The
Challenge
“Our field people historically had a route, just like a
paper route, and they’d drive that every day,” recalls
Dallas. “If they found a problem at 4:00, they’d have
to get the service rig or phone the office or get the
plumber or whatever.” According to Dallas, the old
system was remarkably inefficient: “Your best manpower would be
driving around the countryside trying to find out if there might be
a problem.”
The
Solution
For Duce Oil, Site.link service has changed
all that. “It lets you sleep at night because you don’t
have to worry about tanks running over,” says Dallas, “but
that’s just the simple thing. You can do anything with Site.link.
We have a location that is near a river that you can’t get to
in the winter. We monitor it on the television screen and if the tanks
get too full, we can stop and start the pumps right from here.”
Efficiencies like this have helped create some significant savings with
Site.link—“Truck expense, fuel,
labour, time,” lists Dallas. From a competitive perspective, Dallas
is astounded by what Site.link service has
done for him. “As long as I’ve got access to the Internet,
I’ve got access to the data. I can be in Hawaii. This puts us
10 steps ahead of everybody else. I really don’t understand why
every oil company isn’t doing this.”
