About
Fuelshine is an AI-driven mileage tracking and fleet compliance solution built for businesses managing field teams, grey-fleet programs, and driver reimbursements. It eliminates manual spreadsheets and costly hardware by running silently on drivers' smartphones, automatically capturing every trip's start, stop, and route via GPS. The platform's AI engine validates each trip in real time — flagging weekend usage, after-hours activity, geofence violations, distance anomalies, and duplicate submissions — so managers spend less time on reviews and more time on results. Clean trips get one-click approval; flagged ones surface exactly why, reducing claim review time by up to 70%. Fuelshine produces audit-ready IRS ($0.70/mile) and CRA ($0.72/km) compliant reports with GPS-verified routes and auto-calculated reimbursements, compressing month-end processing from days to minutes. A live fleet dashboard updates every 3–8 seconds, displaying every driver's location, speed, safety score, and trip status on a single map. Drivers receive real-time audio coaching for harsh braking, speeding, and rapid acceleration, reducing dangerous driving events by up to 40%. Optional Smartcar OEM integration delivers verified odometer, fuel level, tire pressure, and engine diagnostics, cutting GPS drift and saving an average of $625 per vehicle per year in maintenance costs. Designed for pharmaceutical, FMCG, real estate, field service, and home healthcare teams, Fuelshine replaces five or more separate fleet tools with one platform. Setup takes under five minutes, and most teams are fully operational within 24 hours — no IT project required.
