Ernie Betancourt, president of the Franklin, Tenn.-based QuikQ, said QuikQ is pleased to join NATSO [image-nocss] to improve the trucking industry's method of processing diesel fuel transactions. "Since QuikQ is a startup company with several patent applications intended to modernize the way the motor carrier/truck stop relationship works, we know that having this kind of access to the NATSO leadership will help us reach our mutual goals successfully."
QuikQ is a privately held software development company that will use new technology to improve the method to process diesel fuel transactions as well as provide security measures to drastically reduce fuel fraud. QuikQ offers a cardless direct fuel connection between the truckstop point-of-sale (POS) systems and the motor carrier's enterprise management system.
The software engine processing fuel transactions can operate as on-premise software or in the software as a service (SaaS) model. QuikQ's product DFConnect is intended to reduce fuel fraud, reduce or eliminate driver data entry and provide new management and marketing tools for the truckstop.
Betancourt launched QuikQ in December 2009 after selling Innovative Computing Corp.
NATSO President and CEO Lisa Mullings welcomed the association's newest member and praised the company for its willingness to take a leadership role in NATSO as a Chairman's Circle member to improve its business and the truckstop industry.
Alexandria, Va.-based NATSO represents the industry on legislative and regulatory matters; serves as the official source of information on the diverse travel plaza and truckstop industry; provides education to its members; conducts an annual convention and trade show; and supports efforts to generally improve the business climate in which its members operate.
