Automated Bulk Water Truckfill Stations – Cards vs Codes

1–2 minutes

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 keeps things straightforward and secure. You simply walk up to the kiosk, enter your unique four-digit Access Number, then your four-digit PIN on the keypad. The system checks that those two codes match your account, unlocks the station, and lets you start filling your truck. In other words, you control bulk water access in seconds, without staff intervention or paperwork.

We have not changed this concept. The reason being that cards, keys, and fobs are flawed, especially when measured against PIN based systems. As a municipality or utility, you are ultimately not in control. Really, your bulk water haulers and customers have control over your costs and time spent administering the system.

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 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. This is achievable with access control via a PIN .
