Updates on Kii Tank Management

Manage Fuel Prices From Request to Confirmation

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Kii Tank Management has long detected fuel price changes at each site and kept a history of posted prices. Pricing teams can now take the next step: change prices, and see every change through from request to confirmation. Partner systems have been able to send price changes through the Kii Integration Gateway since April 2026; the same capability is now in the dashboard itself.

What Is New

Current prices at a glance — a Pricing tab on each site shows the current price for every grade and payment type, with recent changes marked and the time prices were last observed
Edit and submit in one step — authorized users adjust prices or add a price for a grade, and only the rows that changed are submitted to the site’s POS
Tracked through to confirmation — each request is listed with who submitted it and its status until the site confirms that the change has been applied; a request the site rejects is shown with the reason, and changes made through other authorized channels are identified

Only the prices that changed are submitted to the site.

Every request is tracked until the site applies it, and rejections show the reason.

Why It Matters

Pricing directives move from decision to pump without phone calls or site visits, and every change leaves an audit trail: who requested it, when, and whether the site applied it. Price management is enabled per site for sites with POS integration.

Daily POS Close Reports for Every Site

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

At the end of each business day, the site’s POS produces a set of close reports: the official record of fuel, merchandise, and payment activity for that day. Collecting them usually means signing in to back-office systems one store at a time.

What Is New

Close reports in one place — the day-level close reports received from each site’s POS are listed for any date range, with the time each one was received
Completeness at a glance — each close shows the report sections it contains, and closes missing expected sections are flagged before reconciliation begins
PDF download — any close can be downloaded as a single PDF covering all of its sections, from fuel and dispenser reports to department and network summaries

Each close downloads as one PDF with all of its sections.

Why It Matters

Back-office teams can confirm that every site closed its day with complete data and retrieve the official figures without contacting the store, which shortens daily reconciliation across the network.

Reconcile Deliveries Against the Bill of Lading

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The tank gauge measures what arrived. The Bill of Lading records what was billed. When the two disagree, inventory records need to reflect the documented amount without losing the measurement.

What Is New

Attach a Bill of Lading to a delivery — on underground tanks, the documented volume replaces the measured volume, while the original sensor value is preserved
Add missed deliveries — deliveries the automatic tank gauge did not register can be recorded from the BOL, with an optional scanned document
Reversible corrections — any correction can be reverted, and corrected values carry through to fill event exports

The BOL amount replaces the measured volume; the sensor value is preserved.

Why It Matters

Delivery records now match the paperwork the business pays against, with a clear trail back to what the gauge measured. Reconciliation, carrier questions, and inventory audits are faster to resolve.

Scheduled Reports and Sharper Analytics

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The information a team needs every morning should arrive on its own, without anyone logging in to pull it.

What Is New

User-scheduled inventory reports — each user can schedule tank inventory reports by email hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, choosing the days, time zone, and recipients
Organization oversight — administrators can review and manage the report schedules of every user in their organization, with the result of each run
Organization-wide reports — hourly sales data, tank inventory, and daily sales by product, including average price, can be scheduled for an organization alongside non-compliance notifications; these are configured by the Kii team
Scheduled environmental reports — environmental reports for each underground system can be emailed daily, weekly, or monthly in the selected time zone, in addition to on-demand reports; these are also configured by the Kii team
Analytics reports, reorganized — Fill Event Reports and Potential Savings Reports are separated, and the category filter can select every tank category at once
Complete exports — report exports include the summary row and full category headers, and fill event times follow the local time zone of the user

Organization reports run on their own schedules, with the result of each run.

Sales by Product is emailed daily at the selected time.

Non-compliance notifications go to the listed recipients.

Why It Matters

Inventory positions, sales figures, and compliance reports reach dispatchers, managers, and partners on their own schedule, and the analytics that quantify delivery efficiency and savings are easier to run and share across the whole fleet.

