Majors Management has selected Gravitate as its software provider to help transform its fuel supply and carrier management processes. Majors has begun implementing Gravitate’s flagship Supply and Dispatch platform across its 1,400 retailer and dealer locations, and expect to be live by the summer driving season.
Majors made headlines in 2023 for its acquisition of MAPCO, which involved the addition of 192 unbranded sites to its largely branded portfolio. Majors purchases hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel each year, and works with a portfolio of carrier partners to execute its logistics operations. The new Gravitate solution will provide enhanced functionality by managing supply contracts, creating real-time supply valuations, supply optimization/best buy, order status and ETAs, inventory management, order generation and carrier dispatch.
“As Majors continues to grow, the efficiency of our operations is increasingly important. We have a well-diversified supply portfolio and great carriers, but we needed the right software solution to optimize our supply decisions and logistics execution,” said Majors Management’s SVP of Fuels, Ismail Uzdil. “Gravitate was the obvious choice for us, given the sophistication of their platform and their understanding of our business. I also love the fact that they are serving carriers and c-stores, which is going to help us with visibility and control.”
The Gravitate Supply & Carrier Management solution adds new functionality to its existing Supply and Dispatch suite by connecting fuel retailers and common carriers via its new Crossroads integration framework. The new suite enables fuel retailers without trucks to gain more control and visibility over their supply chains, source dynamically and quickly communicate with carriers. The new solution also adds new modules such as Freight Invoicing and Billing and Supplier Invoice Reconciliation.
“Majors is a tremendous company, and an important part of our overall strategy to help the fuels industry share data more freely and help our customers leverage AI and automation to make better supply decisions,” said Gravitate’s CEO, Mike Scharf. “We are grateful for this new partnership.”
“Ismail is one of the first people I met when I joined the industry. He is one of the most positive, energetic people I know. I am excited to be able to work alongside him and the Majors team to help transform their business and support their rapid growth,” said Gravitate’s VP of Sales, Tom Hunt.
