Case Study: Wakefield Canada saves money and increases efficiency with SkyBitz Tank Monitoring

SkyBitz Tank Monitoring helps Wakefield Canada Save Money & Increase Efficiencies

Wakefield Canada, a company servicing the automotive aftermarket, faced a challenge managing inventory for its new Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) product, H2Blu. Their diverse customers had fluctuating demand, making it difficult to prevent stockouts without costly emergency deliveries. Wakefield needed a way to gain reliable, real-time data on its remote storage tanks to drive an efficient replenishment process and turned to vendor SkyBitz for its Tank Monitoring solution.

SkyBitz provided its remote Tank Monitoring system, which uses telemetry hardware and the SMARTank online portal to deliver real-time data on tank levels, location, and temperature. This solution allowed Wakefield to assume inventory management for its clients, guaranteeing supply. The results included significantly reduced distribution costs through larger, fewer deliveries and the virtual elimination of emergency drops. SkyBitz's temperature monitoring also protected the product in cold climates.
