Coast is now the first corporate card to sync directly with BuildOps. The problem we’re solving together? Helping commercial contractors get accurate, up-to-date job costs. Too often, card expenses don’t show up until weeks later, when the monthly statement lands. That lag makes it difficult to see true profitability and slows down billing. With the new Coast + BuildOps integration, every purchase made on a Coast card flows directly into BuildOps, coded to the right job. The result: accurate job costing, faster billing, and a clearer picture of your profitability. We’re so proud to team up with BuildOps to help the trades work smarter and spend less time on paperwork. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/efkUhtrZ

Did you know: Fraudsters have "operating costs" just like any other business. And right now, AI is making those costs dangerously low. 📉 ⚠️🤖 Our Chief Risk Officer, Anurag Puranik, recently sat down with Ronan Burke at Inscribe AI to talk about how the fraud space has been evolving lately. As Anurag puts it, you don’t have to chase every bad actor on the internet. You just have to make it so expensive and time-consuming to attack that the "ROI" on the fraud falls apart. Put simply: If you leave the door unlocked, someone’s going to walk in. The solution is to make that door so heavy and the lock so complex that it’s simply not worth the effort. They dive into: 🔹 Why a "perfectly" written email or website is now a red flag 🔹How ChatGPT is helping fraudsters ace verification calls 🔹Why Coast focuses on "metadata" instead of just "looking" for Fraud signals If you’re trying to figure out how to protect your business from AI-driven fraud without treating your real customers like suspects, this is worth a listen! 🎧 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJcCqUtf

This is a familiar problem for a lot of teams: with older fleet cards, exporting fuel data is almost impossible, and requires hours of manual entry in QuickBooks or other accounting systems. In our recent webinar, Paul Gigante from ESCO Heating & Cooling explains how the backend work used to slow things down and what changed after switching to Coast.

Crazy how a two-minute walk can mean a 30¢+ difference in fuel prices. Coast lets you take control of that. Block stations that cost you money. Only allow the ones that don’t. Your routes, your rules. Check it out ⬇️

It’s sometimes hard to believe in the big numbers that vendors show you. So to make it more concrete, we asked our customers what happened when they switched to Coast. For some teams, it’s fuel. They tighten card controls, connect GPS, and suddenly they’re saving thousands a month because the gaps are obvious in real time. For others, it’s time. Less manual reconciliation. Fewer questions at the end of the month. Fewer hours spent chasing down transactions. This carousel pulls together a few customers who shared real numbers with us. How much they saved, and what changed once they had better visibility and control over spend. Check it out ⬇️
