WEX is purpose-built for managing fuel. Its fleet cards offer rebates of up to 15¢ per gallon within its savings network, driver- and vehicle-level controls, and specialized fuel-tax reporting. For fleets focused primarily on controlling fuel consumption, those tools can be valuable.
The limitation is scope. WEX Fleet Card is designed exclusively for fuel and vehicle expenses. Logistics companies still need another system for checking, broader company spend, vendor payments, accounting, and accounts receivable.
Here are some areas where WEX can be limiting:
- WEX rewards are concentrated around fuel and its partner network. Slash offers up to 2% cash back across eligible operating spend, including fuel and non-fleet purchases.
- Accounting centers on fuel reports and exports. Slash automatically categorizes transactions, applies ledger codes and ERP tags, and syncs spend across the business.
- WEX controls only what drivers buy at the pump. Slash extends controls to every type of company spend, with virtual cards and card groups for dispatch, maintenance, lodging, software, and each operating entity.
Slash is the broader financial platform for logistics companies that want to manage fuel alongside the rest of their operations.