POS Sales Data, Down to the Individual Transaction

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

POS sales data has long been part of Kii Tank Management, from fuel sales by grade to payment mix and in-store merchandise. The latest release takes it down to the individual transaction.

What Is New

Every transaction of the store day — individual POS transactions are listed with their amounts and taxes, searchable by transaction or reference number and filterable to fuel or card transactions
Line-by-line detail — each transaction opens with its line items, department, fuel grade, and fueling position
Tender and card detail — tenders and card operations are shown for each transaction, with status indicators such as suspended, recalled, and prepaid
CSV export — transactions can be exported to CSV with full detail for audit and exception review

Every transaction of the store day, searchable and exportable.

Fuel sales record the grade, the fueling position, and the tender.

In-store sales record each item with its department.

Why It Matters

Operators can move from a site’s daily totals to the transactions behind them without leaving the platform, investigate exceptions, and support audits without requesting records from the store.

The Kii Integration Gateway: Connect Partner Systems Securely

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fuel prices are rarely decided at the station. They come from pricing engines, back-office platforms, and supply partners, and moving those decisions to the pump has typically meant manual entry at every site or a custom integration for every system. Those same systems also depend on data from the sites: detected price changes, POS files, reports, and operational events.

The Kii Integration Gateway gives those systems a single, secure way in and out.

Event History and Acknowledgment for Every Tank and System

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Alarm history has long been part of Kii Tank Management. Recent releases bring every event for a tank or underground system together in one place and add a clear record of who has reviewed it.

What Is New

One Events tab — each tank and underground system gathers its full event history in a single view, filtered by source (the system or its gateway) and by health events or all events
Operational descriptions — each event opens with a plain-language message, with the technical details available when they are needed
Acknowledgment — events can be acknowledged directly from the event details, recording that each one has been reviewed

Each event reads in plain language, with the technical details a click away.

Why It Matters

When something happens at a site, operators need to know what happened, when, and whether anyone has looked at it. Teams now share one record of each site’s events and their review status, which supports follow-up, handovers between shifts, and compliance documentation.

Radar Level Sensors for Above-Ground Tanks

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Above-ground tanks come in many shapes and sizes and hold many different products, and no single sensing method suits them all. Radar measures the product level without touching it, which suits tanks where contact sensors are impractical.

What Is New

Radar level sensors — above-ground tanks can be monitored with best-in-class radar level sensors, including their measurement-quality readings
Battery level at a glance — sensor battery level is shown as a percentage in the tank list, so replacements can be planned before a sensor stops reporting
Tuned for each installation — sensor measurement profiles are set by the Kii team for each tank

Why It Matters

Operators can choose the sensing method that suits each tank and product while keeping every tank in the same dashboard, with battery status visible across the fleet.

Connect Tank Gauges Over the Network

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Many stations already have their automatic tank gauge on the site network. Running a dedicated serial cable to reach it adds installation work that the network makes unnecessary.

What Is New

A choice of connection — each underground system can connect to its automatic tank gauge over the network, or through the traditional RS-232 serial connection
Set up with the system — the connection type, address, and port are entered when the system is onboarded or its connection is updated
Same command set either way — the ATG command set, such as Veeder-Root TLS-350, is selected the same way for both connection types

Why It Matters

Sites with network-connected tank gauges can be brought onto the platform without serial cabling, which simplifies installation and makes use of infrastructure that is already in place.

See Why Each Tank Is Compliant, or Not

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Environmental compliance has long been a core part of Kii Tank Management, with leak test, CSLD, and sensor results collected from every connected underground system and summarized on the Environmental Dashboard. The dashboard now goes a step further: it evaluates every tank and explains the result.

