Service stations reimagined: Fortech’s smart ecosystem for the multi-energy era

In the modern energy landscape, service stations are no longer limited to refueling stops; they are evolving into dynamic multi-energy hubs capable of addressing the diverse needs of contemporary consumers. From fueling and electric vehicle (EV) charging to non-oil services like cafes, convenience stores, car washes, and parking management, today's service stations offer a seamless blend of functionality and convenience.

For those searching for a very versatile solution, OPTcompact is the answer. It’s a compact device that facilitates cashless payments, with bank cards or even fleet cards, for EV charging and can be installed directly on the charger, mounted on a wall, or placed on a standalone support, offering flexibility and ease of use fully compliant with AFIR regulation.

As service stations transform into multi-energy hubs, managing a diverse range of services efficiently has become essential. From fuel dispensing and EV charging to non-oil services like car washes, cafes, and parking, operators need a centralized solution to ensure smooth operations.
