Touchstar fuels growth
EMBARKING ON AN AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STRATEGY IN AUTUMN 2018, TOUCHSTAR’S R&D DEPARTMENT HAS LAUNCHED A
RANGE OF NEW PRODUCTS TO OPTIMISE THE MODERN BULK DELIVERY PROCESS.
The new range includes high specification
cloud-based logistics digitisation and
optimisation software.
Developed in conjunction with some of
the giants in bulk logistics, the new front-end
vehicle-based application software offers a
live connection between drivers, transport
staff, accounts teams and customers. Sharing
live data regarding vehicle position, on-board
stock, delivery volumes and pricing, enables
both better operational decision-making and a
reduction in administration.
TouchStar’s middleware product, which
provides the link between front-end vehicle-
based applications and back office systems,
now has additional functionality enhancing
and consolidating all applications in one
convenient location.
The most recent addition to the
company’s computing hardware range is the
TouchStar TS3200-A. Slimmer, smarter and
stronger than its predecessors, it provides full
protection against dust, water and oil ingress.

It also features front and rear-facing cameras
and a glare proof 7” high-resolution screen,
suitable for use with gloves. Handheld and
tablet devices have the ability to inferface with
any current operating system from Windows,
Android or iOS, with many devices conforming
to ATEX specification.
From one vehicle to thousands,
Touchstar’s logistics optimisation software has
been developed as a scalable EPOD solution
for any size of business from SMEs to major
blue-chip organisations. The system ensures
the optimisation of work scheduling, reduces
fuel costs and improves customer service levels
without adding extra complexity.
