Fuel Gas & LPG Cylinder Tracking
Asset Visibility for LPG Operators
Built for the economics of propane
Propane is a commodity, so every lost cylinder and every idle asset eats into thin margins. TrackAbout connects the fill plant, the delivery truck, and the back office so LPG distributors always know what they own, where it is, and what it is earning. The platform operates under SOC 2 audited controls, so your IT team can clear a security review with documented evidence rather than a questionnaire cycle.
Barcode-based chain of custody that captures the full history and location of every propane cylinder.
See which cylinders sit unbilled at customer sites, idle in yards, or circulating untracked through distributor networks, and pull them back into rotation.
Reconciled deliveries and government-required truck manifests that keep fuel gas operations compliant.
A solution for every step of the cylinder lifecycle
Establish a chain of custody for every container
Know the location of each container and how long it has been there, capture its full history, and increase utilization. Operators can purchase fewer new cylinders, reduce theft, and cut paperwork by tracking batch and lot numbers electronically.
Enforce safe, compliant processes in the field
Record and track maintenance, inspection, and testing actions, customize mobile screens for your company-specific processes, and enforce the internal procedures that keep you safe and compliant.
Get more revenue out of your fleet
Keep accurate balances of what each customer holds, surface idle and unreturned cylinders, and move the fleet where it earns. Faster turns lift revenue without buying more cylinders.
Reconcile deliveries and meet manifest requirements
Track truck inventories, reconcile deliveries against what actually shipped, and create government-required truck manifests.
Settle damage disputes with a photograph, not an argument
Mobile scanning and photo capture document cylinder condition at the moment it is observed.
Eliminate delivery paperwork
Replace paper work orders and driver instructions with mobile point of sale (POS), and send work orders directly to Datacor ERP or other business management software.
Give customers self-service visibility
Grant customers controlled internet access to your TrackAbout system so they can track and view information for the containers at their locations.
Handle containers by the pallet
Group cylinders on pallets to optimize handling and distribution, and scan a single pallet barcode instead of every individual container.
WHAT WE TRACK
Powerful tools to track your most important returnable assets
Trace refrigerant cylinders from fill through return so reporting stays accurate and more assets make it back from the field.
Keep high-value industrial, medical, and specialty gas cylinders under control with rental billing, testing records, and full lifecycle visibility.
Monitor fumigant cylinders through every fill, delivery, and return to hold the line on compliance and safeguard hazardous assets.
Scan reusable plastic containers as they move through your supply chain to curb shrinkage and reconcile balances with customers.
Log the location, maintenance, and inspection history of medical equipment so patient safety and audit readiness are never in question.
Track chemical containers by batch and lot number to enforce safety procedures, slash paperwork, and simplify regulatory compliance.
Follow kegs through every delivery and return to recover more of your float and bill customers accurately for what they are holding.
Whatever returnable asset your business ships or rents, bring it into one system for complete visibility and accountability.
