Stuart Tillman, vice president for sales at PerfectStop, said, "For operators, fuel costs, billing errors and timely billing are big issues - and this system improves all of them. The bottom line is faster and more accurate billing, with greater control over costs. For FBOs, this is an enormous value, giving them a direct connection to customers, with aircraft and event tracking tools included at no cost."
