Case Study: Greenlane.ai
Accelerating Innovation Through Partnership
In 2024, Greenlane.ai and QuikQ joined forces to modernize how truck drivers pay for diesel fuel across America’s highways. The collaboration brought together Greenlane’s next-generation digital wallet platform with QuikQ’s established payment network and direct-connect fuel authorization technology. This union unlocked a new level of speed, security and transparency for fleets, drivers and merchants.
The Problem: Solving for Legacy Fuel Systems
For decades, the trucking industry has relied on legacy fuel card systems with limited visibility, outdated tech stacks and painful onboarding experiences. Greenlane set out to change that. But to do it right, the platform needed deep integration with existing payment infrastructure. That’s where QuikQ came in. Known for their reliability and industry reach, QuikQ’s processing rails became the foundation for a seamless, secure link between Greenlane’s digital wallet and thousands of merchant locations nationwide.
The Solution: Building a Better Bridge
From the start, this was a partnership. Led by Rich Taute, VP of Sales & Strategy at QuikQ, both teams rolled up their sleeves and worked shoulder-to-shoulder on API design, transaction testing and real-time settlement logic. Together, they built a bridge between Greenlane’s tokenized wallet system and QuikQ’s robust point-of-sale integrations, creating a fully interoperable payment flow that didn’t just work, but worked better than anything that came before.
Joint engineering sprints focused on:
- Real-time transaction authorization and settlement
- Secure cardless payment initiation using Greenlane’s “Secure Code” technology
- Streamlined onboarding for merchants and fleets
- End-to-end visibility and reporting for every transaction
The Result: A Better Fueling Experience for Drivers and Merchants
The result is a smarter, faster and safer fueling experience for drivers and merchants alike. Transactions process instantly. Fraud risk is dramatically reduced. Merchant settlements occur daily with full transparency. And best of all, the collaboration gives Greenlane and QuikQ merchants a powerful way to engage their customers directly inside the Greenlane ecosystem through loyalty programs, rewards, and brand-driven offers.
What started as an integration project evolved into a true partnership in innovation. It's proof that when two forward-thinking teams align around a shared vision, the road ahead gets a whole lot smoother.
"Working with Rich and the QuikQ team was like putting a turbocharger on our roadmap," said Evan Pohaski, CEO, Greenlane.ai. "Their openness, precision, and deep industry expertise helped us bring the next generation of payments to life."
