Fleet Management

Cut fuel costs and stop waste in its tracks.

Fuel Watch imports every fuel-card transaction and cross-references it against your vehicles' real movements — flagging waste and fraud, and giving you the data to drive costs down.

Fuel is one of the largest controllable costs in any fleet — yet most businesses have no systematic way to see where it is being wasted. Fuel Watch imports every transaction from your fuel cards and automatically cross-references each fill against Argus GPS data, flagging the anomalies that point to waste or fraud.

15%

Argus customers can achieve up to 15% fuel savings with combined telematics insights.

How it works

From fuel card to flagged in four steps.

Network-wide fuel data, checked against where your vehicles actually were.

Fuel card transactions import automatically

Fuel Watch connects to your fuel card provider and imports every transaction — date, location, volume, and cost — without any manual data entry.

GPS data cross-references every transaction

Each fuel transaction is automatically compared against the vehicle's GPS movement data at that time. Fills recorded when the vehicle was stationary, at an unexpected location, or in an unusually large volume are flagged for review.