What Is New

A status for every tank — each underground tank is evaluated as compliant, non-compliant, or not applicable, with a total for each status
Filter by status — the dashboard can be narrowed to the non-compliant tanks alone, so attention goes to them first
The reason behind every status — expanding a tank lists the sensor and leak detection results that determine its status; a failing result shows why, and a passing tank shows which leak detection methods passed

Why It Matters

Compliance staff can move directly from an out-of-compliance status to the sensor that caused it and schedule the right service, and they can confirm at a glance why every other tank passed.

Introducing the Sales Dashboard

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Not every site in a portfolio has an automatic tank gauge connected to Kii, but every site has sales. The new Sales Dashboard brings them together.

What Is New

One list of every site with sales integration — including sales-only sites without tank monitoring
Reporting status at a glance — the time each site last delivered a POS report, so missing data is identified early
Full sales detail for each site — the same sales views, fuel grade mapping, event history, and document storage available for monitored sites
Direct links between a site’s sales view and its underground system, where one exists

Why It Matters

Sales teams and operators can follow the performance of the entire network from one place. Sites without tank monitoring are no longer outside the picture.

Fuel Price History and Trends at Every Site

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Pricing decisions depend on knowing what was actually posted at the pump, and when. Kii Tank Management now keeps that record automatically for every site with sales integration.

What Is New

Price change history — each fuel price change reported by the site’s POS, with its local date and time, by grade, service level, and payment tier
Latest prices or a full period — view the current posted prices, or every change within a chosen period, and download the list to CSV
Price trend chart — any price opens a chart of how it moved over a selected period, with the underlying data available for download

Every posted price can be charted over any period.

Why It Matters

Pricing teams can confirm that changes reached the store, review how posted prices moved against sales volume, and investigate discrepancies without requesting reports from the site. The price record sits alongside fuel sales and inventory, so pricing can be evaluated in the context of what each site sold.

In-Store Merchandise Sales Alongside Fuel

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Fuel brings customers to the site, but in-store sales often decide how profitable a site is. Seeing only fuel leaves half of the store’s performance out of view.

What Is New

Sales by department — in-store and fuel sales by POS department, with quantities, dollars, discounts, and refunds
Sales by item — individual items sold, for a closer look at what drives each department
Sales by card — in-store sales broken down by payment card

In-store sales can be viewed by department, by item, or by card.

Why It Matters

Operators can see how each site performs as a complete retail operation, and which sites turn fuel traffic into in-store revenue.

Transaction Receipts by Card, Tender, and Fuel Grade

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Knowing how customers pay matters as much as knowing what they buy. Card fees, tender mix, and card-driven volume all shape margins at the pump.

What Is New

Receipts by fuel grade — POS receipts summarized by grade for the selected period
Receipts by tender and grade — cash, credit, and other tenders broken down by fuel grade
Receipts by card and grade — volume and dollars by card type, with the grade breakdown for each card
All sales by card — every sales transaction grouped by card

Why It Matters

Pricing and finance teams can see the payment mix and card-driven volume at each site without exporting raw POS data.

Fuel Sales on the Store's Business Day

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A sales report is only useful when it agrees with the store’s own books. When reporting periods do not line up with the store’s business day, every daily comparison requires manual adjustment.

What Is New

The store’s business day — sales can be reported from store close to store close, from store open, or by calendar day, in each store’s local time zone
Dollar sales by fuel grade — sales value is shown for each grade alongside volume, with the retail product behind each grade
Date ranges across sales screens — a date range selector applies across the sales views

Why It Matters

Fuel sales in Kii match the figures the store reports, so sites can be compared and reconciled without adjusting for time zones or reporting cut-offs.

Manage Manifolded Tanks as One System

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Many stations connect two or more underground tanks with a manifold so that they hold the same product and draw down together. Monitored as unrelated tanks, each one tells only part of the story.

What Is New

Manifold setup — tanks connected by a manifold can be grouped into a single manifolded system for the site, and the grouping can be removed if the installation changes
Clear indication in tank lists — tank lists show which tanks belong to a manifold
Reconciliation support — monthly inventory reconciliation supports manifolded systems
Administrator control — manifold setup is available at sites with at least two tanks and is managed by administrators

Why It Matters

Sites with manifolded tanks are set up the way they are built, which keeps tank lists and reconciliation reports consistent with the physical installation.

