Case Study: Leading Ethanol Marketer and Producer achieves $12M in added profits with River Logic

Leading Ethanol Marketer and Producing Company - Customer Case Study

A leading ethanol marketer and producer faced an extremely complex logistics, inventory and trading challenge: traders and planners relied on spreadsheets that couldn’t represent cross‑functional constraints, prevented collaboration, and left money on the table. To address this, the company selected River Logic and its commodity trading and logistics/prescriptive analytics solution (an Intelligent Model and cloud workspace) to integrate ERP, TMS and ETRM data and provide a single, forward‑looking planning environment.

River Logic built a digital twin that lets planners and traders optimize transportation schedules, inventory strategies and trade execution in near real time and run unlimited what‑if scenarios. The River Logic implementation uncovered $12 million in immediate profitability improvement opportunities on current contract fulfillment and delivered estimated net‑back gains of $0.01–$0.02 per gallon annually, while improving agility, collaboration and decision‑making across the business.
