New Amicus Fuel Site Implementation Policy!

Neotechnology has recently implemented a policy regarding Fuel Site Implementations of Amicus for Fuel Outlets. Due to the complex nature of installing a system integrated to fuel bowers, Partners of Neotechnology when installing Amicus will be required to have in attendance a fuel systems specialist as referred by Neotechnology for the implementation phase of the project. All training and retail aspects of the installation will still be provided by the partner. Please contact us when you're making a quotation for a fuel outlet so that we can advise you of what you need to factor into your quote.

If you would like to know any more details about this policy please contact us on 1300 88 00 48 or email.
