Cargas Energy & Tank Monitors
Stop Guessing What’s in Your Customers’ Tanks
How Can Tank Monitors Help Me?
When you know the exact fuel level in your customers’ tanks, you know exactly when you need to deliver. With tank monitors and Cargas Energy, you can plan better routes, avoid small drops and runouts, and always be there when your customers need you.
Manage Inconsistent Tanks
Vacation homes, backup generators, restaurants, and more can have inconsistent fuel usage that can’t be calculated with degree days. Tank monitors help you know exactly when to deliver to those tanks.
Make Worthwhile Trips
It’s costly to deliver to customers in isolated areas. Using tank monitors, you can avoid making a long trip for a small drop.
Improve Delivery Efficiency
With tank monitors, you’ll know exactly when and where to deliver, so you can make fewer stops, increase the size of each drop, and avoid unnecessary stops completely.
Reduce Wear & Tear
When you improve your delivery efficiency, your trucks are on the road for fewer miles, which means less wear and tear and less money needed to maintain them.
Eliminate Runouts
With Cargas Energy, you can set parameters on your monitored tanks to automatically create a delivery ticket when a tank reads a certain level. With this automated process, you can completely eliminate runouts for monitored tanks.
Keep Customers Happy
Most tank monitors come with a mobile app so customers can view their tank levels and track their usage over time. And they’ll notice and appreciate that you always deliver right when they need fuel.

What Customers Are Saying
“Tank monitors allow us to make efficient deliveries for accounts with fluctuating usage patterns, like a dispensing unit at a gas station that fills mainly grill tanks. We also employ tank monitors for residential customers with variable usage patterns who don’t want to call in for propane deliveries, like the owner of a second home with a pool. While we use and appreciate tank monitors, there is a clear cost that comes with the technology that needs to be recovered. Given the potential benefits monitors provide in certain delivery scenarios, every marketer should take the time to educate themselves on the potential benefits versus costs for their operation.”
“Early success of our Tank Monitoring implementation has shown a tremendous upside and ROI. We’ve been able to achieve a 32% reduction in deliveries with monitored tanks compared to last year’s results. As an added benefit, average drop sizes have increased significantly, which helps to maximize our delivery efficiencies.”
How the Integration Works
Cargas Energy’s tank monitor integration allows you to see the level readings of your monitored tanks right in Cargas Energy. Using the Tank Monitor screen, you can view the readings of your monitored tanks, filter them based on level or customer, and create delivery tickets.
It takes about 5 weeks to implement a tank monitor system and integrate it to Cargas Energy. First you’ll need to work with a tank monitor provider to register, purchase, and install your monitors. Then, we’ll use your login info to connect your tank monitor account to Cargas Energy and link the monitor ID numbers to the appropriate tanks in Cargas Energy. Once this is completed, you’ll have the full benefits of the integration.