Monthly Inventory Reconciliation for Every Site

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Inventory reconciliation compares what a site sold with what left its tanks. Assembling the inputs by hand, from gauge readings, delivery records, and sales, is time-consuming and inconsistent from site to site.

What Is New

Monthly reconciliation per site — reconciliation reports are generated from the site’s tank inventory, delivery, and POS sales data
Fuel grade mapping — each POS fuel grade is mapped to the tanks that supply it, so sales are attributed to the right tanks
Retail product catalog — POS retail products are linked to tank products for consistent naming across sales and inventory
Custom date ranges — reports can also be run for a custom period ending up to two days before the current date, so the underlying data is complete

Why It Matters

Reconciliation inputs are assembled automatically from monitored data, which gives operations and loss-prevention teams a consistent, repeatable view of variance at every site.

Bring Point-of-Sale Data Into the Tank Monitoring View

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Tank inventory shows what is in the ground, and the point of sale shows what left it. Operators who see only one side cannot tell whether a change in inventory reflects sales, deliveries, or a problem.

What Is New

POS connection per site — each underground system can be connected to its point-of-sale system over secured channels
Fuel sales — volume sold by fuel grade is shown for each site, with trend charts
Dollar sales — sales value by payment card type is shown alongside volume
Totalizers — dispenser totalizer readings are available for each site
Flexible periods — sales can be reviewed for a chosen start and end date and time

Fuel sales by grade, with the day's totals.

Why It Matters

Sales and inventory can be read side by side for each station, which is the starting point for reconciliation and for understanding how each site performs.

Kii and PDI Technologies Announce New Reseller Agreement

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

ATLANTA, GA — April 4, 2024 — PDI Technologies, a global leader delivering powerful solutions and insights that serve as the backbone of the convenience retail and petroleum wholesale ecosystem, has announced a reseller agreement with Kii Corporation, the leaders in petroleum tank management, to deepen the relationship among the two companies.

Working through their PDI account teams, PDI Wholesale customers can now leverage the enterprise-grade platform offered by Kii for the petroleum market.

Add Custom Fields to Tanks and Sites

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Every organization tracks information that a standard tank record does not include, such as account numbers, cost centers, or contract references.

What Is New

Organization-defined parameters — administrators define a set of custom parameters for their organization
On every asset form — custom parameters appear on the onboarding and edit screens for above-ground tanks and underground systems
In the dashboard and exports — values are shown in the tank list and included in CSV downloads

Why It Matters

Tank data carries the identifiers the business already uses, so exports can be matched to other systems without a separate lookup.

Keep Site Documents With the Site

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Permits, inspection certificates, and installation records are needed the moment a question comes up about a site, and they are rarely where they are needed.

What Is New

File uploads per underground system — documents can be uploaded to each underground system and downloaded by authorized users

Why It Matters

Site records are available next to the monitoring data they relate to, which speeds up inspections and support calls.

See Compliance Status Across Every Site on One Screen

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Retrieving reports one site at a time does not answer the question a compliance manager asks each morning: which sites have a problem today?

What Is New

All systems in one view — every underground system is listed with its latest environmental report results by report type, marked as pass or fail
Non-compliance highlighted — systems with failing results are identified so that attention goes to them first
Action from the dashboard — the latest report can be requested from a site directly from the dashboard, and report PDFs can be downloaded
Gateway contact time — the last contact time for each gateway is shown, so a missing report can be distinguished from a failed one

Why It Matters

Compliance managers start each day with a single list of the sites that need attention, instead of checking each system individually.

Accurate Volumes for Non-Standard Tanks

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Volume calculations assume a standard tank geometry. Tanks with unusual shapes need their own geometry so that a level reading converts to the correct volume.

