The information we collect at the point of sale includes the amount of the expenditure, the identification of the driver and vehicle, the odometer reading, the identity of the fuel or vehicle maintenance provider and the items purchased. This data is captured through our network, which consists of fuel and maintenance locations utilizing our proprietary software. Our network is one of the largest of its kind. Data collected through our network, together with our purchase controls, allows us to provide fleets with comprehensive information and analysis tools to effectively manage their vehicle fleets and control costs. Our customer service philosophy, which builds and actively manages strong relationships, further distinguishes us in our industry. In the simplest terms, Wright Express, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Wright Express Financial Services Corporation, is a leading provider of fleet and corporate charge cards. Flexible, pre-set cardholder limits and robust data capture from each card transaction provide users with valuable information to better manage corporate expenses. And the powerful back-end processing of those transactions helps streamline your entire process of tracking and paying for employee business expenses, be they for fuel, supply purchases or travel & entertainment. Issuers of the Wright Express card, on the other hand, can leverage that industry-leading technology and back-end administration for an extra stream of income ? without burdening the people or systems that make their organizations successful in their primary endeavors.
