Partner Focus: CODAS

CODAS-OTC provides significant vehicle utilisation benefits and dramatically reduces administrative overheads inherent in manual, paper-based systems; adoption of CODAS-OTC solutions continues to increase as more and more fuel distributors, of all sizes, realise the competitive advantages they bring.

CODAS-OTC has a unique real-time interface to the Touchstar Fuelstar system.

Over 1400 vehicles in 17 different Oil and LPG distributors are using CODAS–OTC as part of fleet operations every single day. The capabilities of the combined software result in the following operational benefits;

• Vastly improved operational agility: Selecting the ‘real-time’ CODAS-Touchstar interface provides office-based users with up-to-the-minute, entire fleet visibility; knowing drivers’ progress around their routes and the quantities of product left-on-board allows users to make rapid and accurate time-critical decisions
• Enhanced customer experience: Adding tickets to, and removing tickets from, loads digitally removes any worry about the quality and accuracy of paperwork and – where delivery tickets are priced – the need to send separate invoices is eliminated
• Depot-produced paperwork becomes a thing of the past: remote vehicle operation from unmanned locations becomes much easier
• Load reconciliation builds up in real time: loaded and delivered quantities are automatically recorded from the data returned by the OTC system, massively reducing administrative overheads
• Digital Proof of delivery: High-quality PDF documents are automatically imported into, and stored within, the CODAS back-end
