UK-based PSD Codax is helping oil giant Galp control customer access to car wash equipment across Spain following a deal with cleaning chemicals company and service provider Interchem.

Interchem, which has been appointed Codax distributor in Spain, is replacing outdated card reading technology on equipment at Galp forecourts with the Codax code access system.

The Codax system works by issuing a unique code which customers key into a special touchpad to start the car wash services that they have purchased. This system will help Galp eliminate lost revenue from unauthorised usage and provide management reports that can be easily checked against takings.

Mario Pesquera, managing director of Interchem Solutions, said: “We really enjoy working with PSD Codax and are excited about our order from Galp. Other clients are also pleased that we are supporting the Codax range in Spain and we have installed Codax with new wash installations and retrofited to existing installations.”

Graham Round, managing director of PSD Codax, said: “We are delighted to be working with Interchem to help Galp protect car wash revenues and provide customers with a hassle-free way of paying for and accessing car care equipment.

“The Codax system eliminates the problems associated with unreliable magnetic strip cards – which can be easily damaged and frustrating for customers to use – and stops staff giving away free washes.”

This special edition Christmas Washcard is yet another way in which PSD Codax is helping forecourt operators to profit from their carwash and valet equipment.

Attractive gifts with high profit margins

Unlike most gift cards, Codax washcards deliver almost pure profit. Because they work with your existing wash equipment, you keep all the revenue.

Part of a range that works all year

This is just one of the possible variants – think Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Labor Day – all fully compatible with standard Codax Smartcard installations.

Codax Smartcard – an easy upgrade

Next season, would your customers benefit from sales of washcards? All you need to get started is a simple Codax Smartcard upgrade.

UK-based PSD Codax, the market leading developer of token-free control systems for car wash and associated equipment, is helping householders acrossIrelanddispose of domestic waste at specially equipped petrol stations.

Environmental Compaction Systems (ECS), based inCountyWexford, is integrating self-service payment technology, developed by PSD Codax, with its pay-as-you-use waste disposal units.

ECS designs and manufactures a range of waste handling equipment and has compaction units situated on garage forecourts and other sites across the Republic of Ireland.

The Codax self-service kiosk allows customers to purchase a unique access code to dispose of their bagged domestic waste, rather than queuing to pay. They then key the code into a Codax touchpad on the waste compaction unit to bin their rubbish.

ECS is in discussions with major retailers about introducing its pay-as-you-use waste compaction units on forecourts in the UK and Europe.

Liam O Neill, managing director of Environmental Compaction Systems, said: “Integrating PSD Codax with our units not only makes it easier and quicker for householders to dispose of their domestic waste, it also helps us manage our company cash-flow as we collect the cash takings ourselves. It also provides retailers with a simple, hassle-free standalone system from which they can earn valuable income.”

Graham Round, managing director of PSD Codax, said: “We are delighted that Environmental Compaction Systems has moved away from tokens and has chosen to integrate our token-free access technology with its waste compaction units.

“Most major forecourt operators already use our Codax systems for their car wash and jet wash equipment. This latest deal illustrates perfectly how our Codax systems can be easily adapted for just about any type of forecourt equipment, from access barriers to coffee vending machines and washroom facilities.”
