Introducing Wheelhouse
What if you knew with much greater certainty when your shipments were being delivered, and picked up, and could use those insights to ensure inventory levels are optimized or assets are running at maximum capacity before new capital is invested.
Why Do We Need Wheelhouse?
Today, upwards of 50,000 transactions for oil & gas movements are processed manually. With paper. This paper is sent internally to accounting, to operations, to commercial, to IT. It is sent externally to truck and rail shippers, and marketing companies. And of course to customers, partners and other stakeholders.
Digital transformation is impossible when the underlying process is manual.
Many other vendors purport to solve these supply chain challenges. But the reality is that oil & gas logistics is extremely complicated. Following the molecule from the well to the pump means tracking thousands of market participants from producers, to midstreamers, service companies, trucking companies, pipelines, rail lines, refineries, and retailers.
Only Wheelhouse is designed to serve the whole system.
