Depot Connect International (DCI), formed through the merger of Quala and Boasso Global, has made significant progress in tank operations since partnering with DEPOT Software in 2017. DCI focuses on delivering excellent service, innovation and reliability to its customers, with DEPOT Software playing a key role in this success. With a strong global presence and tailored support, DCI offers a wide range of services within a single system, saving time, boosting efficiency, and ensuring that safety and environmental standards are consistently met.
Industrie challenges
Before implementing DEPOT Software, DCI faced several challenges in managing its tank operations. “Our previous system was outdated and lacked the flexibility to meet the growing demands of the industry,” says Justin Vines, Director of Operations Implementation at DCI. “Data management was fragmented, which affected operational efficiency. With increasingly strict safety and environmental regulations, this was a significant concern.”
Safety and regulatory compliance are critical in the tank industry. Without a centralized system, managing operations and compliance
effectively was challenging. “We needed a system that could help us meet regulations while streamlining our processes,” adds Justin.
The solution
DEPOT Software provided the perfect solution for DCI. The system not only improved tank management but also strengthened safety and compliance measures. “By integrating DEPOT Software with our existing processes, we can now easily verify that our tanks meet all permit requirements.”
”For example, when we are allowed to store a certain number of tanks, the system alerts us as we approach the limit,” Justin explains.
This ensures that DCI consistently meets regulatory requirements, preventing fines or issues with government agencies, particularly in New Jersey, where regulations are particularly stringent.
Improved operations efficiency
Another key advantage of DEPOT Software is its ability to enhance efficiency. “The biggest change we’ve noticed is in our daily operations,” shares Scott Grussing, IT Director at DCI. “The integration with Stackcom has saved us a lot of time. We can locate containers much faster, significantly reducing turnaround times, which directly benefits our customer service.”
In addition to faster container processing, the system has improved reporting and reduced errors. “Previously, searching for data was cumbersome and timeconsuming. Now, everything is centralized and accessible, allowing us to work faster and more accurately.”
Cost savings and budget management
Not only do operational teams benefit from DEPOT Software, but the financial department also sees clear improvements. Automated reporting and better data processing enable faster and more accurate financial reports.
“We have greater control over costs and expenditures, with immediate insight into what’s happening on the ground,” Scott explains. “DEPOT Software helps us manage budgets more effectively and save costs."
Strong collaboration
The partnership between DCI and DEPOT Software is viewed positively by both parties. “We work closely with the DEPOT Software team, from account managers to developers and support. Communication is always open and constructive. If any issues arise, they respond quickly and are always ready to assist,” says Scott. Justin agrees: “Whenever we submit a support ticket, we get a fast response with clear instructions. It’s reassuring to know someone is always available to help.”
Scott rates the collaboration highly: “I’d give it a five out of five. DEPOT Software has truly helped us improve our processes, and we’ve built a strong partnership.” Justin echoes this sentiment: “I’m very satisfied with how everything is going."
