What other small businesses are saying
I’d ask my managers how much time they spent monitoring their gas accounts, and they’d tell me it was too difficult and time-consuming to do. Now with Coast, we have a simple way to track fuel spend.
Bob W.President at Canoga Park Heating & Air Conditioning
Prior to Coast, we really struggled with reconciliation of our accounts. One of the reasons that we love Coast is that now we can go online, get a very easy to read report when we want it, and it has shaved a lot of time off our monthly close because of the ease of the reporting that we have.

[With Coast,] You don’t have to dig for your data, you don’t have to wait until the end of the month to see when someone is filling up too frequently.
