Customer Testimonials

"Mitchell Oil's goal was to increase efficiency and accuracy. AIMS' systems (COMPAS and AUTOSEND) have been wonderful tools to accomplish this goal. They have enabled us to streamline our business and reduce our staff. We are very pleased with the changes AIMS has assisted us in accomplishing in our business."

Carol Egolf, CFO
Mitchell Oil Company - Fayetteville, AR

"We use a couple of AIMS' systems. AUTOSEND for SIR analysis and dispatching capabilities is just as valuable to as as COMPAS is for manifest entry and accounting. Both systems expedite administration. We've had a good relationship with AIMS. They stress customer service, and I have found them to be fair in their dealings."

Rick Campbell, President
Progressive Energy, LLC - Ardmore, OK

"We have been using AUTOSEND for over 11 years. We find it to be an easy to use and an efficient means to retrieve information from our 60 store chain to the home office. We needed an early morning summary of the previous day's results for each location. AUTOSEND was the answer. We receive gasoline inventory readings, in-store sales, deposit, and competitive pricing information from each store by 9 AM each day. The dispatch reports help our dispatcher plan their next deliveries by noon."

Ross Mirabito, System Admin.
Mirabito Fuel Group - Sidney, NY

"AUTOSEND/AUTOSIR works. The state accepts it as a method to satisfy compliance regulations. AUTOSEND is a good tool for dispatching. We are pleased with both. And most importantly, AIMS support has been fantastic."
