Welcome to the second edition of our R&D blog series – a collection of blogs with a focus on our commitment to providing continuous enhancements and the best software in the industry. Our development philosophy is consistent – we listen to our clients, the true experts in the field, and we think you’ll agree that this makes for solutions that are right on target.
When we ask our clients what their goals are, the top five always include delivering excellent customer service and maximum efficiency. Our latest enhancements to our Dispatch Monitor in combination with Raven®, our wireless mobile fuel delivery product, meet that challenge and then some. With over 6,000 Raven devices deployed in North America, these new capabilities incorporate the wisdom of our users. As the only real-time, truly integrated, mobile delivery system in the marketplace, you’ll see a product that takes your business to the next level.

Efficient Routes
From the moment your drivers leave the yard this latest software provides the most efficient routing possible, taking into account current road conditions and closures paired with E3’s customer delivery information. Even as phone orders and other last minute fuel delivery opportunities are raised throughout the day, the drivers’ routes are easily re-optimized, ensuring the best routes possible for maximum gallons delivered.
Simple Display
The dispatcher in the home office can gain some additional efficiencies as well with a customized display. No need for extraneous information to clutter up the screen or needlessly complicate decisions. You can even simplify your display more by moving your interactive map onto a monitor of its own. Some clients have even moved it to a large TV on the wall so all CSR’s can see where the trucks are in real-time and which oil or propane fuel deliveries have been made.
Still, good dispatching decisions need to consider a lot of information, and now having all that data readily available is easy, thanks to the latest enhancements on the new release! The dispatch screen is graphical which means it is simple yet detailed. A picture says a thousand words, but don’t worry, if you need more specifics you can roll over icons to get additional details. It’s all right there.
Real-time!
Of course, information is only as good as it is current and our latest developments leverage real-time mobile technology to ensure your information is up-to-date, accurate, and trustworthy. With this wireless connection everything is real-time. You can’t get more current than this! Your dispatcher sees exactly what is going on in the field as it happens and he/she can react just as quickly. Your CSR’s have the same real-time information, enabling excellent customer service. Even better, your customers can see it for themselves via your web portal. Now that’s exceptional customer service!
All these enhancements offer improvements that go right to the bottom line. Better routing and dispatching means more stops per hour and fewer miles between stops. It means one dispatcher can handle more trucks and make better decisions that lead to less overtime. All this plus happy customers!
