Cylinder Analytics
Tracking cylinders generates an enormous amount of operational data — and most gas companies use almost none of it. The scans are captured, then buried in transaction tables nobody reads.
Analytics surfaces the handful of numbers that actually run the business: how fast cylinders turn around, what proportion of the fleet is genuinely earning, where losses concentrate, and how much demurrage was billed versus billable.
With those figures on a screen instead of in a quarterly guess, purchasing, pricing and staffing decisions stop being arguments about opinion and start being arguments about evidence.

Can reports be emailed automatically?
Yes, scheduled MIS reports can be delivered to management on a daily, weekly or monthly cadence.
Can we export data to our own BI tool?
Yes, data can be exported or accessed via API for use in Power BI, Tableau or a data warehouse.
