Work · Fuel distribution

See the tank running low before the customer calls.

A usage forecast for every tank. A proposed delivery before it runs dry. A dispatcher still makes the call.

Before

A dry tank meant a scramble.

Phone calls, spreadsheets, and a dispatcher rebuilding the day by hand. Deliveries were planned by hand, so trucks either arrived too early or too late.

What we built

The forecast gives a range rather than a single number, so dispatchers can see which tanks are certain and which need a closer look. The system handles the routine. People handle the exceptions.

  1. 01 A usage forecast for each tank, with a confidence range
  2. 02 A proposed delivery—truck, terminal, and customer—before the tank runs low
  3. 03 A dispatcher who approves the plan or overrides it

Same kind of problem?

Bring the stockout and the scramble it causes.
