Critical for agricultural, construction, and temporary fueling operations
Integrated into the same Kii platform alongside tank levels and compliance
The Portable Tank Problem
Portable tanks are essential for petroleum marketers serving agricultural, construction, and temporary fueling operations. But unlike fixed underground or above-ground tanks, portable tanks move — sometimes daily. During harvest and construction season, when petroleum usage is at its highest, tanks are relocated frequently across large service territories.
For drivers and dispatchers, locating these assets consumes significant time. Hours are spent calling operators, checking job sites, and driving routes to find tanks that may have been moved since the last delivery. When a portable tank cannot be located in time, runouts occur — halting critical field operations and damaging customer relationships.
On-Demand GPS
Kii’s GPS Tank Tracking capability solves this problem with a simple, on-demand location feature integrated directly into the tank monitoring platform.
How It Works
- Request — From the mobile app or web portal, tap the GPS button on any portable tank
- Locate — The tank’s current position is returned as longitude/latitude coordinates or a street address
- Share — Forward the location via email or text to drivers, dispatchers, or customers with a single tap
- Record — Every location request is logged and stored by tank, building a complete movement history
Location History
Every GPS request creates a timestamped record associated with the tank. Over time, this builds a complete location history that operators can use to:
- Identify job sites — see where tanks have been deployed and for how long
- Plan deliveries — route drivers efficiently based on current tank locations
- Audit operations — maintain a record of tank movements for billing and accountability
- Forecast demand — correlate location patterns with consumption data
Built for Scale
In large service territories — particularly in agriculture and energy — a single operator may manage dozens of portable tanks spread across hundreds of miles. Kii’s GPS capability scales to any fleet size, with all portable tanks visible in the same dashboard alongside fixed underground and above-ground assets.
Developed from Customer Feedback
The GPS feature was built in direct response to operator demand. Petroleum marketers consistently identified portable tank tracking as one of their most significant operational pain points. Kii’s product team moved from initial design to launch in a matter of months — a pace enabled by the platform’s flexible IoT architecture.
