The arrival of free-flow tolling and the management of your employees' personal journeys are no longer problems thanks to Fulli 

Fleet managers encounter a number of problems related to tolls, especially when it comes to personal and professional journeys.

• Separating business and personal expenses: The major challenge for fleet managers is to distinguish between business and personal journeys, especially when fleet vehicles are used for both business and private purposes. This raises the question of how to apportion toll charges between these two types of journey, as it is crucial for companies to be able to justify the costs associated with business travel for accounting and tax purposes.
   
• Tax and legal issues: Personal journeys made with a company vehicle may have tax implications, including benefits in kind for employees or reporting obligations for the company. Toll costs need to be properly taken into account to avoid errors in tax declarations and to ensure compliance with local and national regulations.
   
• Impact on the fleet budget: Tolling can have a significant impact on the fleet budget, especially if private journeys are frequent. Managers therefore need to optimize vehicle utilization to minimize these costs and maximize the efficiency of fleet spending.

In December, Fulli launched a new management solution for business customers with more than 50 electronic toll collection badges. The Fulli Pro/perso solution is an option that enables your employees to use a single badge for both their professional and personal journeys, with billing to the company's professional account or the employee's personal account, depending on the type of journey.

How are business and personal journeys divided up?

The fleet manager defines a timetable for his employees' work-related journeys. Let's imagine that an employee's schedule runs from Monday to Friday, and all journeys made during this period will be “work-related”. Any journeys outside this period would be “personal”. Each party will then be billed according to the breakdown of journeys made. The employee is billed for “personal” journeys, and the company for “business” journeys.

Since there are exceptions, such as vacations or varying working hours, either the company or the employee can reallocate journeys as “personal” or “business”. 
 

One of the main consequences of the arrival of free-flow for companies is the potential for employees to forget to pay the toll.

Without a toll tag, in a free-flow system, where the cost of the toll is automatically calculated. Employees have to log on and pay on the freeway company's website, so the risk of forgetting to pay is real. Such omissions can lead to fines for non-payment, as the flux-libre system registers the passage of the vehicle, and if payment is not made within a specified time, a fine is generated against the vehicle owner (in this case the company). 
 

The new flux-libre system therefore requires clear communication with employees on toll payment procedures when passing on a flux-libre freeway, as responsibilities linked to the use of fleet vehicles and changes concerning toll reimbursement can become very problematic...

In order to facilitate employee journeys, the solution lies in the electronic toll tag. No more hassle of dealing with employee forgetfulness, payment receipts and even possible payment notices from the freeway company. Fleet management with the free-flow system is child's play, thanks to the electronic toll tag. A single invoice to manage your entire fleet, reducing management time for you and eliminating expense claims for your employees.

In short, managing toll charges for personal and business journeys represents a complex challenge for fleet managers. The Fulli Pro/perso solution is an innovation that should enable them to solve this problem. What's more, while the arrival of free-flow in France will bring major efficiency gains, fleet managers will have to face up to the challenges of automated toll management.

Here too, thanks to Fulli's electronic toll tag, there will be no more problems managing free-flow freeway journeys, since all trips will be billed automatically on a single invoice once the freeway has been made free-flow.