What Is New

Custom tank shapes — non-standard tank shapes can be defined with their name, capacity, and height
Available at onboarding — defined shapes can be assigned when a tank is added or edited, alongside the standard shapes

Why It Matters

Tanks that do not fit a standard shape still report accurate volumes, so inventory and delivery figures remain trustworthy across the fleet. Custom shapes are configured by the Kii team.

Retrieve Environmental Compliance Reports From Every Site

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Leak detection and compliance records are held in the automatic tank gauge at each station. Collecting them usually means a site visit or a remote session to each console, followed by manual filing.

What Is New

On-demand ATG reports — in-tank leak test results, including continuous statistical leak detection, leak test history, in-tank alarm history, and delivery reports can be requested from the ATG at any time
Line and sensor reports — volumetric and pressure line leak test results and histories, line leak alarm history, and liquid sensor status and alarm history are available for each system
System status report — the overall ATG system status is available alongside the other reports
PDF output — every report can be downloaded as a PDF that includes the site address, ready for inspection files
Current inventory on request — the latest inventory can be requested from the ATG without waiting for the next scheduled reading
Sensor mapping — ATG sensors are mapped to the tanks they monitor, so sensor results are reported against the right tank

Why It Matters

Compliance documentation for every underground system is available from one place, which shortens audit preparation and reduces the need for site visits to retrieve records.

Organize Tanks and Sites With Tags

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

As a fleet grows, a flat list of tanks stops being useful. Tanks need to be grouped the way the business thinks about them, by region, customer, route, or product, and filtered by those groups.

What Is New

Tags and categories — tanks, underground systems, and users can be assigned to tags, and tags are organized into categories
Tag filters — the dashboard and lists can be filtered by one or more tags, and filter choices are remembered between visits
Bulk assignment — many tanks can be assigned to a tag in one step
Tags page — administrators manage tags, categories, and their assigned tanks, sites, and users from one page

Why It Matters

Teams see only the tanks that are relevant to them, and managers can report by region or customer without maintaining separate lists.

Receive Inventory Reports by Email

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Not everyone who depends on tank inventory logs in to a dashboard. Managers, customers, and partners often need a regular report delivered to their inbox.

What Is New

Email reports for underground systems — inventory reports can be sent to a list of email addresses for each underground system
Scheduled delivery — reports are sent on a schedule, at a selectable time of day
Selectable content — recipients receive the columns that matter to them, including fill levels, with the tank name included by default

Why It Matters

Stakeholders receive current inventory without logging in, which extends the value of monitoring to people outside the operations team.

Display Volumes in Gallons or Barrels

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Not every operation measures product in gallons. Operators that account for inventory in barrels need the dashboard to use the same unit as the rest of their business.

What Is New

Barrel display — volumes, capacities, and fills can be shown in barrels for organizations that work in barrels
Consistent units — tank lists, underground systems, and delivery totals use the organization’s unit, including barrels filled in analytics

Why It Matters

Reports match the unit the business already uses, which removes conversion steps and the errors they introduce.

Share Tank Inventory Data With PDI

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Fuel distributors that run their business on PDI need tank inventory in the same system they use for dispatch and billing. Re-entering readings by hand introduces delays and errors.

What Is New

Site and tank mapping — underground systems and tanks are mapped to the corresponding PDI site and tank identifiers
Scheduled inventory exports — tank inventory is exported to PDI on a schedule for each organization
Latest-reading option — an organization can choose to send only the most recent reading for each tank

Why It Matters

Inventory in PDI stays current without manual entry, so dispatch and replenishment decisions use the same numbers the monitoring platform reports. Exports are configured by the Kii team for each organization.

GPS Location History and On-Demand Location Requests

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Periodic position reports are not always enough when a tank needs to be found. Dispatchers need the latest position on request and a record of where the asset has been reported.

