Petroleum Distributor adds Portable Data
Collectors
Using
Apex III Portable Data
Terminals, the petroleum distributor is able to eliminate paper work
and speed up the delivery, reporting and invoicing process.
January
17, 2002
The
Distributor entered the following data into the MS Access
Database:
When all
of the data for all of the customers is in the database, the data is
then downloaded to the Portable Data Terminals
All data
for all customers is in all of the Portable Data Terminals,
eliminating the need for separate terminals for each customer.
Customers
and Customer Vehicles are identified with the use of barcodes on
delivery reports and vehicles.
The
delivery drivers then take the Portable Data Terminals with them, to
capture the amount of fuel dispensed to each vehicle. The total
amount dispensed by customer and the invoice is computed by the
Portable Data Terminal at the end of the delivery cycle.
At the
end of the day, the delivery driver returned to the office and
uploaded his deliveries into the database.
By
eliminating the need for written tickets and manual data entry, the
Petroleum Distributor is able to provide his customers with the
following reports, which were faxed to the customer, upon request
without generating any paperwork.
-
Daily Usage Reports by Vehicle
-
Weekly Usage Reports by Vehicle
-
Monthly Usage Reports by Vehicle
As new
vehicles were added to the customers fleet, the Portable Data
Terminals would inform the office of the new vehicle and that data
is added to the database.
The Distributor stated that they
realized their ROI within four months.
