ATLANTA, Ga. and SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Relay Payments and Platform Science are announcing a new integration that brings Relay’s fueling and payment solutions to the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace and directly into fleets’ in-cab ecosystem.
“Relay is focused on removing friction from the driver experience while giving fleets greater visibility and control over their operations,” said Ryan Droege, CEO, Relay. “By integrating directly with Platform Science, we’re making it easier than ever for fleets to deploy secure, modern payment solutions that drivers actually want to use.”
Platform Science joins 300+ TMS, ELD and other third-party systems that integrate with Relay, extending Relay’s ecosystem across the tools fleets already use every day.
Key Features
Key benefits of the Relay and Platform Science integration include:
- Seamless Setup: Fleets can deploy the Relay app directly to Platform Science tablets through the Virtual Vehicle marketplace, enabling drivers to log in using Platform Science Single Sign-On (SSO). This eliminates the need for multiple logins and simplifies onboarding, giving drivers fast, frictionless access to Relay’s digital payment capabilities from the cab.
- Real-Time Fleet Visibility: Fleets benefit from real-time synchronization of driver and vehicle data, including truck numbers and odometer readings, creating a single, up-to-date view of fleet activity across systems.
- Stronger Fraud Prevention: Relay Pulse is a powerful fraud prevention solution designed to help carriers combat first-party fuel fraud. It verifies key data points before authorizing fuel transactions, helping fleets reduce risk and maintain tighter control over fuel spend.
Flexibility to Choose
“Platform Science is committed to giving fleets the flexibility to choose the tools and solutions that best fit their operations,” said Emilie Campbell, vice president of Marketplace, Platform Science. “Through our integration with Relay Payments, fleets gain secure, seamless digital payment capabilities that reduce fraud risk, streamline transactions, and improve efficiency on the road.”
Mutual customer Cheema Freightlines LLC is excited about the initial results, strengthening controls for fuel spend and fraud protection.
“Fuel is one of our largest expenses, and fraud has always been a concern for our industry,” said Harman Cheema, CEO, Cheema. “With Relay and Platform Science now integrated, our 400+ drivers have a much simpler experience, and Relay Pulse gives us confidence that every transaction is verified against real-time data. It’s been a meaningful step forward for both efficiency and security.”
“Relay’s platform is used by more than 500,000 drivers and carriers across a network of 3,000+ fueling locations nationwide, offering broad acceptance and 24/7 U.S.-based support at no additional cost,” Relay said. “The integration is now available to Platform Science customers through the Virtual Vehicle Marketplace.”
