About The Customer
NFI Industries is a fully integrated North American supply chain solutions provider. The company generates over $3 billion in annual revenue and employs more than 15,000 associates. NFI owns facilities globally and operates approximately 60 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space. Its dedicated fleet consists of over 4,600 tractors and 13,000 trailers operated by 3,800 company drivers and leveraging partnerships with 500 independent contractors.

The company’s business lines include dedicated transportation, distribution, brokerage, transportation management, port drayage, intermodal, global logistics, ecommerce fulfillment, and real estate.
The Challenge
NFI Industries, a leading North American supply chain solutions provider, was facing challenges in managing sales reps and improving sales productivity. The company's previous sales engagement solution did not provide the ability to easily track, report on, and understand the impact of sales efforts across the team. In an industry characterized by heavy competition and long, strategic sales cycles, NFI needed a better way to create a sales pipeline and win deals. The company was in search of technologies that could allow managers to better track sales performance, manage daily activities, and report on the sales pipeline as a whole.
The Solution
NFI Industries found the solution to their challenges in Revenue.io. The Revenue.io team ensured that NFI could achieve fast, measurable results even before implementation. With the help of RingDNA, a feature of Revenue.io, reps could easily dial prospects from a single location while gaining all the necessary contextual information for successful calls. Additionally, the implementation of Conversation AI made sales managers more effective. Instead of sitting with each rep for an hour to listen to calls and provide feedback, Conversation AI allowed NFI to record conversations and provide feedback directly within the platform.

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
