CAR WASH MONITORING
Taking convenience store personnel away from
c-store operations is a major pain point for most
marketers. One of those activities includes taking
manual inventory of car wash chemicals. A store
employee must leave the store, enter the car
wash bay, manually check levels, and create a
handwritten report. With the ability to remotely
monitor the levels of these chemicals that fuel
their car wash business, marketers not only
keep their store personnel behind the counter,
they also can forecast their ordering cycles and
prevent run outs.
EVO™ EDGE CAR WASH MONITORING
The EVO™ EDGE Car Wash Monitoring System delivers real-time car wash chemical inventory
monitoring. The system is compatible with all common car wash chemicals including soaps,
waxes, pre-soaks, and degreasers. The non-intrusive installation allows for easy retrofitting on
any type of car wash chemical container with zero obstruction during a refill.
Via the FFS PRO® Connect interface, marketers get automated alerts and remote access to
inventory information including volume, delivery information, usage rate, and forecasting that
provides the estimated days of remaining inventory.
EASY INSTALLATION
REMOTE MONITORING
The non-intrusive installation process
involves a simple, side-mounted input on each chemical
container. The one-time install can be left in place for
the life of the container with no interaction required
during a refill. Each sensor (up to 12) is located in a
central manifold that can be installed without any
specialized tools or need for electrical contractors.
Inventory level information can be
accessed remotely via any web browser or fed directly
into a marketer’s existing business management
software. Data can be viewed as full-color inventory
container levels with icon-driven status indicators, or in
detailed tables that can be turned into downloadable
reports. User-customized alarms and email notifications
keep marketers up-to-date with inventory levels.
SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN
NOTIFICATIONS
The system utilizes a unique method to
capture inventory levels by measuring the pressure it
takes to force an air bubble through the chemical. This
method allows the system to operate without probes or
floats, leaving no moving parts to replace or maintain.
The system automatically learns usage rates
for each chemical and provides the predicted days of
remaining inventory to help streamline re-ordering.
Highly accurate delivery level readings during each
refill event provide marketers with an easy way to
cross-check their chemical delivery bills so they get
what they pay for.
