Some of the problems that PerfectFlow addresses are as follows:

• Handling Messy Pumps: Users never handle a thick-fluid pump because the system either replaces the thick-fluid pump altogether or, if an auxiliary pump is required, it is permanently located and connected to the system with a quick-connect fitting
• Uncontrolled Product Discharge: Eliminates the hose-reel problem of uncontrolled retraction in combination with an open preset meter by eliminating hose-reels and providing increased functionality
• Punctured or Crushed Containers: Eliminates the costs and problems from fluid containers being either pierced by forklifts or crushed by heavier equipment
• Messy Filling of Dispensing Guns: Users will more quickly, more easily, and much more cleanly refill thick-fluid dispensing guns
• Messy Disposition of Disposable Containers: Eliminates the mess attendant to proper disposition of disposable fluid containers because the system eliminates disposable fluid containers
• 45-Minute Container Change-out Time: Reducing container change-out time by 95% by eliminating inserting and removing fluid pumps from the fluid container and the system's quick-connect fittings
• Dispensing Rate Too Slow: Dispensing rates can be extremely fast or extremely low, varying from 870 liters per minute or more to less than 0.01 liter per minute as required by the application as a result of the system's energy, which can pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, electronic, or electro-mechanical
• Product Spills: Reduces slipping accidents by preventing product spills due to the system's clean operation
• Remote Location with No Power: The system operates independently dispensing fluids with no external power source using instead the system's internal energy as a motive force
• High Container Residual: Product residual is minimal because the invention's internal force element dispenses nearly all the product in the fluid containment
• Workers' Compensation Claims: Lowers user worker's compensation claims by providing a cleaner, safer work environment
• "Kitty Litter" Product Contamination: Product is not contaminated by the "kitty litter" acquired when pumps are changed from empty containers to full containers because the invention eliminates removing and inserting of fluid pumps
• Product Waste: Unit volume purchases are reduced by up to 30% through waste minimization
• Paying for Product Left in the Container: End users pay only for the product they use because suppliers' weigh systems in and out
• Follower-Plate Hang-up: The system eliminates follower-plate hang-up costs through its unique internal design where the system's force element does not touch the container sidewalls
• Necessity to Bleed Lines: Product lines do not need to be "bled" before resuming production because the system eliminates air pocket contamination
• Hose Reel Installation and Maintenance Costs: The system eliminates hose-reel installation and maintenance costs because the system eliminates the need for hose-reels with equal or better functionality
• Dented Drums, Kegs, and Pails: The system's more robust containers eliminate dented drums, kegs, and pails
• Air-Pocket Contamination: The system eliminates air-pocket contamination which is deleterious to pump operation
• Pulse Dampners: Production line pulse dampeners are not required because the system provides non-mechanical (no moving parts), non-pulsating product dispensing and transferring
• Too Costly to Modify Fluid System: Users can more easily and more quickly modify, reduce or expand their operational fluid transfer capability without installing or removing piping because the system is self-contained and is available in a flexible configuration and sizes - fully scalable in portable, bulk, and portable/bulk containers
• Limited Asset Utilization: Enables industrial users to generate more revenue from their physical space because of the system's portability
• Environmental and product contamination costs and worker compensation claims: the system eliminates the need to insert and remove pumps from thick fluids
• Hard to Move Containers: portable because its portable segment is easily moved by way of its hand cart for industrial applications
• Pump Failures Too High: Increases fluid system reliability because the invention eliminates fluid pumps
• Pump Priming: The system does not require priming and uses no internal pumps
• Short-lived product quality: Product quality is maintained longer because the system is sealed and an inert gas protects the product from oxygen and other contaminants
• Messy Disposable Fluid Containers: Enhances waste minimization because the system eliminates disposable fluid containers
• Lack of Operational Information: Smart Systems enable users to remotely assess their operational effectiveness by receiving and processing information from the technology's in-field fluid systems equipped with sensors and communication capability
• Can't Get Prospective Customer's Attention: The system is a superior marketing tool because prospective users easily identify with the invention's benefits and readily pay a product premium to have such benefits
• Poor Dispensing Rate Control: The invention can dispense thick fluids at a constant, ratable rate because the system is non-pulsating
• Too Difficult to Use System: The system is very user friendly and compatible with union shops
• Messy Work Environment: Containers are 100% recyclable, and the work environment is kept clean with the sealed dispensing system and elimination of internal pumps;
• Noise Pollution: The system is extremely quiet - makes no noise while dispensing a thick fluid or paste - because the invention has no moving parts

Fluid marketer's problems addressed by the invention

• Customer satisfaction too low: Enables fluid suppliers to benefit from increased sales as a result of customer's enhanced satisfaction and lower costs
• Unmet customer needs and wants: Enables fluid suppliers to also benefit from increased brand loyalty that reflects the invention's enhanced ability to better meet customer needs
• Collateral sales too low: Enables fluid suppliers to also benefit from increased collateral sales because industrial users are committed to having fewer suppliers and favor the supplier with the better value proposition
• Market differentiation too low: Enables fluid suppliers to also benefit from increased market differentiation through the uniqueness of the invention and its value proposition to customers
• Poor margin protection: Enables fluid suppliers to also benefit from increased margin protection through the invention's proprietary approach
• Poor market share protection: Enables fluid suppliers to also benefit from increased market share protection because of the system's better value proposition
• Customer maintenance costs too high: Lowers customer maintenance costs because a fluid supplier doesn't have to "baby-sit" customers in a highly competitive environment
• Customer acquisition costs too high: Lowers customer acquisition costs because customers easily identify with the benefits of the invention
• Customer duration too low: Increases customer duration because there is a higher level of customer satisfaction
• Sales growth and brand loyalty too low: Increases sales and brand loyalty because the invention offers customer convenience and excellent value
