Welding gas distributors own thousands of cylinders sitting at customer sites. Every cylinder out on rent is revenue waiting to be billed - or lost capital if it never comes back. TMI builds the tracking and billing systems that close the gap between cylinders deployed and revenue collected.
Cylinder rental and gas distribution is an asset-intensive business. The margin lives in tight asset tracking, timely reorders, and accurate per-unit billing. Most distributors have gaps in all three.
A customer closes a job site and your cylinders are still there. No one calls to schedule a return pickup. Six months later the cylinders are gone - left in a corner, moved to another site, or simply lost. The replacement cost is yours to absorb.
You charge a daily or monthly rental on cylinders out at customer sites. When your records don't match where the cylinders actually are, you under-bill. Systematically. Year over year. For most mid-size distributors this gap runs into tens of thousands of dollars annually.
A customer calls because they ran out of gas on a Thursday afternoon. Your route doesn't run their area until Tuesday. Emergency delivery dispatched, margin evaporated on the rush run. Demand forecasting would have prevented the stockout before the emergency call happened.
Built for welding gas distributors managing cylinder fleets, scheduled routes, and industrial customer accounts where every asset deployed should be generating revenue and every delivery should be timed before the customer runs out.
Every cylinder tracked from fill to delivery to customer site to return. Location known at every step. Returns triggered automatically when dwell time exceeds contract terms. Lost cylinders identified and charged systematically.
Cylinder rental billed against actual check-out and check-in dates per serial number. No more flat monthly estimates. Every day a cylinder is at a customer site is a billed day. Revenue that was previously slipping through tracked and collected.
Delivery routes built around customer consumption patterns rather than fixed schedules. Customers with high burn rates get more frequent delivery. Stockout calls go to near zero. Emergency runs become rare events instead of weekly problems.
Gas mix preferences, cylinder types, pricing tiers, and payment terms stored per account. Deliveries matched to account specs automatically. No more delivering the wrong gas mix to a customer who needed something specific.
Hydrostatic test dates, inspection records, and service history tracked by serial number. Cylinders flagged when tests are due. Regulatory compliance maintained without manual tracking across thousands of individual assets.
Deliveries documented on a mobile app at the point of service - quantity, serial numbers, customer signature. Disputes resolved with delivery records. Invoices generated from actual delivery data, not memory or paper manifests.
