When we started, no other company offered a fully integrated controls system and administrative package for bulk water truckfill stations. We stepped up, built the whole solution ourselves, and set the standard for automated operation, accurate tracking, and streamlined management.
The Flowpoint PIN access system is designed to keep bulk water access both simple and secure. To begin, users walk up to the kiosk and enter their unique four-digit Access Code, followed by their four-digit PIN using the keypad. The system authenticates the codes in seconds, unlocks the bulk water loading station, and gets the user filling right away.
This advanced access method removes the need for physical cards, keys, or fobs. Reducing maintenance and eliminating common points of failure. The system enables bulk water truckfill operations in seconds, eliminating staff involvement, paperwork, and manual approvals. The result is a faster, more reliable, and more secure self-service experience that benefits both operators and customers alike.
We have not changed this concept
The reason is simple: cards, keys, and fobs all come with built-in limitations. Especially when compared to a secure PIN-based system. Physical credentials can be lost, shared, damaged, or forgotten. Creating gaps in accountability and adding ongoing administrative work.
For municipalities and utilities, this often means you’re not fully in control of your own system. Instead, bulk water haulers and customers end up driving your costs and consuming staff time through replacements, exceptions, and manual oversight. Time your team can instead focus on higher-value operational priorities.
We know that you and your administration staff run a tight, well-organized bulk water program. When in fact the real weak link still sits with the water hauler end user. Haulers deal with rough conditions and fast turnarounds, so cards get lost, bent, soaked, or damaged. Grinding access to a halt. When that happens, the hauler may blame the bulk water loading station, not their own card handling. Your staff ends up fielding the calls and fixing the disruption. In the end, you carry the responsibility to keep a reliable, working system in place for everyone who needs water.

Operational Benefits for Public Works
Communities can also leverage an automated bulk water truckfill station to support essential operational needs. Such as street sweeping, road cleaning, dust control, sewer maintenance, and community greening initiatives. With 24/7 self-service access, municipal crews and authorized contractors can quickly obtain water without coordinating staff availability or managing manual approvals.
This keeps water available precisely when crews need it. Early mornings, after storms, or during peak seasonal demand. Helping departments stay on schedule and respond more effectively to day-to-day operational requirements. It’s as easy as generating access codes and PINs in the software within an operational grouping, then you track such usage at just the cluck of a button.
Beyond convenience, the system provides municipalities with greater control, visibility, and accountability over water usage. Usage is tracked automatically by user, vehicle, and location. Allowing departments to allocate costs accurately, monitor consumption trends, and plan resources more effectively. Whether supporting park irrigation, tree planting programs, or roadway maintenance, communities benefit from reduced administrative overhead. The also see improved operational efficiency, and a modern infrastructure solution that aligns with sustainability and long-term asset management goals.
