How nexTrack Enhances Efficiency for Industrial Gas Customers

Managing industrial gas inventory shouldn’t require constant attention from busy operations managers, but traditional manual tracking creates gaps where cylinders run empty unexpectedly and valuable assets disappear into inventory black holes. nexTrack eliminates these problems through automated monitoring that keeps gas supply running smoothly without constant oversight.

Real-Time Visibility

nexTrack eliminates the guesswork from gas inventory management through continuous monitoring of cylinder levels and usage patterns. The system tracks every tank movement, from delivery to installation to return, providing managers with complete visibility into their gas assets across multiple locations.

Traditional inventory management relies on manual checks and estimates that often prove inaccurate when production demands spike unexpectedly. nexTrack provides precise data on consumption rates, remaining capacity, and projected depletion times that enable proactive ordering rather than reactive emergency calls.

The system also tracks delivery schedules and driver locations in real-time, giving customers accurate arrival windows instead of vague time ranges. This precision helps operations plan their day around deliveries rather than waiting around for trucks that might show up anytime during a four-hour window.

Streamlined Operations

Automated reordering removes the burden of constant inventory monitoring from busy shop managers. nexTrack learns normal consumption patterns and triggers orders when levels drop to predetermined thresholds, ensuring supplies arrive before current stock runs out.

The system handles the complexity of managing multiple gas types across different departments or locations. A manufacturer with separate MIG, TIG, and plasma cutting operations can set different reorder points for each application while maintaining centralized oversight of all gas consumption.

Asset tracking prevents the costly problem of lost or misplaced cylinders that tie up working capital in unused inventory. nexTrack monitors cylinder locations and usage history, making it easy to locate specific tanks and ensure proper rotation of stock.

Data-Driven Decisions

Usage analytics reveal consumption patterns that help customers optimize their gas purchasing and inventory strategies. The data shows which departments consume the most gas, when usage peaks occur, and how production changes affect gas requirements.

This information enables better budgeting and cost control by providing accurate consumption forecasts based on actual usage history rather than rough estimates. Managers can spot inefficiencies like excessive gas consumption that might indicate equipment problems or operator training needs.

nexTrack also provides detailed reporting for safety compliance and audit requirements, automatically documenting gas handling procedures and maintaining records that regulatory inspections often require.

Enhanced Customer Service

The system enables proactive customer support by alerting our service team to potential issues before customers experience problems. If consumption patterns change dramatically or equipment shows signs of malfunction, our team can reach out with solutions before disruptions occur.

Emergency support becomes more effective when service representatives have complete visibility into customer gas usage and inventory levels. Instead of guessing what might be needed, they can see exactly what’s on hand and what requires immediate attention.

Our expert KnowHow™ extends through nexTrack by providing customers with insights and recommendations based on their specific usage patterns and operational needs.

Cost Control and Efficiency

nexTrack helps customers reduce carrying costs by optimizing inventory levels to match actual consumption rather than maintaining excessive safety stock. The system identifies opportunities to switch from cylinder delivery to more economical bulk systems for high-volume applications.

Automated billing and documentation reduce administrative overhead while providing detailed records for cost allocation and budgeting. Customers spend less time managing gas logistics and more time focusing on their core business operations.

nexTrack transforms gas supply from a reactive necessity into a proactive business advantage. Our customers Forge Forward with confidence knowing their gas inventory is optimized and their supply chain runs smoothly.
