ATLANTA, May 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Numerex (Nasdaq:NMRX), announced today that its i-Tank bulk-liquid tank monitoring solution, recently achieved a major milestone with the signing its 100th U.S. distributor. Since its introduction, the i-Tank solution has been deployed by customers to monitor multiple thousands of tanks at oil change centers, manufacturing facilities, and service dealerships nationwide. Those customers have achieved significant efficiencies and reductions in operational costs from the deployment of the solution—which is based on and enabled by Numerex's cloud-based, highly scalable, horizontal service delivery platform.
Utilizing the i-Tank solution, bulk-liquid distributors can overcome the inefficiencies associated with existing manual methods to track, monitor, and manage liquid storage tanks. The Company's solution gives customers the ability to remotely determine the fill levels in bulk lubricant and fluid tanks. The tracking data is displayed in a simple-to-use customer portal that provides users with a complete view of the fill levels in each of its monitored tanks. This visibility helps the fluid distributors to dramatically increase operational efficiencies, reduce costs, and increase profits in the distribution of their products. The i-Tank solution eliminates unnecessary field visits, reduces the number of miles driven by the tanker fleet, and decreases fuel costs. Customers utilizing the i-Tank solution report reductions of 30% or more in delivery-miles-driven, and the elimination of costly emergency deliveries.
"The i-Tank remote tank monitoring system is by far the most affordable and flexible solution offered. It is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to scale. This Numerex solution provides us with a significant operational advantage, allows us to continue to serve our customers efficiently in an increasingly competitive market, and ensures that our customers never run out of product," stated Douglas Oehler, EVP Distribution at Reladyne, LLC.
Mike Lang, SVP and President of IoT solutions commented, "We are pleased with the continued adoption of our i-Tank solution by more and more distributors every day. With monitored tanks numbering in the many thousands, we know that this solution holds the key to increased profitability in the area of bulk fluid distribution. It is very gratifying to see yet another successful deployment of our horizontal service delivery platform, enabling a specialized product that meets critical customer needs in an underserved vertical market—in this case, in the area of Supply Chain and Logistics, an area of focus for Numerex.
