A More Flexible Path to Tank Monitoring: Otodata Unveils TMaaS Subscription Service

Otodata is expanding its commitment to accessible, scalable tank monitoring with the launch of TMaaS — Tank Monitoring as a service — a subscription model designed to remove the financial barriers that have historically slowed adoption for energy retailers. Otodata will leverage TMaaS to bring its proven monitoring technology to more customers than ever before.

For years, Otodata has led the industry in reliable hardware, long‑life batteries, and intuitive software through the Nee‑Vo software and apps. TMaaS builds on that foundation by offering retailers a simple monthly subscription that includes hardware, connectivity, analytics, alerts, and ongoing support — eliminating upfront capital costs and making it easier for companies to scale quickly. This service also includes the installation of the monitor and the management of the implementation process.

“Propane companies want to modernize, but many are held back by the initial investment,” says Jonathan Loeb, Otodata’s business development leader, U.S. western region. “TMaaS changes that. It gives them everything they need — devices, data, and support — in one predictable monthly fee, added Loeb. “By partnering with Otodata to manage and implement the monitor program, TMAAS allows companies to quickly and effectively scale their telemetry program, giving companies the critical data they need to more efficiently manage their on-time delivery and logistics while using their own resources to service their customers.”

Under the new model, with the help of Otodata, retailers can deploy monitors across more tanks, improve forecasting accuracy, reduce runouts, and optimize delivery routes without waiting for budget cycles or capital approvals. The subscription includes access to Otodata’s full network: real‑time tank level data, customizable alerts, route optimization tools, and seamless integration with the Nee-Vo software and apps.

This program also strengthens Otodata’s ability to support retailers who are expanding into multi‑tank sites, metered accounts, and commercial operations. With TMaaS, customers can scale monitoring across complex portfolios without worrying about hardware replacement, maintenance, or connectivity management.

“TMaaS is about accessibility,” added Loeb. “Whether a retailer has 50 tanks or 5,000, they can now deploy monitoring at the pace their business demands.”

As energy retailers continue to face labor shortages, rising delivery costs, and unpredictable seasonal demand, TMaaS offers a practical path forward: modern tank intelligence without the upfront investment. For Otodata, it’s another step in our mission to make remote monitoring simple, affordable, and available to every distributor.

With TMaaS, Otodata is not just offering a new model — it’s opening the door for more retailers to operate efficiently, sustainably, and confidently in a changing market.
