Free mobile app provides critical information
to drivers and fleet managers during Hurricane Matthew
WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), a global provider of industry-leading
corporate payments solutions, today announced a reminder that its
mobile app, WEX Connect (Android, iPhone, iPad), is
available to help drivers and fleet managers find fuel and service
stations that are in operation in their area surrounding Hurricane
Matthew.
Based on national forecasts, Hurricane Matthew will impact parts
of eastern Florida and other parts of the Southeast coast starting
Thursday, Oct. 6, and continuing through the weekend. Areas of
Florida will likely be severely impacted as well as portions of
Georgia and the Carolinas. Major effects could include damaging
winds, storm surge coastal flooding, battering waves and beach
erosion.
WEX Connect assists drivers and fleet managers in the Southeast
region in finding fuel and service stations in operation in their
area through a convenient mobile app available on Android, iPhone
and iPad devices. With WEX Connect, drivers and managers can find
the most cost-effective type of fuel they need and search for
service stations based on brand, distance and service type.
“Hurricane Matthew is expected to impact the Florida East Coast
starting tonight. As a Category 4 hurricane, the effects will
likely be destructive and devastating. During this time, we want to
caution all drivers and fleet managers to keep their safety top of
mind,” said Bernie Kavanagh, senior vice president and general
manager for North American fleet for WEX. “Those with a smartphone
can download the free WEX Connect app to have access to the latest
information on fuel and service stations operating in their
area.”
WEX Connect obtains its data from WEX’s proprietary fuel
management network, which connects thousands of fuel and service
stations across the United States and delivers up-to-date station
information. Leveraging the pricing data from the fuel purchases
made by WEX fleet card users, the app is able to calculate the most
fiscally efficient fuel station factoring in both price and
distance.
