Plan bulk deliveries using live tank and silo data
Tanktel gives suppliers a live view of customer tanks, silos and IBCs across Australia and New Zealand, so deliveries are scheduled from actual consumption rather than guesswork.
Monitor levels, usage rates, reorder points and delivery history in one platform. Reduce stockouts, avoid futile trips and improve dispatch decisions across your customer base.
Silo monitoring for Vendor Managed Inventory
VMI removes the delivery guesswork
Suppliers and customers work from the same live data, with levels, alarms and trends available before the next delivery run is planned.
Live customer levels
View customer stock across tanks, silos, IBCs, regions and products from one supplier dashboard.
Reorder alerts
Email or SMS alerts show when product is approaching reorder, low or critical thresholds.
Smarter dispatch
Prioritise deliveries by actual consumption, days cover and receiving capacity rather than manual site calls.
Delivery proof
Driver Login records drops, timestamps and proof-of-delivery details for faster reconciliation.
How Vendor Managed Inventory saves freight costs
Bulk delivery planning has traditionally relied on phone calls, estimates and delayed stock reports. That creates unnecessary freight, urgent deliveries and wasted time when a site cannot receive the product being delivered.
Vendor Managed Inventory changes the model. Tanktel gives suppliers direct visibility of customer storage levels, usage trends and alarm thresholds. Dispatchers can see which sites need product, which sites can wait and which deliveries should be consolidated.
The result is fewer futile trips, better load planning and less detention. Instead of reacting to low stock calls, suppliers schedule deliveries from current data.
Measure
Radar, ultrasonic, pressure or load-cell sensors measure the tank or silo level.
Transmit
Telemetry or SCADA-to-cloud feeds send readings securely to Tanktel.
Analyse
Usage rates, trends and alarms identify which sites need attention.
Deliver
Dispatch plans the right delivery at the right time, with POD captured after the drop.
Better outcomes for both sides
VMI works when the supplier and the customer can trust the same live inventory picture.
For suppliers
Consolidate delivery runs, reduce partial loads and identify customer demand trends. Reorder and critical alerts help planners avoid panic deliveries and improve DIFOT.
Planning exports can support route planning, CSV workflows and ERP or TMS integration by SFTP or API where required.
For customers
Customers receive fewer stockouts, fewer urgent calls and better supply continuity. Shared live data reduces disputes and removes the need for manual level checking.
Delivery entries and proof-of-delivery records provide a clearer audit trail from first fill to final reconciliation.
Create a competitive advantage
Live telemetry helps suppliers move from reactive delivery management to planned replenishment. You can see usage peaks, troughs and seasonal demand across your customer base, then schedule product before it becomes urgent.
Fewer wasted trips, lower detention and clearer reporting make VMI a practical service improvement, not just a monitoring add-on.
