Integration will transform Fuel Distribution with Real-Time Allocation Reservations
MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DTN, a global data and technology company helping operational leaders in energy, agriculture, and weather-driven industries make faster, smarter decisions, today announced it has acquired a controlling interest in Tandem Concepts. The acquisition enhances the DTN Fuel Operations Hub with critical terminal to retail intelligence that enables closed-loop decisioning across the downstream supply chain.
Tandem’s AI-powered platform automates connections between carrier and terminal operations through integrations with dispatch systems, significantly reducing manual errors that cost time and money. This integration lays the foundation for reservation-based ordering by enabling real-time validation and load number management between carriers and terminals.
“This extends the visibility required within the fuel value chain to enable faster, smarter decisioning from carriers through delivery,” said Ken Evans, General Manager of Energy and Refined Fuels at DTN. “Connecting the final mile of the downstream supply chain enables frictionless operations.”
Bringing Tandem Concepts into DTN delivers measurable decision outcomes across the downstream supply chain. Carriers eliminate wasted trips and improve truck utilization with documented reductions in manual inputs, improving throughput, and reducing errors. Suppliers gain greater confidence in supply assurance while gaining visibility into demand patterns. Retailers and wholesalers reduce demurrage fees and cut invoice time from days to minutes. Terminals improve throughput by reducing congestion and AI-powered reconciliation.
“Joining DTN allows us to scale our innovation into an industry-standard decision layer for downstream fuel,” said Drew Stypa, CEO at Tandem Concepts. “Combined with their vertical expertise and ecosystem of trust we’re giving customers the intelligence they need to make better, faster decisions than the competition.”
Tandem’s extensive carrier and terminal network complements industry-leading DTN energy solutions, creating the most comprehensive coverage across the North American refined fuel supply chain.
