Case Study: Marathon Petroleum Corporation achieves automated inventory normalization and faster reconciliation with DTN TIMS

Marathon Petroleum Corporation - Customer Case Study

Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s San Antonio division faced a slow, error-prone back-office reconciliation process: terminal reports arrived in varied formats and staff manually entered data into SAP, delaying visibility into inventory positions. To address this, Marathon turned to DTN and implemented DTN TIMS, a real-time terminal inventory management solution to automatically collect and normalize terminal data.

DTN’s DTN TIMS now aggregates, normalizes and delivers terminal and pipeline inventory data directly into Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s back-office system with no human intervention, enabling faster detection of missing transactions and more frequent matching of bills of lading to SAP. The result is streamlined reconciliation, quicker invoicing and payments, improved vendor relationships, and a scalable process that won’t require extra team effort as volume grows — all delivered by DTN.
