Coast
Together, Coast + Simpro give your finance and operations teams the tools to speed up billing, accurately measure job profitability, and streamline accounting processes.
Description
Coast is the spend management platform for businesses that run in the field and office — fiel service businesses, trades companies, and contractors. Coast's cards and software give businesses one place to see and control every dollar moving through their business: fuel, job spending, office expenses, and vendor payments. That means controls by person and vehicle, integrations with Simpro, your telematics, your accounting software, and a month-end close that takes hours, not days.
With the Coast + Simpro integration, you're able to capture every job expense as they happen, so you can invoice sooner, improve cash flow, and eliminate manual work.
The Coast Visa® Commercial Card is issued by Celtic Bank. All card accounts subject to credit approval.

FAQ
Our customers save an average of $30,000 per year on fuel and corporate card expenses. Here’s how:
- Rebates add up fast. You get rebates on every gallon on your statement, and up to 9 cents at 30,000 stations nationwide that we partner with.
- Controls stop waste before it happens. Set spending limits, block personal purchases, and prevent fraud with built-in controls that actually work. No more surprise charges or after-the-fact cleanup.
- Smart station selection. Fuel prices can swing 30 cents per gallon between stations in the same area. Coast helps you identify and block expensive stations so your team automatically fuels up at the most cost-effective options.
- Real-time visibility to see where money’s going. Spot issues as they happen, whether it’s a vehicle getting worse mileage or an employee consistently overspending. Coast surfaces these patterns automatically, so you don’t have to dig through reports to find them.
Coast integrates with the tools you’re already using, whether it’s telematics, fleet management, field service management, or your accounting systems. We built these integrations to actually save you time and make your financial operations more efficient, not just check a box.
- Telematics that go further. Our integrations with Samsara, Geotab, Verizon Connect, Azuga, and others work both ways. We use GPS data to automatically block transactions when your vehicle isn’t at the pump, flag mismatches between tank capacity and gallons purchased, and pull vehicle info so you’re not entering it twice. It’s fraud protection and accuracy rolled into one.
- Fleet management made simpler. Integrations with Fleetio and WhipAround automatically send fuel and maintenance transactions to your fleet management platform. All your vehicle data is in one place, which means you can actually track your real total cost of ownership, including fuel and maintenance, and without the manual work.
- Effortless accounting. Connect with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct to automatically categorize transactions based on your existing fields. Push complete transactions, receipts included, with one click.
- Field service management that ties to jobs. Our Simpro integration lets your employees assign card expenses to specific jobs as they happen. Get accurate job costs in real time so you can bill correctly and get paid fast.
Most construction and trades businesses end up juggling a fuel card, one or more corporate cards, and sometimes an expense management tool on top of it all. It works, but managing multiple programs, tracking spending across platforms, and reconciling everything at month-end is a mess.
Coast consolidates it into one program. You get fuel card controls where you need them, spending flexibility where it makes sense, and everything in one place for reporting and reconciliation. No more logging into three different systems or chasing down receipts from multiple cards.
Think of it like this: best-in-class fuel card + corporate card with actual controls + expense management that eliminates expense reports. All for $4 per user per month.
