Rockgas selects PDI Logistics Cloud for transforming LPG operations

Professional Datasolutions, Inc. (PDI) said that its PDI Logistics Cloud platform has been selected by Rockgas, a New Zealand-based LPG retailer, for the transformation, innovation, and automation of its LPG logistics operations.

Based in Atlanta, Professional Datasolutions is a software solutions provider for the convenience retailer and petroleum wholesaler industries.

According to the company, PDI Logistics Cloud solves the unique requirements of fuel haulers to enable visibility and control starting from the terminal to the pump.

PDI Logistics Cloud, which is designed to optimize logistics workflows and the delivery of real time, is expected to help Rockgas make use of its existing resources and enhance transparency to streamline operational efficiency, cut down costs, and improve supply chain visibility.

Jo Crawford — General Manager of Rockgas said: “The first trucks are already in operation using the new system. Soon all our operators will benefit from the comprehensive functionality of PDI Logistics Cloud, such as a focus on preventing LPG runouts, reducing mileage, boosting productivity, maximizing transparency, increasing payload utilization, ensuring compliance, and digitalizing operations.”

As part of the deployment of PDI Logistics Cloud, Rockgas is said to have moved to a paperless dispatch process. With the PDI solution removing the necessity for printing invoices and other customer communications, the Firstgas Group company is now sending them digitally and automatically, said Professional Datasolutions.

Sin Hin Wong — Professional Datasolutions Managing Director and Vice President of Sales APAC said: “Rockgas has been a PDI customer for over 10 years, and we are excited to renew our relationship with them as they move from a legacy set of solutions to a future-proof, state-of-the-art solution suite.

“PDI will continue to deliver on our commitment to help our customers in New Zealand and the Asia Pacific market with cloud-based solutions that accelerate our customers’ digital journey.”
