McLeod adds Relay fuel payments
Relay Payments announced recently it is expanding its partnership with McLeod Software, a leading transportation management software.
Last year, McLeod integrated Relay’s lumper payments into its TMS; now, fleets can also integrate all fuel payments made using Relay into McLeod.
The newly certified fuel integration enables carriers and brokers to see all their Relay transactions in McLeod, leading to a simplified, more efficient process.
“McLeod Software customers appreciated the integration with Relay for lumper payments, so we’re excited to add fuel purchases to the experience now,” said Ahmed Ebrahim, vice president of Strategic Alliances at McLeod Software. “Joint customers of McLeod and Relay can easily manage all of their fleet’s Relay transactions directly in McLeod."
Since launching its fuel payments solution with the Pilot Company last year, Relay has quickly expanded its network by onboarding several new merchants, including Yesway, Maverik, and Onvo travel centers. Relay’s cardless payments are accepted at more than 1,600 truckstops, 2,400 CAT Scale locations, and nearly every grocery distribution center.
