Control, convenience, security and savings drive new fuel management programme from Pendragon Contracts

The new Shell fuelcards offer business fleets complete control through instant online information, the convenience of 3,300 UK locations, security against fraudulent activity and significant financial savings.

The financial savings are driven by the use of Shell's ‘Fuelsave' products and the additional benefit of paying a price linked to market rather than pump price. This means that drivers avoid unnecessary extra cost at more expensive locations such as motorway service stations.

Research demonstrates that the time to refuel at Shell stations versus the supermarket is considerably less, as there is little or no queuing, saving time and making them more convenient. A downloadable Shell App helps drivers quickly locate local Shell service stations on their mobiles.

Easy access online card management 24/7 provides fleet managers with customised and downloadable management reports ensuring transparency and enabling them to exert total control over the programme. Exception reports and alerts to misuse or fraudulent activity, for example if there's no odometer reading or non-fuel purchases are made etc, are also available. In addition, the system provides secure online invoicing and the opportunity to set different parameters for each fuel card.

Neal Francis, managing director of Pendragon Contracts, says: “The Shell fuel card scheme has been designed to make the fleet manager's experience as simple as possible enabling them to order cards, organise user groups and cancel cards in just a few seconds. The overriding benefits of Pendragon Contracts' fuel management programme are the control, convenience, security and considerable savings to be made by switching the whole fleet to the Shell card. It's excellent news for fleets.”
