How ValveRide Flow Works

The fuel optimization
platform that
actually works.

From the moment your dispatcher hits send, ValveRide Flow is calculating routes, scoring fuel stops, applying your contract rates, and delivering a ready-to-use plan — all before the driver backs out of the yard.

Optimization Engine v3.6

Transparent by design.
Explainable to your CFO.

No black boxes. No "trust the algorithm." Every recommendation Flow makes follows a fully auditable scoring formula — one you can walk through line by line with your finance team, your operations director, or your board.

Every fuel plan includes a plain-English explanation: why this stop, why this many gallons, what your savings are, and what drove the decision.

Real commercial truck routes — actual road restrictions, not straight lines
Multi-stop optimization — fuel plans with up to 6+ stops, all scored together
Your contract discount rates, applied per station automatically
IFTA tax-adjusted net price across all 48 contiguous states — surfaced as line-item savings
Hard restrict or soft preference — choose vendors per fleet, with auto-fallback
Interstate compliance mode — large truck stops preferred
Vendor priority scoring — favor your preferred networks
Weight-sensitivity — conservative fueling for heavy loads
Live fuel levels from ELD when integrated
Plain-English explanation with every recommendation

Driver Compliance

Plans that get followed.
Because they offer a choice.

Most fuel optimization tools send the driver one stop and call it a plan. Drivers who disagree just fuel somewhere else -- and your contract rates never get applied. Compliance falls apart not because drivers are uncooperative, but because the plan left no room for real-world conditions.

Flow sends every driver a mobile-friendly plan link at go.valverideflow.com with a best stop plus a ranked list of approved alternates -- all scored by the same engine, all within your contract network. The fleet gets cost optimization. The driver gets flexibility. Pricing data is never exposed to the driver. Compliance goes up because the plan works with how drivers actually operate.

Best stop selected and clearly labeled -- no guesswork for the driver
Approved alternates ranked and displayed -- all within your discount network
Every option scored for price, detour distance, and parking capacity
Dispatcher sees the same plan -- full visibility regardless of which stop is chosen
Compliance tracked against any approved stop, not just the top recommendation

Flow Portal

A real command center.
Not a dashboard afterthought.

Built for every person in your organization who touches fuel — from the CFO reviewing monthly savings to the dispatcher checking that morning's plans.

📊
Dashboard

Savings totals, compliance scores, fleet activity, and recent fuel plans — all at a glance the moment you log in.

🗺️
Fuel Plans

Every generated plan with full stop detail, pricing breakdown, and the plain-English explanation behind each recommendation.

Compliance

Transactions from WEX, Comdata, EFS, FleetOne, and Relay matched to recommendations. Compliance scored per driver, per trip — automatically once your transaction data is flowing.

🚛

💰
Fuel Discounts

Your negotiated rates and vendor priority rules — applied automatically to every recommendation, every time.

🛡️
Anomaly Watch

Seven detectors running on every transaction: overfill, impossible-distance, double-swipe, after-hours, repeat-station bias, sudden discount-pattern shift, off-trip pattern.

📈
Analytics

Monthly savings trends, driver leaderboards, missed savings by route, engine prediction accuracy, and savings source attribution.

👥
Users & Roles

Role-based access for CFOs, operations teams, dispatchers, and read-only stakeholders.

Two Ways to Integrate

Self-serve on Growth.
Automated on Enterprise.

Both tiers run the same engine and surface the same analytics. The difference is how your data gets in. On Growth, your team uploads fuel card and dispatch data manually — engine runs immediately. On Enterprise, we build automated direct integrations and maintain them for you.

Growth: Manual upload
WEX, Comdata, EFS, FleetOne, Pilot, Loves, Relay — drop the daily file in your dashboard.
Growth: Generic webhook
Any TMS that can POST a normalized JSON dispatch — Samsara, Motive, Omnitracs ELDs via webhook.
Enterprise: Direct feeds
Approved-vendor integrations with Comdata, EFS, Relay, WEX, FleetOne, OTR, Pilot, and Love's — provisioned and maintained by us.
Enterprise: Custom adapters
McLeod, in-house TMS, anything that doesn't fit the generic webhook spec.
Enterprise: In-cab push
Samsara Messages, Motive Messages, Omnitracs Messages — fuel plans delivered to the in-cab device.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Dispatch fires
Your TMS posts a webhook, your dispatcher fills the manual form, or you forward the dispatch email — Flow accepts all three.
2
Plan generated
Flow calculates the route, scores every fuel stop, and applies your contract rates in under 2 seconds.
3
Plan delivered
Plan appears in your portal. Drivers receive a mobile-friendly link by email or SMS, or via in-cab push on Enterprise.
4
Compliance tracked
Fuel card transactions are matched against the recommendation. Per-driver compliance scoring, anomaly detection, and reconciliation surface every day.

First fuel plan on the
first dispatch.

Most fleets are live within hours on Growth. Enterprise scoping is a 30-minute call to scope the integrations you need and how we'll build them.
