Hutch's overhauls fuel compliance management
Convenience chain Hutchinson Oil has tapped Warren Rogers Precision Fuel System Diagnostics as its provider of fuel system compliance, wet-stock management and forecourt diagnostics.
The retailer, better known as Hutch’s, which operates 21 locations in Oklahoma and Kansas, will utilize the Warren Rogers FuelWrap system, which uses real-time data and leverages the technology to help fuel retailers continuously track fuel inventory as it makes its way to their sites, pumps and vehicles.
Using FuelWrAp, travel center and conventional convenience store support staff can minimize their time spent each day identifying and addressing issues such as dormant or down fueling positions, water in tank, active tank gauge alarms, meters out-of-variance, failed tank, sensor, and line testing, low inventory levels, lost communications, slowing fuel flow trends and more.
“This new level of oversight will bring higher levels of automation and efficiency to our company, allowing us to continue to provide low prices on fuel for travelers and truck drivers,” said Kurtis Hutchinson, VP of fuels at Hutchinson Oil in Elk City, Okla. “We selected Warren Rogers for their fuel management expertise in the industry and to assist us with our ongoing store growth plans and technology improvements. The FuelWrAp real-time system will help us to continue to improve efficiency across our sites in the areas of compliance and forecourt maintenance.”
In addition, Warren Rogers will provide customized auditing and operational reports along with the compliance documentation required to meet all state and federal regulations. Every month, Warren Rogers monitors the performance of over 250,000 dispensing points and over 2 billion gallons in fuel throughput.
Other convenience/fuel retailers, including Onvo and Go Mart, are also utilizing Warren Rogers technology to manage fuel system compliance.
“We’re excited about working with Hutch’s as they continue to grow in scale and store count and are extremely pleased that they chose us as their preferred services partner,” said William Jones, president and CEO of Warren Rogers. “We take their trust in our business seriously. Fortunately, the FuelWrap system is highly scalable, so we’ll be able to continue to support them with all their leak detection, compliance and fuel monitoring needs as they continue to grow.”
