Fuel Operations Are Evolving. Leaders Are Moving.
AI is starting to change the decisions operators make every day, not just the reports they read. More fuel companies are moving to modernize how they run. And we’re on the road this fall, with a few chances to talk in person.
This month, we’re sharing what that looks like in practice.
New to Gravitate? We connect the fuel supply chain, so a change in supply, pricing, or dispatch shows up everywhere it matters.
AI in Action at the D1 Expo
Gravitate’s VP of Marketing, Joel Davies, recently joined industry leaders at the D1 Expo for a conversation about what AI looks like when applied to real fuel operations.
At Sheetz and CLI Transport, a proof of concept put a dispatcher head to head with the machine. Load construction went from roughly 44 minutes to about 90 seconds, with dispatcher efficiency up 40% to 50%. The dispatcher still reviewed the plan and made adjustments, which is the point.
Joel’s take: the opportunity isn’t replacing experienced dispatchers. It’s giving them better information faster, so they spend more time on judgment, exceptions, and customers.
“The future isn’t just faster decisions. It’s connected decisions.”
