In our fuel-thirsty world, the logistics of getting fuel to point of sale or industrial fuel depot is a frantic yet efficiency-critical operation. To economically deliver the thousands of litres of fuel in their trailers, tanker drivers need to keep a close eye on how the hundreds of litres
in their own tanks are used up. If that factor can be covered within a delivery management system, maximum efficiency can be approached. FuelStar is the solution that saves as it operates.

FuelStar is TouchStar’s response to a fuel delivery industry that was being buried under an avalanche of paperwork, where orders were becoming lost and delivery records would vanish. We have the hardware, the software and the expertise to provide the industry with a stable and cost-effective solution that will address these shortcomings. Bringing them together creates a system where live delivery data is sent from the meter to a central TouchPC in the cab, on-screen signature capture enables proof of delivery to be recorded, and data is transmitted to the back office for recording and invoicing. The final step is to present menus and procedures in a user-friendly and graphical manner that requires minimal driver training.
The hardware that makes the FuelStar system work so well is the TouchPC range of touchscreen hand held computers, which are cradled in the cab of the delivery truck and can be attached to an in-cab or integrated printer to produce receipts for customers where requested. The connectivity of the cradle allows fuel delivery operations to take advantage of its two-way GSM/GPRS link with the back office, a lifeline that allows schedule updates, queries and the delivery data itself to be flashed back and forth. Updated orders can be interwoven into a driver’s route at the most economical point, with obvious savings in time and fuel. |