What Is New

GPS location history — each GPS-enabled tank lists its recently reported locations
On-demand location request — authorized users can ask the device to report its current position

Why It Matters

Mobile assets can be located when they are needed, rather than at the next scheduled report.

Kii Launches Next Generation Smart Tank Monitoring Solution for Underground Storage Tanks

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000

SAN MATEO, CA — Kii, an Internet of Things technology leader and Cisco portfolio company, has introduced a next-generation smart monitoring solution for Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) in the retail gasoline and oil sector.

Closing a Long-Standing Gap

The petroleum retail industry has long relied on outdated methods — including daily faxes and phone calls — to track critical tank data. These practices create inconsistent fuel inventory management, frequently resulting in empty tanks and lost business.

Broader Sensor Coverage for Above-Ground Tanks

Wed, 20 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Above-ground tanks vary widely in size, shape, contents, and location. Operators need one platform that supports the sensor suited to each application, instead of a separate system for each.

What Is New

Additional level sensor families — the platform supports additional above-ground level sensors, including best-in-class cellular sensors with years of battery life
Configurable reporting schedules — reading and reporting intervals are configured per sensor by the Kii team, balancing data freshness against battery life
Water level and temperature sensors — sensor types for water level and temperature are supported, each with suitable alarm thresholds

Why It Matters

One dashboard covers a wider range of tanks and products, including non-petroleum applications, which reduces the number of systems an operations team has to maintain.

Export Tank Data to CSV

Wed, 20 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Tank data often needs to reach spreadsheets, billing systems, and customer reports. Copying values from screens is slow and error-prone.

What Is New

Tank list export — the tank list can be downloaded as CSV, with the user choosing which columns to include
Chart data download — the data behind trend charts can be downloaded from the tank detail page
Usage in exports — exports include 7-day and 30-day average daily usage

Why It Matters

Tank data moves into the tools the business already uses without re-keying, so downstream reports stay consistent with the monitoring platform.

Forecast When Each Tank Will Run Out

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Knowing the current level answers only half the question. Dispatch needs to know when each tank will need product, based on how fast it is actually being used.

What Is New

Days to empty — each tank shows an estimate of the days remaining before it runs out, based on its recent consumption
Average daily usage — 7-day and 30-day average daily usage is shown for above-ground and underground tanks and included in downloads and email reports
Run-out summary — analytics summarize which tanks are expected to run out within the selected period

Why It Matters

Deliveries can be planned against expected run-out dates rather than fixed schedules, which reduces both emergency deliveries and unnecessary stops.

See Fleet Status at a Glance on the Map

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000

A list of hundreds of tanks does not show where problems are concentrated. A map that groups tanks by status shows at a glance which areas need attention.

What Is New

Status clusters — nearby tanks are grouped on the map, and each cluster shows the mix of tank statuses it contains
Drill-down from the map — selecting a cluster or a status opens the matching tanks in the list
Dashboard summary — the dashboard summarizes tank counts by status in both the list and map views
Customer grouping — tanks can be grouped by customer in the list, with groups that expand and collapse

Why It Matters

Supervisors can identify regional issues quickly and move from an overview to the affected tanks in one step.

Measure Delivery Efficiency With Fill Event and Potential Savings Reports

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Every delivery has a cost, and delivering to a tank that is still half full spreads that cost over fewer gallons. Distributors need to see how full tanks were when they were filled, and what better timing would be worth.

What Is New

Fill Event Reports — deliveries across all tanks are summarized for a selected period, with fill counts, average fill volume, and pre-fill and post-fill levels
Fill efficiency on the dashboard — each tank shows how efficiently it is being filled, and the list can be filtered by efficiency
Potential Savings Reports — an estimate of the savings from delivering at an optimal pre-fill level, based on the average cost per delivery transaction
Usage metrics — reports include 7-day and 30-day average daily usage, days between fills, and last month’s usage
CSV download — report data can be downloaded for further analysis

Why It Matters

Delivery performance becomes measurable, which lets distributors adjust delivery schedules with a clear view of the savings at stake.

