Case Study: Blue Rhino achieves faster emergency tank runs with Mapbox

Blue Rhino - Customer Case Study

Blue Rhino helps grillers avoid a party-stopping problem: when a propane tank runs out, you need to find and reach a retailer fast. The challenge was to make emergency tank runs painless by surfacing the best nearby pickup options based on real driving time.

Using Mapbox Studio and APIs, Blue Rhino built a branded Propane Finder that geocodes your address or zip code, highlights nearby retailers, ranks them by drive time with the Mapbox Matrix API, and provides turn-by-turn Directions you can send to your phone. The result: quick, drive-time–optimized pickup suggestions so you can get back to the party faster.
