The well-known and widely respected petroleum supply and distribution company, R.B. Stewart Petroleum Products, has chosen Gravitate as their preferred supply and dispatch software solution. Through this partnership, Gravitate will provide its best-in-class operations platform for R.B. Stewart’s total fuel supply optimization and the dispatch of nearly 100 trucks and 175 drivers.
R.B. Stewart’s primary business is supply, transportation, and inventory management for both c- stores and travel centers, all of which require a high degree of accuracy, efficiency, and resilience - qualities that the Gravitate organization and its products are renowned for.
R.B. Stewart’s Director of Fleet Management, Kristine Caruso notes that, “We’ve been looking for an innovative, stable, and long-term software partner that will use technology, specifically artificial intelligence, to our advantage. We believe Gravitate will help us solve some of the problems our industry faces, such as managing contract allocations, best buy and preferred routing. There have been a lot of supply and dispatch solutions rise and fall over the last five years, and personally, we think that Gravitate is the platform the industry has been waiting for.”
An important factor in R.B. Stewart’s success is its high-quality drivers and dispatchers. Fuel Logistics Manager Taylor Hammack is particularly excited about how Gravitate will further improve dispatcher productivity, successfully ensure they are meeting contract expectations and increase the level of service that they can provide to their drivers. Through its innovative and prescriptive In-Cab application, Gravitate helps drivers achieve an ideal workflow each and every day through the minimization of common errors typically seen in mistakes like mis-pulls and cross-drops.
Gravitate Founder Mike Scharf says, “We’re really excited to work with the R.B. Stewart team, and are confident that we’ll be able to provide unparalleled value to their organization today, tomorrow, and well into the future.”
Gravitate is currently implementing its software solution at R.B. Stewart, with an expected Go- Live date of December 2022. For more information about the Gravitate organization and its products, please reach out to tom@gravitate.energy.
