COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Tucker Oil has chosen to implement TelaPoint Inc.s TelaFuel Internet fuel management solution.
Operating 30 retail convenience stores as well as numerous wholesale accounts, dealer consignment locations and bulk storage facilities, Columbia, S.C.-based Tucker Oil was using a variety of manual and time consuming activities to gather historical data and forecast future demand.
We knew the technology was available that would allow us to streamline the collection and analysis of our fuel data, said David Tucker, [image-nocss] president of Tucker Oil. With the TelaFuel suite, we are able to gather historical data, forecast future demand, make informed buying decisions, manage our transportation fleet and reconcile the BOL to supplier invoice information all in a single application. This move will allow us to drive additional cost out of the supply chain.
Mike Dahlem, Louisville, Ky.-based TelaPoints president, said, Tucker had previously made a significant financial investment installing automated tank gauges. We look forward to helping them achieve the maximum results from their investment.
TelaFuel is an Internet supply chain software solution that includes Smart Replenishment, Smart Buying and Smart Invoicing. It helps companies realize fewer communication errors with transportation partners, lower fuel inventory and replenishment costs, make better fuel purchasing and pricing decisions and streamline fuel invoice reconciliation, the company said. All TelaPoint customers have secure access through browser-based software applications allowing for timely and accurate communication with their authorized trading partners.
