TWEET THIS: Ryder launches new Fuel Receipt app for its commercial
rental customers in North America. Available for Apple and Android
devices.
“Ryder is continuously looking for ways to create and deliver the best
commercial Rental process for our customers in the United States and
Canada as they rely on us to keep their businesses running,” said Ryder
Vice President & Global Product Manager for Rental Operations, Rich
Mohr. “We are committed to continually enhance the Ryder Rental
experience, and always strive to make it as easy as possible for
customers to rent a truck from Ryder.”
Ryder’s new app is available to Ryder Commercial Rental customers and is
Apple (IOS)
and Android
compatible. With the new app, customers can use their mobile device to
simply capture an image of their non-Ryder fuel receipt, add a few
details about the fuel purchase location, price, and then submit the
information to Ryder by the click of a button. Ryder will then match the
fuel on required interstate fuel tax reporting and store the fuel
purchase history in the Ryder Fuel Receipt app for up to four years.
“The launch of our new Ryder Fuel Receipt app furthers our commitment to
innovation and the environment, as we receive up to 25,000 individual
fuel receipts a month from our customers and this new technology will
now reduce the amount of paper used during the fuel tax reporting
process,” said Ryder Chief Information Officer, Melvin Kirk. “Ryder is
committed to setting the industry standard for IT-led business
innovation that optimizes its customer experience while also
accelerating performance and reducing costs.”
This technology investment follows Ryder’s recent launch of its new
paperless Rental process mobile tablet app for quicker rental check-in
and check-out and its new rental maintenance mobile tablet app for
faster repairs. Ryder rental facilities also feature digital displays
that show safety videos and other information that helps customers
better understand the special requirements for operating today’s more
technologically-advanced commercial vehicles.
