The All-In-One Propane Platform Built By Operators, Not a Sales Team

The All-In-One Propane Platform Built By Operators, Not a Sales Team

Your techs work where there's no signal. TankSpotter runs there too — built to work on or off the cell grid from day one, not added on later.

One app for service tech management, safety compliance, dispatch, training, and sales — 65+ modules, built by a propane operator and a dozen software engineers. Save 1+ hour per tech daily.

$57,600/yr — an 8-person crew, one hour a day, at a $30/hr blended rate.

These are modeled estimates from our own analysis, not measured results across every customer — every operation is different.

Why TankSpotter

Six things about how we built this that most software companies can't say.

01

One App, Not Six Logins

Service tech management. Safety compliance. Dispatch and scheduling. Training library. Sales and reputation growth. Most companies buy those five things from five different vendors and hope they talk to each other. TankSpotter is one app, one login, 65+ modules, built to work together because it was built by one team from the start.

02

Works Where the Signal Doesn't

Your techs are at tanks in the woods, behind hills, in basements — plenty of the places you deliver don't have a bar of signal. TankSpotter was built to work on or off the cell grid from day one. That's not a feature bullet. It's the difference between a tech finishing the job at the tank and a tech driving back to the office to do the paperwork he already did once.

03

Built By Engineers, Not a Sales Team

TankSpotter is built by a dozen software engineers. We don't run a sales floor — we run a build queue. That's also why we can customize a module for how your company actually runs, instead of making you run your company around the default install.

04

No Contract Lock-In

No multi-year contract standing between you and leaving if TankSpotter ever stops earning its keep. Our customer list has grown for years mostly by word of mouth — one propane company telling another. That only works if the product actually works.

Recommended By the People Who Carry the Risk

Real Consequences

One Explosion Changed an Entire Neighborhood

This explosion destroyed a home and damaged 24 neighboring properties. The blast was heard 25 miles away in Georgetown. After incidents like this, investigators demand documentation. Can your company prove every safety check was performed?

Paper Documentation Fails When It Matters Most

When a propane incident gets investigated, companies relying on paper documentation struggle to prove what they actually did. Here's why.

  1. Paperwork Is Illegible

    Handwritten service records are impossible to read after the fact. If your office, an inspector, or an insurer can't read it, they can't verify what was done.

  2. Records Get Lost

    Paper files disappear, get damaged by water, or are simply misfiled. When you need them most, they're gone.

  3. Incomplete Documentation

    Technicians skip fields, miss critical checks, and leave forms half-finished. A half-finished form doesn't show what was actually checked — or that anything was.

  4. Not Documented in Years

    Many companies haven't properly documented safety work in years. After an incident, there's no trail showing what was actually done, or when.

  5. Filled Out From the Cab

    Rain, snow, and sleet don't wait for the paperwork. So the form gets filled out later, in the cab of the truck, from memory — instead of at the tank, where the work happened.

Diagram: “Paperwork System = 1 hr lost per employee daily.” A trail of footprints loops from a customer’s propane tank to the bobtail to the office — 10–15 minutes lost on every delivery or service call, 15–20 minutes more on the morning and evening paperwork run — and lists what goes undocumented: safety issues, maintenance issues, tank inspections, sales leads, photos and geo coordinates.

Built for the Field

Your Techs Already Carry Their Phones

TankSpotter runs natively on Apple and Android smartphones & tablets. No extra hardware, no signal booster, nothing extra to buy. Built to work on or off the cell grid — a dead zone at the tank doesn't stop the job.

Nuclear Verdicts Are Destroying Propane Companies

Propane companies face a perfect storm of threats that paper documentation can't protect against.

01

Nuclear Verdicts

Juries are awarding catastrophic verdicts against propane companies with weak documentation. Paper safety forms are easy to lose, hard to read, and hard to complete consistently — in our own experience, error and gap rates on paper-based systems run as high as 30%. That's exactly the kind of gap insurers and investigators look for after an incident.

02

Rising Insurance Costs

Vehicle, payroll and insurance costs keep climbing, squeezing profit margins. After a serious incident, carriers can revoke coverage, and re-insuring gets much harder — sometimes impossible.

03

The Paperwork Drain

Field employees lose 45-60 minutes daily on paperwork, costing a typical 8-person crew approximately $57,600 per year (8 people, one hour a day, a $30/hour blended rate, 240 workdays — our model, not a measured average). That's time and money your company can't afford to waste.

The Field Workflow Breakdown

This is one of the biggest hidden time drains in propane operations.

Technicians are constantly forced into unnecessary back-and-forth between the truck, customer site, and office just to finish basic jobs. Not because the work is hard — but because information is missing, paperwork is manual, and nothing is connected in real time.

This isn’t just inefficiency. It’s lost time, lost jobs, and lost revenue on every route.

  • One missing detail means back to the truck.
  • One unclear entry means back to the office.
  • One incomplete form means another trip to the customer.

What should be a simple workflow becomes a loop: truck → customer → truck → office → customer → office — repeated all day.

Watch a Tank Problem Fix Itself — in 44 Seconds

That loop — truck to customer to office and back — is exactly what TankSpotter closes. Here’s the whole thing end to end: a driver taps in a problem at the tank, the office turns it into an emailed estimate before he’s back in the cab, the customer approves by reply, and the tech is dispatched, fixes it, and documents it right at the tank.

How We Calculate This

Based on a typical 8-person crew losing 1 hour a day to paperwork at a $30/hour blended labor rate — that's $57,600 a year — plus one avoided safety incident (a single claim runs anywhere from $10K to $1M+) and the new business a team can close once they're not buried in forms. Weigh that against TankSpotter's setup and monthly cost, and most crews are looking at 10x to 25x back in Year 1, some inside the first few months.

These are modeled estimates from our own analysis, not measured results across every customer — every operation is different. Ask us for your crew's actual numbers on the demo and we'll run them live.
