A DTN Case Study
Sapp Brothers Petroleum - Customer Case Study
Sapp Brothers Petroleum, Inc., of Ogallala, Nebraska, is a wholesale petroleum distributor delivering about 2 million gallons a month to 16 Sapp Brothers truck stops, independent stations and many farm customers across Colorado, Wyoming and western Nebraska. Faced with volatile markets and supplier pricing that was delayed by 30 minutes, Sapp Brothers needed real‑time market information and subscribed to DTN’s DTN Fuel Buyer® service.
DTN’s Fuel Buyer provided live rack, spot and market data plus industry news so Sapp Brothers could monitor price movements throughout the day and set evening pricing with confidence. With DTN Fuel Buyer, daily price-prep time fell from three hours to about 30 minutes, Sapp Brothers can deliver same‑day prices, has been able to bid consistently 2–3 cents under competitors, and has realized improved margins and increased business.
