Kimber Petroleum Corp. - Largest independent gasoline distributor in New Jersey. Business Problem: Live phone order taking and Manual dispatching were very time consuming and required extensive training of personnel. Solution: Automated system for order taking, dispatching, reporting, invoicing. The Telephony and server-based software that Figtree developed, called Tiller, allows gas station personnel to send orders via telephone that are automatically entered into the system. Loads are calculated, orders are dispatched, actual delivery information entered and invoices are produced within Tiller. This system saves Kimber a great deal of time allowing for more efficient use of personnel. The telephone-based Tiller System automates orders for gasoline deliveries because the old person-to-person phone calls were too time-consuming. Gas stations can enter orders or enter inventory information by touch-tone phone. Data is made available to the desktop system in real-time. The Administrator does not have to answer the phone to take orders and can concentrate on scheduling the deliveries. The desktop-based Tiller System allows users to view daily orders. It includes tools to schedule deliveries; balance routes for drivers; and print Bills of Lading, Invoices and other reports.

The system can also generate a file of title information for use by Amazon.com and other online book stores. The Fact Sheet system provides a central location for this vital data. Before development of this system, such information was available in Word documents, spreadsheets, and hard copy (such as index cards) spread throughout Scholastic.
