New Comdata Integration



From within Aljex, you can now issue express checks, express cash, or issue virtual credit cards.

First, the Comdata interface has 4 main functions

1) Express cash –
standard Comchecks – from within aljex, you put in that you want to give 300 to a driver. It contacts Comdata, and reports back the comcheck # within a few seconds.

2) Add funds to a com-card
Standard comcard for drivers, you can add funds to him for advances or finals.

3) Issue a virtual credit card - I LOVE THIS CONCEPT.
You can issue a credit card number to a driver and it’s good for a certain amount and you can make it where its only good for certain things. It’s a ‘real’ credit card number, with expiration date and cvc #. So, for instance, if the driver needs repair money, you can give him a credit card # that is ONLY good for repair bills, and only good up until the expiration date that you choose.

4) Requiring the driver to give his active pro# to purchase fuel.
With this feature, when the driver fuels up, comdata’s system queries our system and verifies that the driver has been assigned to the pro# he gave, and that the driver hasn’t already been advanced more than the maximum for that load. This also gives you a list of all of your fuel purchases and price per gallon and you can easily see which of your drivers is buying the most expensive fuel.

All of these options work with the accounting system so as you advance a driver, it automatically comes off the settlement.

There are a number of control options.

A user permission to add an advance.
A maximum amount a person can advance
A maximum percentage a person can advance

A supervisor privlige that allows users only put in advance requests, and a supervisor will get an email notification, and be able to view and approve advances. Only when its approved by the supervisor is the advance issued.






When you click to issue a check, the API (Application Programming Interface) instantly connects to Comdata, authorizes the transaction, and reports back the authorization or virtual card number. It also updates the system. The instant it’s added, the amount is also deducted from the driver’s settlement. The record keeping is done for you saving valuable time.
