Moreover, automated odometer and/or engine hour capture at the time of refuelling ensures that customers are provided with quality information to manage fuel consumption. As the OTI Technology platform is microprocessor based and supports full read/write functionality, information on devices in the field and the application itself can be updated remotely. The integrated EasyFuel/FuelPOS solution enables Tokheim to offer their customers nozzle in correct tank security whilst managing risk on the front end.
By positioning itself as a service provider in various markets, OTI has developed best practices over many years. These best practices underpin the back office software tools which are licensed to partners in order to enable them to enhance their service offering.
