Client Overview

EcoTank provides an automated, eco-friendly alternative to traditional windshield washer fluid sales for fuel stations, convenience stores, and automotive service businesses. Their self-serve refill dispensers replace single-use plastic jugs, letting drivers refill only what they need, quickly and cleanly, directly at the pump.

The system operates autonomously with remote monitoring for inventory, refills, and performance, reducing labour while improving operational efficiency. By eliminating disposable jugs, EcoTank helps divert thousands of plastic containers from landfills each year, supporting retailers' sustainability and ESG commitments. With a reliable, scalable solution that enhances customer convenience and environmental responsibility, EcoTank has become a trusted partner for businesses modernizing their onsite services.

Challenge: Eliminating downtime and connectivity blind spots

Before partnering with NuvoLinQ, EcoTank's deployments were held back by recurring connectivity failures and limited visibility. With previous carriers, EcoTank experienced:

  • Unexplained data loss: SIM cards would lose all connection and installation data without explanation, creating unnecessary troubleshooting and downtime.
  • Inconsistent activation: Connectivity was not always immediate, slowing field work.
  • Limited visibility: Few tools to understand what was happening in the field or keep SIM information organized for reference.

These issues affected both payment processing (POS uptime) and remote tank monitoring, making reliable operations harder to maintain at scale.

03

Solution: Simple, reliable connectivity with real-time SIM control

EcoTank chose NuvoLinQ for the simplicity and reliability of the solution, especially for field installation and activation. Key elements included:

Easier installation and faster deployments

Installation was significantly easier versus alternatives, and every SIM connected immediately upon activation, removing prior delays.

Faster download speeds

Improved speeds helped technicians run updates and tests more efficiently during on-site service.

LinQView SIM management

An easy-to-use web portal to manage, view, and save SIM card information, plus real-time monitoring to quickly assess connectivity status across units. The network also provides access to both Rogers and Bell, connecting to the strongest available signal.

Responsive post-sales support

Fast SIM delivery after ordering, strong follow-up during the SIM transition, and billing that has been accurate and straightforward.
