Karen Stroup, WEX&#8217;s chief digital officer, suggests starting over and reimagining processes for maximum potential.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Holistic Approach<\/strong>: AI should be approached as a comprehensive treatment rather than solving isolated, immediate issues. Stroup advocates for a strategy that encompasses the whole operation and long-term benefits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Beyond Tokens and Features<\/strong>: Instead of measuring AI usage by prompt counts or token consumption, organizations should focus on outcomes like decision-making speed, product innovation, and customer satisfaction to determine real business value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Customer-Centric Solutions<\/strong>: AI should be integrated into everyday business operations to serve customer needs, reducing administrative burdens and providing embedded intelligence that supports decision-making\u2014seen in services like validating receipts in health and benefits, or analyzing fuel card data to catch anomalous behavior.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Intellectual Platforms for Fuel Cards<\/strong>: AI transforms traditional fuel cards into intelligence platforms that detect unusual behavior and provide actionable insights to managers, turning payment products into decision-support systems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Value of Experimentation<\/strong>: Stroup warns companies against waiting for AI to fully mature before experimenting. Early adoption and iterations help in developing a data-driven culture and workflow governance which yield organizational value even if individual projects don&#8217;t fully succeed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI Gives Fuel Cards a Smarter Job to Do https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/news\/artificial-intelligence\/2026\/ai-gives-fuel-cards-a-smarter-job-to-do\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-25 04:03:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":236859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEX-AI-SB-w-overlay.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-236858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236858"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236863,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236858\/revisions\/236863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
