How does Fuel Dispatch Work?

1

Orders are received from the customer OR generated by the Fuel Dispatch system based on routes, schedules, inventory levels, and/or degree days.

2

The dispatcher creates trips, containing one or more orders, and assigns haulers/drivers, trucks and trailers to each trip. 

3

Fuel Dispatch plots the trips to align pickup and deliveries with the most cost-effective route available. 

4

Orders can be sent to drivers in multiple ways.  

a. Via the Fuel Dispatch mobile app 

b. A report that can be picked up or emailed. 

5

As the driver picks up and delivers the product(s), the mobile app logs the date/time of the pickups and deliveries, along with the quantity and product. It generates delivery tickets on demand. Delivery tickets can be printed and/or emailed. 

6

The mobile app updates the Fuel Dispatch software with completed deliveries. 

7

Once the dispatch office verifies the accuracy of the completed deliveries, they are uploaded to Commander.  

8

Commander generates bills of lading with the correct drops. 

9

Commander updates inventory for bulk plants, c-stores, cardlocks, and consigned locations. 

10

Commander creates and distributes invoices for direct drop accounts.

“Commander’s Business Intelligence Dashboard is truly one of the best managerial tools I have ever seen or used. At a glance, I can spot trouble areas, observe pricing trends and margins, customer sales volumes and receivable problems to name just a few. The instant graphs and bars of current and historical information alone would sometimes take me hours or even days to do. The value this tool has brought to our business is priceless.”
