Relay Payments Launches ELD Integration to Prevent First-Party Fuel Fraud

Relay Payments launched Relay Pulse, an interactive solution leveraging a strong integration with a carrier’s electronic logging device (ELD) to prevent fraud by giving carriers greater visibility and control over driver fueling.

"Fuel fraud costs carriers millions each year, yet most solutions leave too many gaps in visibility and control," says Ryan Droege, CEO of Relay Payments. "First-party fuel fraud is often an afterthought, and when fleets do try to solve for it, they’re stuck with time-consuming manual processes that only catch fraud after a driver has successfully stolen fuel. Relay Pulse changes that by giving carriers real-time control over when their drivers fuel and how much they can purchase."

Key takeaways:

·        Relay Pulse integrates directly with ELDs to automate fraud prevention, eliminate manual processes and reduce operational risk.

·        Relay Pulse stops fraudulent transactions before they happen.

·        Key features include automatic enforcement of fuel tank thresholds to block unauthorized transactions and prevent excessive fueling; confirmation that the fuel tank increased after fueling; truck Location verification to block fueling attempts when drivers are not near their truck; real-time driver and vehicle syncing to ensure drivers are assigned to the correct truck, keeping fueling records accurate; and automated onboarding and offboarding of drivers between Relay and your ELD system to maintain up-to-date permissions.
