A Datacor Case Study
Huber Supply Company, a family-owned welding and gas distributor, faced significant challenges in managing its fleet of over 30,000 cylinders. Using two disconnected systems led to a lack of a single source of truth, causing manual reconciliation work, lost assets, and inaccurate billing that threatened customer trust. This prompted them to seek a solution from vendor Datacor and its TrackAbout cylinder tracking product.
Datacor implemented TrackAbout, which required an initial investment in barcode tagging but enabled every asset movement to be captured via scan. The solution was so integral that Huber even replaced its ERP to enable direct API integration. The results were substantial: a 75% reduction in gas return processing time, a dramatic improvement in billing accuracy, and the recovery of $30,000 in assets within the first year.
