A bulk distributor’s top responsibility is ensuring the correct product is delivered to the proper tank on time. While contamination may not occur frequently, it can be costly if it happens and is not caught by the driver or customer at the time of delivery.
What tools do you give your drivers to ensure they don’t cross-fill and contaminate a customer tank or asset?
Whether you distribute bleach, gases, fuels, or lubricants, manufacturers such as ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron have increased their focus on product integrity. They expect distributors to have tools and processes to avoid contamination.
We’ve collaborated with key manufacturers to develop a 3-way match system between the compartment, product, and tank that ensures product integrity. You can enable 3-way matching at the truck/trailer level or enforce it across all your trucks.
Enhanced Load Sheet System with Barcode Scanning and Compartment Validation in goRoam
3-way matching is implemented in goRoam using a load sheet with 2D barcodes unique to each truck and compartment for each day. The product and quantity are loaded and recorded by compartment during the load using a barcode scan.
This system supports compartment validation using totes or on trucks with varying compartments. At delivery, the driver selects the product and scans the compartment barcode. When filling assets, they scan each asset like a standard fill, and the goRoam app confirms compartment-tank compatibility. The driver is alerted if the tank is not configured for that product. If the truck uses our electronic meter configuration, the solenoid remains closed, preventing any product from being pumped.
The goRoam app includes extensive auditing, allowing you to see each instance where a driver attempted to fill an asset with the wrong product. Even without 3-way matching, the system still confirms product compatibility, preventing gas in a diesel tank, ATF in a lube tank, or bleach in an acid tank.

Our system employs a 3-way match between the compartment, product, and tank, ensuring product integrity. Drivers use a load sheet with unique 2D barcodes for each truck and compartment daily. During loading, the product and quantity are recorded with barcode scans. At delivery, the driver selects the product and scans the compartment barcode. If the tank is not configured for that product, the driver is alerted. With an electronic meter configuration, pumping is prevented. The system also audits attempted fills for wrong products.
In goRoam, the 3-way matching process uses a daily load sheet with unique 2D barcodes for each truck and compartment. During loading, product and quantity are recorded by compartment with barcode scans. At delivery, the driver selects the product and scans the compartment barcode. The system confirms compartment-tank compatibility, alerts for mismatches, and prevents pumping if the configuration is incorrect. Extensive auditing tracks attempted fills for wrong products.
The goRoam app ensures compartment validation through barcode scanning and product selection. Unique 2D barcodes for each truck and compartment are scanned during loading to record product and quantity. At delivery, the driver selects the product and scans the compartment barcode. The system verifies compartment-tank compatibility, alerts for mismatches, and prevents pumping if the configuration is incorrect. Extensive auditing tracks any attempted fills for wrong products.
Yes, the goRoam app includes features such as barcode scanning, product selection, and compartment validation to prevent contamination. Unique 2D barcodes for each truck and compartment are scanned during loading to record product and quantity. At delivery, the driver selects the product and scans the compartment barcode. The system verifies compartment-tank compatibility, alerts for mismatches, and prevents pumping if needed. Extensive auditing tracks any attempted fills for wrong products.
Our system ensures product compatibility through various checks and alerts. Even without 3-way matching, our system confirms compatibility, preventing actions like putting gas in a diesel tank, ATF in a lube tank, or bleach in an acid tank. The goRoam app alerts drivers if the tank is not configured for the selected product and prevents pumping if needed. Extensive auditing tracks any attempted fills for wrong products, ensuring product integrity and customer satisfaction.
[…] Product integrity – By scanning a barcode on each tank delivery, drivers ensure the product they are pumping matches the tank and the last product delivered, which guards against product integrity issues whether you face product integrity issues weekly or quarterly. With only 1 issue/year/truck you would save $5k/incident alone from remediation cost savings, assuming there are no legal costs related to the customer discovering this problem. See how our mobile app reduces product integrity issues. […]
