TouchStar systems represent the "Holy Grail" for many organisations operating in the fuel oil and lubricant distribution sector, the provision of true end-to-end solutions that cover every facet of the IT requirement. TouchStar has created a framework which enables plug-and-play business integration between previously disparate solutions. Full systems or modular components within the TouchStar portfolio can be easily combined in order to provide a fully integrated system for fuel and lubricant distribution.
There is a growing demand from fuel oil distribution customers requesting solutions which ensure seamless data transfer between own and partner systems in order to automate their business. By integrating the different system components, the complete supply chain from the refinery via transport systems to the fuel farm to the forecourt to the enterprise back office can now be managed in an automated way.

TouchStar solutions encompass every manner of on-board activity in the vehicle. We can provide tailored systems that provide critical operational information relating to vehicle position, vehicle route, driver efficiency, fuel meter operation, tachograph data, sensor data ( trailer tags, temperature tags ) etc. Our intelligent communications network ensures that all information associated with the vehicle can be made available to the back office systems in real time. The benefits derived from utilising an on-board computer as the hub for all vehicle-based information are many and too numerous to list here. Example benefits include ;
 The availability of real time location data to the planner provides the ability to dynamically change a driver’s work schedule, so the company can react quickly and efficiently to customer demand.- Destinations can be reached in an optimal way, using real-time navigation technology.
- Integrated voice communication allows the driver and office to talk to each other. Operation can be limited whilst the vehicle is in motion, maximizing driver safety.
- Customers can be automatically forewarned of impending deliveries
- Vehicle location and fuel stock levels can be constantly monitored, operators can be alerted to unanticipated fuel discharges.
- Fuels can be accurately discharged, using the on-board computer to closely control the flow meter
- Electronic proof of delivery can be obtained, whilst professional looking documentation is left with the customer
The above are just some of the numerous commercial benefits that can accrue; leading to genuine cost savings, competitive advantages and enhanced customer service.
