIM?
On WEX and EFS, typically within 15 minutes of the pump. Comdata runs a daily batch by default; near-real-time is available on request. TIM fraud rules fire the moment transactions land. Contact us to see the polling cadence.
Can TIM handle more than one card provider at once?
Yes — many fleets run WEX on-highway and EFS for OTR truck stops, or Comdata for Shell-committed lanes. TIM normalizes fields across providers so the fleet ledger is one dataset regardless of card. Start free and add multiple providers.
What about bulk-tank or private-station fills?
Those enter TIM as manual or scale-fed records alongside the card feed — same unit ledger, same MPG math. The integration sits alongside bulk-tank tracking rather than replacing it. Contact support to see the combined view.
