ROI Impact Report
Service tanks in the field with accurate wireless level monitoring and alerts to reduce trucking-related costs, enhance inventory management and improve customer service.
Challenge
Before TankScan, Midwest Fuels (name changed) relied on a combination of:
- Customer phone calls when tanks were getting low (reactive)
- Fixed delivery schedules (e.g., every Tuesday) regardless of actual need (wasteful)
- Seasonal estimates based on historical usage (inaccurate)
- Driver-reported levels from sight glasses during deliveries (infrequent)
This resulted in:
- 12-15 run-outs per month during peak season
- 30% of deliveries are at less than half-full (inefficient partial loads)
- 4 full-time dispatchers coordinating deliveries by phone
- Average 18 stops per truck per day
- Customer satisfaction score: 72/100
