DTN Announces Upgrades to DTN Guardian3 Terminal Automation System

Terminal operators experience improved BOL processing and allocations management as new system enhancements deliver tighter security features and safer fuel loading

DTN is pleased to announce the launch of a new release of DTN Guardian3™ (DTN G3) terminal automation system.  Terminal operators using DTN G3 enjoy the industry’s most comprehensive data exchange with field and corporate offices; along with powerful government compliance capabilities.  By using DTN G3 terminal managers can quickly anticipate shortages and rapidly adjust allocations to maximize profits.  Real-time inventory balancing, along with dynamic reporting and sophisticated allocation management help operations run more efficiently.

Managing proper and flexible handling of bill of lading (BOL) data is becoming increasingly important for terminal and corporate business personnel.  Newly expanded BOL processing features in DTN G3 include streamlined PDF file management for improved access time, easy-to-read view enhancements and configurable BOL reprint processing.

Tighter terminal security features address growing security concerns and issues faced by terminal personnel.  Site-configurable trailer and loading authorizations enforce driver lock-outs.

“DTN Guardian 3 terminal automation system truly represents the best of the best — it helps manage multiple allocations, components and blends.  It reserves inventory for your best customers and stays on top of regulatory compliance mandates.  Safety and security features are built in and managers can monitor real-time product movement and allocations from offsite locations.” said Robert Gordon, chief executive officer of DTN.  “In a time when terminal owners are being asked to do more, installing a reliable, cost-effective terminal automation system that is flexible and easy to maintain only makes smart business sense.”

The latest DTN G3 release also addresses customer requests and process monitoring.  The addition of new troubleshooting tools allow terminal personnel to find and resolve issues while minimizing the number of support calls.  New driver interface features improve driver and terminal satisfaction to increase throughput.  And, data cleanup — with customizable parameters and a wizard-like preview screen — becomes easier and more effective. 

DTN offers the leading solution to meet the demands of the downstream supply chain.  Working in tandem with DTN Guardian Host™ remote multi-terminal management software DTN TABS™ and DTN PetroEx™ for billing software and BOL information, DTN G3 easily integrates into corporate network environments allowing terminal operations personnel to meet business needs within the framework of their processes.

DTN G3 supports all current industry standard reporting formats offering the ability to email reports, export to external data formats (Excel, Word, PDF) as well as remote management capabilities to monitor loading, update records and run reports from off-site.  New enhancements in data grouping and filtering provide increased flexibility for generating internal and external reports and improved organization for audits, tax reporting, mandatory state and federal documentation as well as other office needs.  Customizable records of daily operations help operators quickly analyze terminal activity and profitability.
