Manage tanks as assets, not just loads
Atlas tracks ISO tanks and rail tank cars: where each one is, what state it is in, and what it needs before it can move again.
Operational context
A tank earns nothing while it waits
Between loads, a tank has to be found, cleaned to the right standard and matched to its next move. That work depends on accurate information about each tank.
Atlas tracks each tank as an asset, with its location, status and washout requirements attached, so your team can see what is available and what is holding a tank back.
Who uses Atlas at a tank operator
- Fleet and asset managers
- Operations and dispatch
- Depot and cleaning coordination
- Commercial and contract teams
Key challenges
What gets in the way today
Not knowing where every tank is
Tanks move between carriers, depots and customers, and their location is often known only to whoever has them.
Washout status that isn’t attached
When cleaning records live somewhere else, tanks can be held or sent to the wrong load.
Planning availability by guesswork
Without current status, committing tanks to upcoming moves relies on phone calls and spreadsheets.
