This is why it matters
Massive Home Explosion Caught on Camera — Real Consequences
This explosion destroyed a home and damaged 24 neighboring properties. The blast was heard 25 miles away in Georgetown. After incidents like this, investigators demand documentation. Can your company prove every safety check was performed?
Learn about our safety solution →The problem
When propane incidents lead to courtrooms, companies relying on paper documentation consistently lose. Here's why.
Handwritten service records are impossible to read in court. Judges and juries can't verify what was done when they can't read the documentation.
Paper files disappear, get damaged by water, or are simply misfiled. When you need them most, they’re gone.
Technicians skip fields, miss critical checks, and leave forms half-finished. In court, incomplete records are as bad as no records.
Many companies haven't properly documented safety work in years. After an incident, there's no trail to prove due diligence.
The industry crisis
Propane companies face a perfect storm of threats that paper documentation can't protect against.
Juries are awarding catastrophic verdicts against propane companies with weak documentation. Paper safety forms have a 30% error rate, leaving companies unprotected in court. One verdict can end your business.
Operational costs for vehicles, payroll, and insurance are rising 10-20% annually, squeezing profit margins. After incidents, insurers revoke coverage entirely — making it nearly impossible to get re-insured and continue operating.
Field employees lose 45-60 minutes daily on paperwork, costing a typical 8-person crew approximately $57,600 per year. That’s time and money your company can’t afford to waste.
This is one of the biggest hidden time drains in propane operations.
Technicians are constantly forced into unnecessary back-and-forth between the truck, customer site, and office just to finish basic jobs. Not because the work is hard, but because information is missing, paperwork is manual, and nothing is connected in real time.
What should be a simple workflow becomes a loop:
truck → customer → truck → office → customer → office — repeated all day.
This isn't just inefficiency. It's lost time, lost jobs, and lost revenue on every route.
Operators using TankSpotter
Every tool your team needs — most propane operations are running 4–5 separate tools to cover what TankSpotter handles in one app.
Dispatch + work orders + repair tracking
Service techs dispatch from the smartphone already in their pocket. Work orders captured in the field — no paper, no re-entry at the office. Repair notes and photos attached to the asset record at the point of service. Full scheduling visibility for office and field.
NFPA 58 · CETP · DOT · offline-first
Geo-stamped photos, digital signature, and timestamp captured in 10 seconds. Works where cell signal doesn't (built for field work that happens off cellular). Audit-ready record export in one click. DOT cylinder recertification intervals tracked per cylinder with auto-alerts.

Operator-side lead capture + pipeline
Lead capture and follow-up tracking built into the field worker's daily app — no separate CRM login. A category of one: no other field worker app includes an operator-side sales tool. Close the opportunities your drivers and techs surface in the field every day.
Built-in LMS · CETP · PERC integration
New-driver onboarding supported by CETP-aligned training videos and documentation built into the app — supplemental to, never a replacement for, official trainer-led certification. CETP recertification deadlines tracked with auto-alerts, not spreadsheets. PERC training integration included at no extra cost.
One app replaces 4–5 separate point tools — service, safety, sales, and training in a single offline-capable platform
Works fully offline for field capture — syncs when back in coverage. Purpose-built for off-cellular field work
NFPA 58 inspection forms pre-loaded — no setup, updated with code editions
Audit-ready export in one click — every inspection geo-stamped, signed, timestamped
CETP and DOT cylinder recertification tracked per tech, per cylinder, with auto-alerts
Operator-side sales pipeline in the same device as daily field work
Veteran-owned and operator-built — 25+ years of propane field operations baked in

What you’re looking at
Watch the 40-second breakdown.
The video runs 40 seconds. Here's the map.
The first half is monthly cost. The tall stack on the left is what you pay every month right now. It's five things stacked on top of each other. Each block is one bill. The bigger the block, the bigger the bill — they're not all the same size. The short dark bar beside it is TankSpotter. The red line across the stack shows where our price lands on that pile.
The second half is setup — the money you spend once, up front. It lists six setup costs. Then two bars: the long one is what all that adds up to, the short one is TankSpotter.
That's the whole argument. The tall stack is the bills you already pay, piled up. The short bar is the one bill that replaces them.
Illustrative only. Based on a typical propane office with 4 office staff and 6 field employees — your own numbers will differ.
