"We are excited to continue our global partnership with OPW and their leading tank monitoring technology," adds Casey Zandbergen, vice president of strategic initiatives at FuelQuest. "Integrating OPW products with FuelQuest's ForeSite inventory management solutions will benefit the many OPW retail petroleum customers, making it easy to monitor environmental compliance, identify fuel inventory levels, and enhance security, - all of which benefit their bottom line.
OPW's SiteSentinel® iSite™ is an intuitive, icon-based tank gauge system featuring information at point-of-use through a unique 38,1 cm (15") touch-screen console, multi-drop probe and sensor capability, wireless, internet, and SQL-based connectivity that allows users to conveniently access and view real-time information about their sites online from anywhere at anytime.
FuelQuest ForeSite SV provides real-time, independent visibility into fuel management operations allowing companies to monitor and ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of their replenishment plans. ForeSite SV allows retailers and distributors to identify and address proactively unplanned events that disrupt operations such as usage swings, inclement weather, and traffic changes avoiding run-outs and retains. FuelQuest ForeSite IC enables retailers to identify and resolve issues with theft, fraud, leakage, delivery, dispensing equipment, and operational error.
