Fuel management software business – Triscan Systems has recently become the latest FORS Associate member.

Why has Triscan joined FORS?
Barry McLeod – Marketing Director for the Lancashire based firm makes the point “Our aim as a supplier to the transport industry sits very well with the FORS objectives. Our software link downloads and exports crucial data relating to fuel and vehicles and makes it infinitely easier for operators to benefit from participation in strategic benchmarking schemes like this”.
What products has Triscan developed?
Triscan has focused its development on a number of new fuel and fleet management products over the last few years, including linking its fuel monitoring software with vehicle telemetry. Dan Evanson – FORS Manager Transport for London said “Benchmarking is an extremely useful tool as it allows operators to ensure that their fleet is not only improving, but also maintaining high standards and good efficiencies. It is welcoming to see a company working to support sustainable freight distribution in London through a simple, practical action”.
