Hodgkins, IL – OPW Fuel Management Systems and Kardtech Incorporated (Brampton, Ontario) have entered into a marketing partnership agreement for the Canadian market and announce the official launch of the Kardall Remote Fuel Access Technology.
The FSC3000™ Kardall network option gives the user the ability to access the online host 24/7 as opposed to local authentication via a local controller solution. The Internet “Cloud” operating system has been designed to streamline fuel
data transaction capture, resulting in savings of time and money as well as increased system security for the site operator.
At its root, the Kardall system simplifies fuel-management operations. For instance, a site operator with multiple fueling locations currently would need to maintain his card file of authorized users at each location. Now, thanks to the OPW/Kardtech agreement
for the Canadian petroleum market, site operators can install the FSC3000™ unit outfitted with the Kardall network option. Kardall’s “Cloud” operating system – which has the ability to store virtually an unlimited number
of authorized users and track an infinite number of fueling transactions – will be able to control and monitor every transaction at all operator fueling sites.
The network option also offers site operators a systematic diagnostic data notifications feature that compiles and downloads the current day’s transactions and looks for errors that may have occurred within the fueling system. If any termination
codes have been triggered, their specifics are compiled in an e-mail that is sent to the site operator. This is a quick, convenient way to review what is happening at fueling sites and can provide an indication of potential problems within the system, all
through a smart phone or remote Internet connection.
Another major benefit of the new network option is the instant a fueling transaction is completed it is recorded in real-time on the Kardall host. This prevents anyone from authorizing a second refueling from anywhere within the fuel operator’s
entire network.
Additionally, users have the option of implementing the Trak-iT™ Fleet Freedom® electronic monitoring and tracking system. Fleet Freedom helps site operators locate, track and manage their assets using cutting-edge wireless and GPS-based technologies,
no matter the network or device, all on one screen. This information is delivered to a compact mobile device with service available anywhere you can see the sky. In addition to knowing where your mobile assets are at any time, tracking them with Fleet
Freedom helps reduce fuel costs, increases security, improves routing and scheduling capabilities, shortens delivery windows, produces enhanced idling reports and enables effective monitoring of “personal use” policies.
