Build a fleet portal

Managing a charging fleet across multiple drivers, vehicles, and countries can quickly become complex. With the Fleet API, companies can build their own fleet portal tailored to their processes, brand, and business model—while leveraging Corpay’s powerful platform and Plugsurfing’s charging network in the background. This article outlines how the Fleet API can be used to create a custom fleet management solution. ^{Concept of how your fleet portal can look like}

​

What Is a Fleet Portal?

A fleet portal is a web-based interface where fleet managers can oversee and manage all aspects of their charging operations. This typically includes:

• Ordering and managing charging cards
• Managing fleet accounts and sub-fleets
• Monitoring activity and transactions
• Analyzing usage and costs

Instead of using a standard off-the-shelf tool, companies can use the Fleet API to integrate these capabilities directly into their own systems or build a standalone, branded portal.

​

Order and Manage Charging Cards

With the Fleet API, companies can:

• Order new charging cards for drivers
• Assign cards to specific users or vehicles
• Block, unblock, replace, or cancel cards

This allows full lifecycle management of charging keys within a company’s internal processes. For example, when a new employee joins, a card can be ordered directly from the portal using Fleet API in the background. If a driver leaves the company, the card can be blocked with a single action.

​

Manage Accounts and Fleet Structure

Many fleets operate in multiple countries or manage different customer accounts. Fleet API supports account structures that reflect real-world fleet setups. A company can create and manage fleet accounts (e.g., per country or business unit) and organize drivers and cards accordingly. This makes it possible to:

• Separate fleets by region or client
• Assign cards to specific fleet entities
• Maintain a clear structure as the fleet grows

The portal build on Fleet API can become the central control hub for all fleet-related charging activities.

​

Access and Analyze Transaction Data

A key part of fleet management is understanding usage and costs. Through the Fleet API, companies can access detailed transaction data, including:

• Charging sessions per card or vehicle
• Time, location, and energy consumed
• Cost-related information

This data can be displayed directly in the fleet portal or exported into internal reporting tools. Fleet managers can use it to:

• Monitor charging behavior
• Identify cost drivers
• Optimize charging policies

By combining transaction data with internal business data, companies can gain valuable insights into their fleet operations.

Why Build Your Own Portal?

Building a fleet portal with the Fleet API offers several advantages:

• Full control over user experience and branding
• Integration into existing IT systems or fleet management software
• Flexibility to adapt to specific fleet requirements
• Scalability across markets and customer segments

Fleet API provides the building blocks. Companies decide how to package them into a solution that fits their business model.
