FODs achieving profitability gains with Kingspan
Telemetry devices fitted to customers tanks enables level data to be seamlessly imported via API feed to an FOD’s software systems – typically CODAS & Fuelsoft (no need for file sending) – enabling auto-ticket generation.
FODs can also view, monitor and export tank data across their entire population through the Connect Sensor platform, which now comes with the addition of a mapping function.
“Increasingly, our fuel distribution customers not only use the data to auto-generate orders, they are also using it to reduce delivery frequency and optimise routing,” says Nick Hawkins, Kingspan’s commercial director UK & Ireland.
“It means they’re able to significantly cut travel time and left-on-boards thanks to more accurate planning.”
He continues: “We’ve been at the forefront of developments in tank and telemetry systems, working closely with our FOD partners, for many years.
“One of our key strengths is that we now have a suite of telemetry devices. That means, whatever the application, we have the most accurate and cost-effective solution, whether it be a plastic tank, steel tank, domestic, commercial, diesel dispenser, or a mobile bowser.
“Our devices are compatible with a range of connectivities such as 2G, 3G, NB-IoT, LoRa & SIGFOX. And our new Watchman Radar unit reads the tank level without the need to drill a hole, making it an ideal solution for plastic tanks owned by domestic customers.”
