Petroleum Software by Summit

Do you spend hours each month digging through mounds of paperwork, combing through spreadsheets and tables, and think, “There’s got to be a better way?” There is. With Summit you can streamline your processes from the moment you get an order from a customer to the moment you file taxes, saving you days-worth of time and eliminating errors. No longer do you need to take multiple steps to generate an invoice, track customer pricing in separate spreadsheets, or spend days each month filing taxes. Summit really makes it just that easy.


Price Control

Calculating customer pricing has never been easier. Summit gives you the ability to offer your customers the pricing options they demand, while ensuring the margins you desire. Eliminate the need to look up and calculate pricing in separate spreadsheets. Once a customer has been set up, pricing is automatically calculated at the time invoices and/or orders are created. This pricing can be overridden when required.

AUTOMATE SPECIAL PRICING

Special pricing is designed to give you flexibility in establishing customer pricing while ensuring your costs are in line with your prices. Pricing can be established by customer, by product, or class of product. Say goodbye to spreadsheets and other manual price-tracking methods thanks to Summit’s automation. To see a list of Special Pricing calculation methods, download our brochure.

IMPORT RACK PRICING

Summit gives you the ability to import rack pricing directly from the vendor, saving you time and guarding your margins. Summit interfaces directly with Axxis, DTN, Chevron, BP, Marathon, and more. Rack Pricing feeds directly into Special Pricing so you can quickly calculate customer price based on rack.

ELIMINATE FREIGHT CALCULATION ERRORS

Whether you own your own trucks or contract haulers, Summit makes sure you can recoup your freight costs while remaining competitive. Calculate freight based on amount, miles, or rate and establish minimum gallon requirements. Summit allows you to create separate freight bills as well as pending payables.

Tax Reporting

SAVE TIME WITH COMPLETE INTEGRATION

For those calculating taxes outside of their accounting and inventory management system, Summit’s incorporated tax reporting system offers the most significant labor savings. Summit can literally do in minutes what now takes days to do by hand. Federal, state, local, sales, and excise taxes are all handled in a streamlined process.

CALCULATE TAX IN REAL-TIME

Tax schedules are stored in the system and exemptions can be noted by customer, by product or class. Whenever relevant transactions are made, tax information is stored and tracked through the system in real-time.

CALCULATE MULTI-STATE TAXES WITH EASE

Inbound taxes, outbound taxes, splash-blending, multi-state taxes, and tax exemptions are all accounted for. If you pick up fuel in one state, splash-blend it, and sell it in another state, Summit can quickly sort out how much tax is owed each state and if any exemptions can be applied.

FILE PAPER AND/OR ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

When it comes time to submit your taxes, Summit prints out all the necessary tax documents, and, if your state requires, submits them electronically. That information is then stored so that when audits occur, they can be quickly and easily resolved.

Inventory

While most transport models keep little or no inventory on-hand, Summit is hard at work on the back end ensuring proper in-truck inventory valuation and making the proper AP and GL entries.

Summit allows you to split loads, disperse to one or more customers, transfer inventory to consigned locations, and disperse remaining fuel to bulk plants. Splash-blends and additives are also easily accounted for.

No matter how you decide to distribute your fuel, Summit remains in-step beside you ensuring that you can account for every gallon and every cent.
