SC Fuels, one of the largest petroleum distributors in the United States, has recently adopted EDI software from Trinium Technologies. Trinium is a leading provider of business software for fuel marketers and distributors.
SC Fuels runs Trinium’s cloud-based fuel management system to manage its unbranded wholesale division. Recently the company deployed Trinium’s EDI Module to improve and streamline communication with its customers and vendors. With Trinium EDI, SC Fuels can now provide automated electronic invoices to its customers. Invoices are electronically sent to DTN, which distributes the invoices directly to the customer’s payables system. SC Fuels has ramped up EDI invoicing with dozens of customers saving the company time and money in producing and sending invoices, along with enabling a more efficient means of receiving invoices on the customer side.
EDI is also being used to connect with vendors. A portion of SC Fuels’ orders are delivered by common carriers. Now within Trinium, SC Fuels can send EDI 204 transactions (motor carrier load tenders) to EDI compliant carriers, which automates the order process. The next step is to enable EDI 214’s (transportation carrier shipment status messages), in which delivery data received from the carriers is imported into the Trinium fuel system with no manual intervention. “Trinium has helped us further automate our transaction processing with our customers and vendors. EDI is enabling us to reduce transaction processing time and administrative costs,” said Mike Rohrer, General Manager of Unbranded Wholesale, at SC Fuels.
