HEATH, Ohio -- Englefield Oil Co. Inc. has completed its rollout of PDI/Warehouse Inventory, said PDI, a leading provider of enterprise-class automation software systems to the convenience-store, petroleum marketing and foodservice industries.
Englefield Oil, which operates a chain of 123 Duchess Shoppe convenience stores and is one of the largest independent fuel and lube suppliers in Ohio, implemented the warehouse management software in all its warehouses.
PDI/Warehouse Inventory provides petroleum marketers a sophisticated inventory and reporting system that effectively manages every phase in the supply chain from ordering to reconciliation. With recent enhancements to its ordering and billing features, the software now includes better order forecasting and support for national accounts and buybacks.
“The PDI warehouse management software allows us to collect and analyze our warehouse data on a daily basis, which we expect will result in more effective forecasting, greater ordering efficiency, and enhanced vendor relationship management through improved delivery and credit tracking for our buyback programs,” said Chris Beem, CFO for Englefield Oil, Heath, Ohio. “In addition, by using the complete PDI software package, we can compile enterprise-wide financial information and develop budgets and forecasts for our multi-segment operation.”
Improvements to PDI’s warehouse management software are the result of the technology company’s ongoing push to enhance its wholesale petroleum product suite.
“We have nearly 180 petroleum marketing customers and, and just like for our retail customers, we’re dedicated to providing them with the best tools to run their operations efficiently and profitably,” said Grace Chambers, PDI’s fuel development manager. “This is just the beginning of a number of new wholesale innovations.”
Temple, Texas-based PDI provides software, hardware and professional services to convenience retailers and wholesale petroleum marketers. More than 350 companies operating more than 30,000 locations worldwide rely on PDI's software systems for retail automation, supply-chain management, business intelligence, financial reporting and employee time and labor management.
