Your Day-To-Day Pain Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg

You may think that replacing your current antiquated solution isn’t worth the cost. But the truth is, there’s so much more going on underneath the surface that you may not be aware of. So the question now is:  Do you know what your current solution is really costing you every day?

It Didn’t Always Used To Be This Way…

Let’s face it, the fuel industry has changed so much in the past decade. The days of steady margins are long gone.

Volatility: The Name Of The Game

All of us remember the good ol’ days where fuel margins were both significant and predictable, and you might change your prices three times in a single year. Today, volatility is indeed the name of the game, where uncertain commodity prices are the norm and sometimes you are forced to adjust multiple times daily.

It’s No Longer Enough

Because of this, it’s no longer enough to be content with inefficiencies caused by an old and bloated software solution that wasn’t designed to handle the modern reality of the industry.

You need a software that’s designed with volatility in mind.  You need a software package that will help you make smart decisions, reduce inefficiencies, and react quickly in navigating the rough seas of fluctuating commodities.

How Do You Measure Up?

When it comes to assessing your company’s performance, do you know how you’re really performing, or is it just based on an estimate and a hunch? Does your software provide you with the tools to measure and analyze your performance in the following three areas?

Delivery Performance

Measure The Cost Of Operation

Use Software To Improve Performance

$53. That’s how much additional cost your company is paying per customer for not delivering as efficiently as you can. With the industry average of 140 gallon drop size, it will take 1.5 extra stops to fill a 275 gallon tank per year. This cost quickly adds up, especially in the middle of a busy winter where ensuring optimal drop size becomes paramount.

Cost Per Truck

That Truck Sure Ain’t Cheap

It’s not exactly cheap to run a delivery truck, so maximizing your capacity and driving down your truck count is of the utmost importance in reducing excess cost. Measure performance on a per truck basis, and figure out if your routes and delivery zones are constructed in a profitable way.

Margins? We’re Talking About Margins?

Understanding your margins has traditionally been the most under-utilized measuring point, when it’s possibly one of the most important numbers to know.

January
April

No, You Can’t Make It Up

20. That’s how many days in April you’ll have to be above your margins to make up a single day in January that you’re below your target. Many dealers think they can make up an off day easily, when the reality is that they’ll quickly run out of demand once the weather warms up. This means that understanding future demands and being able to quickly make adjustments is crucial in meeting your target margin.

Can Your Software Do This?

This is where Real-Time Mobile comes in. With it, price updates are immediately dispatched to all your drivers delivering in the field, ensuring all your customers to be getting the absolute latest price within minutes of a price change. Without it, you’re left with outdated prices and will fall below your target margin before you even take your lunch break.

Delivery Trucks 60 %
Back Office Users 100 %

How Many Do You Really Need?

With an inefficient software solution, you’ll be struggling to meet your customer demands during the peak heating season, and you’ll be forced to hire more people just to barely keep up. With the right solution, you can bring down the industry average of 1.75:1 back office users-to-trucks ratio to a 1:1 ratio.
