Tank Utility helps delivered fuel providers optimize their last mile logistics by digitizing the most important data point for their business, the customer's tank level. Tank Utility currently monitors the tanks of more than 750 fuel providers across all 50 U.S. states and has delivered millions of dollars in logistics savings. The new funding will be used to accelerate growth, furthering the company's mission of making delivered energy as simple and convenient as purchasing a product on Amazon.
"Only 4% of propane and heating oil tanks are monitored today but that number is growing rapidly. Fuel suppliers with monitored tanks see not only considerable time and delivery savings but improved customer sentiment as well," said Amos Epstein, CEO of Tank Utility. "This investment and the expertise of our partners will help us grow the team we need to deliver an even better experience and change the fundamental economics of this energy market."
Tank Utility provides remote monitoring devices and logistics intelligence software that gives fuel providers an accurate real-time view into the tank level for their customers. With this level of insight, fuel providers are able to eliminate up to 50% of logistics costs and improve customer sentiment by delivering just-in-time with confidence.
"Tank Utility has found a differentiated product-market fit in an underserved market. Their great top-line growth is a product of sound metrics and business fundamentals and we're thrilled to be part of the vision," said Paul Martino, Managing Partner at Bullpen Capital. "We have confidence in Amos and the Tank Utility team to take this investment and build on their momentum at a larger scale."
Tank Utility is actively hiring across the organization, with open positions in product development, sales, marketing, customer success and operations at their Boston headquarters in Downtown Crossing.
"Since we invested in Tank Utility back in 2016, we have been impressed with the company's ability to consistently beat expectations," said Sara Chamberlain, Tank Utility Board Member and Managing Director at Energy Foundry. "Their expertise in data-driven products and customer-first approach will continue to make them the premier technology company in delivered fuels."
"We are pleased to support Tank Utility's continued growth and are excited about the next phase of expansion," said Harris Brody, Partner at Blue Fog Capital. "Watching them grow the business from an idea to a major presence in just a few years has been incredible. Tank Utility has the team, product, and vision, to be a transformative company in IoT monitoring and analytics."
