Setting the Pace

It's one thing to be good at what you do, it's an entirely another thing to be the best. To be the best means that you are the example and standard that an industry looks to. A business typically reaches this level of performance through basing its success on what it accomplishes on behalf of its customers.

R.E. Powell Distributing is driven to deliver unmatched value to our customers, and this drive is propelling us to the forefront of our industry. Our innovative customer focused solutions are changing the way businesses buy their petroleum products. This commitment to innovation and customer focus can be seen with the recent launch of our Market-Based Inventory Management and Price Risk Management Programs.

Market-Based Inventory Program
Working in partnership with our customers, R.E. Powell leverages industry expertise and state of the art technologies to deliver fuel to the customer at the optimal time. R.E. Powell's Logistics Team, monitors tank levels, prices, product allocations, and overall market conditions. With this information in hand the Logistics Team then makes purchasing and sourcing decisions on behalf of the customer. This kind of accurate and rapid monitoring of key data points can translate into savings of four cents or more per gallon for our customers.

Price Risk Management Program
If fuel costs are a significant portion of a business' operating costs, their profitability can be significantly impacted by large fluctuations in fuel pricess. Armed with market-leading information and years of industry experience, our Price Risk Management Team works closely with our customers to help them develop a fuel purchasing and hedging strategy that lets them sleep at night.

Setting the Pace
We are setting the pace in our industry by focusing on the needs of our customers, and through developing innovative cost saving solutions. It's one thing to be good at what you do, it's entirely another thing to be the best. I want to thank all our team members for their efforts in making us the best.
