Overview

What the system delivers

Inventory control, shop efficiency and accurate accounting, on one platform.

Inventory Control

Every bulk fluid transaction captured, from storage tank to metered dispenser, with user-defined security levels on who can fill and dispense.

Shop Efficiencies

High-flow meters cut dispensing time, and the processing sits out in the service bay — paperless transactions, no back and forth with the parts room.

Accurate Accounting

Accounting and the parts room read the same dispense data, so every quart and pint is accounted for and billed.
