“TouchStar Technologies have been fantastic in how they’ve tailored their solution to Flogas. The pace at which they can adapt the system to meet our need to continuously improve our service has been instrumental in adding so much value into our service proposition.

The company has been essential in providing real-time delivery data so that that speed of rescheduling, that speed of customer context, where we have or haven’t delivered, is key to our service offering.”


Tim Eaton, Head of Logistics and Supply Chain, Flogas
