"It saves each driver an hour a day, and that equates to about $150/day in truck utilisation (driver and vehicle costs). Prior to the TouchStar system we were always two to three days behind with processing - sometimes stretching to 10 days with staff holidays and illness. Now, needless checking has been totally removed from the business, manual workarounds are a thing of the past and everything happens automatically," – Paul McAllum, BP Fosters Petroleum
"Within a very short period, TouchStar was able to fully debug the complex load and delivery procedures, which resulted in a reliable work tool for our drivers. The interface is clear and intuitive. Discovering the subsequent commercial benefits of this project has been a real pleasure for Kuwait Petroleum."
- Jean-Marc Van Ravels, Kuwait Petroleum

"The system has enabled us to increase drop sizes by over a third, with a corresponding reduction in the number of deliveries necessary."
- Ian Turner, Project Manager, BP

"Exel can deliver more litres of product from each vehicle over its lifetime. The TouchStar Solution enables Exel to add value to its customer's business and that's what gives us a competitive edge."
- Les Bargh, General Manager of the Morrisons Fuels contract at Exel.
"The driving force behind the decision to implement a mobile computing solution was to improve efficiency in operations; specifically to eliminate paperwork, reduce billing cycles and to automate stock reconciliation and reduce human error. TouchStar's system does "what it says on the tin". It has done exactly what we wanted it to."
- David Brown, Fleet Asset Manager at Calor
"Based upon its expertise and knowledge of the fuel and gas business and its reputation for delivering robust systems, TouchStar claim to be the best in the industry. On the basis of our experience of working with the company, we are happy to concur with that opinion."
- Vincent Brouard, Logistics Manager, TotalGaz
