DTN Launches Consolidated Info Service for Fuel Buyers
The DTN product management team has met with fuel buyers from marketer organizations to better determine their information needs and put shape to DTN’s latest product offering. Available now, DTN Fuel Buyer™ delivers all the fuel market information—located on one screen—that buyers need to make the most profitable fuel buying and reselling decisions.
Buyers Save Time With Comprehensive Fuel Buying Information On a Single Screen.
Fuel buyers across the country told us that they require real-time pricing data, analysis tools, market-impacting weather and market intelligence. They reported that one of the most challenging aspects of their job was taking the time to gather and analyze the huge amount of up-to-the-minute market data needed to make profitable decisions every day.
With DTN Fuel Buyer, there’s no more toggling back and forth between applications to gather and analyze all the information needed to make the best buying decisions. DTN Fuel Buyer provides a consolidated presentation of real-time rack, spot and market information, so buyers can quickly evaluate posted rack prices against indexes; contracts; spot markets and rack lows and averages. Content is tailored specifically to meet the needs of fuel buyers—from filtered supplier price messaging to DTN FastRacks™ price discovery by market city; along with spot market tickers tracing gasoline and heating oil at all U.S. refined fuels spot markets.
Price analysis capabilities allow buyers to filter by supplier, terminal, city, branded vs. unbranded and posted or adjusted for discounts. Buyers can select to view intra-day prices based on a selected time, or by all prices received for the day. They can determine their best rack price based on configured weighted product quantities. Buyers can also set price alerts that will notify via cell phone, email or audible alarms of unexpected price changes outside the normal pricing hours; so that they can respond more quickly to intra-day price changes.
DTN Fuel Buyer also includes the latest news headlines of the crude oil and refined fuels industry with a special focus on market-moving events such as refinery outages, pipeline problems or other outages that can erode profit margins. Because weather can significantly influence fuel prices, DTN Fuel Buyer delivers energy-focused weather forecasts, histories, current conditions and climate predictions generated by DTN’s highly respected, industry-leading staff of meteorologists. Real-time NYMEX feeds from DTN Quotes Online™ are also available to help buyers monitor futures quotes tick-by-tick, along with access to additional price analytical tools and interactive charts.
This consolidated information source provides access to all the tools and information buyers need in one place; supporting their fuel buying activities by giving a fast read of the ever-changing competitive playing field. Using DTN Fuel Buyer helps speed reaction time to sudden changes in the market—which can lower the cost of product, improve the ability to resell at an advantageous price and protect margins.