Set Alarm Thresholds for Each Tank

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

A single alarm level does not fit every tank. A small tank at a busy site needs an earlier warning than a large tank that is drawn down slowly, and the people who respond need to be told in a way they will see.

What Is New

Per-tank thresholds — critical and warning levels are set for each tank during onboarding and can be edited later, starting from default values
Water level thresholds — tanks with water level sensors carry their own critical and warning limits
Notification preferences — each user chooses email or text message (SMS) delivery, and technicians and observers are notified for the tanks assigned to them
Muted notifications — notifications for a tank can be muted for selected users
Delivery and inventory emails — users can opt in to emails for fill events, sudden level increases or drops, and tanks that have stopped reporting new inventory

Why It Matters

Alarms reach the right people through the right channel at levels that suit each tank, which reduces both missed run-outs and unnecessary call-outs.

Connect Underground Tanks Through the Automatic Tank Gauge

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Underground storage tanks are already instrumented by the automatic tank gauge (ATG), but that data typically stays at the site. Operators need inventory and alarm information from every station without visiting the console.

What Is New

Underground system onboarding — a site gateway is registered with its ATG connection settings, and the tanks reported by the ATG appear under the underground system
Underground systems list — every site is listed with its connected tanks, status, location, and the time of the last gateway contact
ATG alarms — open and cleared ATG alarms are shown for each system, and alarm and alert notifications can be enabled or disabled per system
Near-real-time updates — authorized users can open a live connection to a site so that tank readings refresh in near-real-time

Why It Matters

Inventory and alarm data from Veeder-Root and compatible ATGs becomes available centrally, so operators can supervise every station from one place and respond to alarms without a site visit.

Detect Deliveries Automatically

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Delivery records are only as reliable as the paperwork and phone calls behind them. When deliveries are detected from the level readings themselves, inventory history reflects what actually arrived in the tank.

What Is New

Fill events for underground tanks — deliveries reported by the ATG are listed on each tank with their time and volume
Fill events for above-ground tanks — level increases measured by above-ground sensors are recorded as fill events, together with the fill height
Recent delivery history — each tank detail page shows its most recent fill dates
Delivery history download — fill history can be downloaded for record keeping and analysis

Why It Matters

Delivery history is captured without manual entry, giving dispatch and accounting a consistent record of when each tank was filled and by how much.

Follow Mobile Assets Along Their Routes

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Some tanks do not stay in one place. Portable and trailer-mounted tanks move between sites, and knowing where they are matters as much as knowing how full they are.

What Is New

Current location — the latest reported position of a mobile asset is shown on a map in its detail page
Route tracking — the path an asset has traveled is displayed on the map for a selected period

Why It Matters

Operators can locate mobile tanks and review where they have been, which reduces the time spent finding equipment in the field.

Monitor Above-Ground Tank Levels From a Single Dashboard

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Above-ground tanks are often spread across many customer sites, and checking levels by hand or by phone leaves dispatch and inventory decisions based on stale information. A central view of every tank is the foundation for scheduling deliveries before tanks run low.

What Is New

Guided tank onboarding — tanks are registered with their sensor, location, capacity, shape, and product, so readings are converted into volumes from the first report
Tank list with fill status — every tank is listed with its fill level, current volume, ullage, and a combined status, with filters, search, and configurable columns
Tank detail pages — each tank has a detail page with its latest readings, a level history chart, and Previous and Next controls to move through the list
Product catalog — tank contents are selected from a managed list of products, so reports and filters use consistent product names
Automatic refresh — the dashboard and tank details can refresh on a schedule, so the view stays current during the day

Why It Matters

Operations teams see the level of every monitored tank in one place, which replaces manual checks and gives dispatch a reliable starting point for delivery planning.
