On-Site Refueling Helps Global Food and Beverage Distributer Make More Deliveries
Over the years, problems with on-site tank storage had resulted in considerable company exposure and negative attention from environmentalists. Additionally, operations managers faced pressure to improve productivity, and after comprehensive analysis of their distribution teams in action, their focus turned towards minimizing the time drivers spent refuelling, a task which on average amounted to 25 minutes every day via on-site tanks or cardlocks.
Catalina Fuel mobile on-site service enabled 50% of the distributor’s fleet to deliver an extra 4-6 cases of product per day. These extra deliveries maximized the distribution capacity of their existing fleet and reduced the demand to purchase additional delivery vehicles to support growth. Further value included a reduction in overtime hours and a heightened flexibility to handle emergencies and/or rush deliveries, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Catalina Fuels has been a premier fuel supplier for over 15 years, and now provides mobile services to dozens of locations across Southern Ontario
