Case Study: Solar Transport achieves doubled growth, real‑time ETAs and $2.5M customer savings with Trimble's TMW.Suite - Fuel

Solar Transport - Customer Case Study

Solar Transport, a Des Moines–based fuel carrier operating 250 trucks and handling about 850 daily loads, faced growing pains as an outdated dispatch system and poor data undermined accurate delivery ETAs and in‑ground inventory management. Frequent exceptions—extended terminal lines and allocation issues—were damaging customer service just as the company pursued aggressive, sustained revenue growth.

Implementing TMW.Suite - Fuel with Trimble’s mobile communications automated order-to-dispatch, forecasting and reporting, enabling up‑to‑the‑minute ETAs and virtually eliminating manual entry as 85% of customers adopted the Inventory Services console. The results include one customer saving more than $2.5M, a 35% increase in detention‑time billing revenue, and Solar more than doubling in size without adding back‑office headcount, with plans to double revenue again by 2021.
