Propane distribution is one of the most demand-variable, geographically dispersed, and forecast-dependent sectors in energy logistics. Edge gives propane distributors the K-factor forecasting, telemetry integration, and automated order generation tools to shift from reactive, call-driven operations to proactive, data-driven delivery scheduling.
From K-factor-driven automated order generation to digital meter actuals and proactive customer notifications, Bestrane Edge helps propane distributors eliminate runouts, reduce emergency delivery costs, and build the data-driven operational model that scales with a growing customer base.
Propane distribution operations manage thousands of residential and commercial customers spread across large geographic areas, each with highly variable consumption driven by seasonal temperature patterns, property occupancy, appliance usage, and business activity. The traditional response to this challenge is K-factor-based delivery scheduling, but when K-factor models are managed manually then runouts can occur and emergency deliveries become costly.
— In the field
Operators who can't afford to leave customers in the cold.
Bestrane Edge is a delivery operations platform built for propane distributors, connecting automated K-factor order generation, digital field capture, customer delivery notifications, and real-time network performance reporting into one connected system. Built to work alongside your existing routing systems, not replace it.
K-factor, degree-day, and telemetry-based automated order generation.
Orders is purpose-built for propane forecasting complexity. It embeds K-factor consumption models, heating degree-day calculations, and live tank telemetry data into a fully automated order generation workflow.
Meter readings, gallons delivered, and digital delivery receipts.
Capture connects driver mobile applications directly with flow meters and tank gauges — recording gallons delivered automatically without manual entry. Every propane delivery generates a complete digital record.
Proactive customer notifications and delivery scheduling portals.
Engage gives propane customers proactive delivery notifications, live driver tracking, and self-service scheduling tools. Customers receive automated alerts when a delivery is scheduled, a real-time ETA on delivery day, and digital confirmation.
Delivered vs forecast dashboards and network efficiency reporting.
Insights surfaces delivered vs planned volume performance across your propane network, including per-customer forecast accuracy, runout rate trends, emergency delivery frequency, and route efficiency metrics.
