Ozark Motor Lines Inc. announced today that they have decided to install Expert Fuel®, Out -of -Route Alert® and Netgraf® from Integrated Decision Support Corporation in Richardson, Texas. Expert Fuel® minimizes fuel costs by providing an optimal fuel plan at the time of dispatch. The Expert Fuel® program is fully integrated with Ozarks Motor Lines' AS400 computer and Qualcomm satellite systems to provide real-time fuel optimization solutions.
OOR/ETA Alert®(Out-of-route/Estimated Time of Arrival)is a real-time management tool integrated into the Expert Fuel® optimization to minimize out-of-route miles and service failures. It automatically notifies the fleet manager or dispatcher of out-of-route and/or projected late power units based on the planned routing.
Netgraf® integrates with both Expert Fuel® and OOR/ETA Alert®. The Netgraf® system allows the user to display on a map all power units either running late or out-of-route as well as those power units on time and on route. For any power unit, the planned route along with the current position is displayed. Netgraf® also provides a graphical interface to help in fuel network design and management.
"We are excited to find a fuel optimization and out-of- route solution with a company that shares our dedication to quality and excellence. We have a defined network of fuel providers and believe adding an automated fuel optimization as well as a real-time out-of-route alert system will provide additional savings and control of our costs," said Tommy Higginbotham, CEO of Ozark Motor Lines Inc.
"We are very pleased about Ozarks Motor Lines' decision to install Expert Fuel®, Out -of -Route Alert®, and Netgraf®." said David Harris, Director of Sales for Integrated Decision Support Corp." The management team of Ozark Motor Lines Inc. is taking a proactive approach to cost management. These tools individually and together create a process to take advantage of the price variation in fuel by location and the benefit of watching the unit for service or out of route positions.
