For organizations like Southwind and Congruex, visibility into fleet operations is critical to keeping teams aligned and work moving smoothly. Southwind, a growing franchise operator with more than 400 vehicles, was dealing with rising fuel costs in addition to fraud concerns. The team wanted a clearer view of fleet spending and a way to guide smarter purchasing without adding extra administrative work.

And Congruex, a national construction and telecom provider, faced similar challenges on a larger scale. Rapid expansion had made fleet spending difficult to standardize across its 1,400-vehicle fleet and heavy equipment operations. 

Both businesses needed real-time visibility into spending to protect themselves from fraud risk and understand where dollars were being lost.

Proven results across industries

To gain clearer visibility into fuel spend, Southwind introduced Motive Spend Management, adopting Motive Card across its fleet. The shift helped the company:

  • Cut unauthorized fuel spend by 20%.
  • Save thousands annually through the Motive Discount Partners Network.
  • Access real-time transaction data to guide smarter fuel purchasing.

When Congruex adopted Motive Spend Management, they were looking for a way to unify fuel oversight across the organization. With a more consistent, consolidated view of fueling activity, Congruex:

  • Reduced unauthorized fuel purchases by 20%.
  • Lowered overall fuel costs by 10% within 5 months.
  • Simplified IFTA reporting with accurate on-road vs. off-road fuel allocation, saving hours each week.

“With Motive’s mobile-based unlock, we’ve seen a 20% reduction in unauthorized fuel transactions over 12 months,” noted Jeff Bozo, director of fleet at Congruex.

Motive gives finance leaders complete visibility and control

Motive is the only platform that combines Fleet Management and Spend Management, giving finance teams complete control of their fleet-related spend. With Spend Management and Motive Card, organizations gain access to:

  • AI-powered fraud detection that automatically flags suspicious activity, such as fuel-level mismatches or location discrepancies.
  • Spend controls that allow teams to set daily or weekly limits, restrict purchases by merchant category, or require mobile unlock for transactions.
  • The Motive Savings Network which connects fleets to more than 35,000 partner locations with guaranteed fuel and maintenance discounts.

Take control of your fleet spend

Together, Southwind and Congruex show how Motive Spend Management transforms spend oversight from a reactive process to a proactive strategy — stopping fraud, saving dollars, cutting costs, and freeing up time to focus on growth.
