TELUS and Fillip Fleet Partner to Transform Fleet Management with Visa-Powered Connected Vehicle and Payment Solutions
Innovative IoT collaboration delivers real-time insights, smarter spending controls, and enhanced operational efficiency for fleets across Canada VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2025 /CNW/ - TELUS, a world-leading technology company, has partnered with Fillip Fleet, an innovator in digital fleet payments to launch a next-generation fleet management solution in Canada, providing Canadian businesses with powerful tools to manage their fleets more efficiently and cost-effectively. Bringing together TELUS' Connected Fleet, Telematics & Assets technology alongside Fillip's payment platform powered by Visa*, a world leader in digital payments, this new partnership addresses a significant market need, as Canada has 2.8 million fleet vehicles which collectively generate $53 billion annually, with 80 per cent being fuel spend.¹ Fillip Fleet is a digital-first universal fleet card, accepted at almost all 11,000+ fueling service stations across Canada, making it a versatile choice for fleet operators. "This solution is about solving real-world challenges with smart, secure technology," said Heather Tulk, President, Commercial and Public Sector at TELUS. "We're transforming how fleets operate - so our customers can save time, reduce spend, and improve control. With up to 10 hours saved each month on bookkeeping and 5-10% in annual cost savings²." As the exclusive telecommunications partner for Fillip Fleet, a Canadian-owned and operated company based in Calgary, TELUS is first to market with this advanced digital expense management platform. Fleet managers can access TELUS' real-time fleet management capabilities and Fillip Fleet's digital payment technology, providing comprehensive visibility and control over both vehicles and expenses through their respective platforms. Drivers can pay for fuel and expenses using their phones through Fillip's platform, taking advantage of Canada's widespread acceptance of contactless payments at fuel pumps. Managers can set spending limits and track purchases in real time. The system also helps prevent fraud by matching vehicle locations with purchase locations, and helps save money through route planning and access to fuel discounts at partner stations. TELUS' Connected Fleet & Telematics solutions give businesses real-time insights into vehicle performance, maintenance needs, and driver safety. Fillip Fleet's digital payment system offers smart fuel management tools such as automatic odometer readings and fuel transaction tracking, complementing TELUS' connected vehicle solutions. This solution delivers operational efficiency, cost optimization and fleet management capabilities propelled by advanced data insights. "By offering TELUS' connected vehicle solutions alongside our Visa-powered digital payments, we're providing businesses with powerful tools that deliver the data, control, and flexibility they need to manage their fleets more effectively," said Alice Reimer, CEO of Fillip Fleet. "This modernizes fleet management, providing real-time expense tracking, customizable spending limits, and streamlined processes for fuel purchases and maintenance scheduling."
