Gravitate is pleased to announce that Huck’s Convenience Stores – AKA Martin and Bayley, INC – are replacing their legacy supply optimization and dispatching software with Gravitate’s Best Buy & Dispatch solution.

Huck’s, a Midwest convenience store chain with 120+ locations, was searching for partnership opportunities that could enhance their supply and logistics operations and deliver a better experience for drivers, dispatchers and supply managers.

Huck’s understands the need to improve productivity and internal decision-making processes to meet market demand in a competitive industry. Their dynamic operations vary in complexity and advancement requires reliable support from a software partner that leverages AI and Automation to deliver end-to-end results.

Paulette Hosick, Huck’s Director of Fuels, and a transportation industry veteran, commented, “Given the volatility we’re facing with fuel supply and the driver shortage, I was looking for a solution to future-proof our business. Gravitate will help us make better supply decisions and increase the productivity of our drivers and dispatchers. The Gravitate team has a smart but simple solution, and they understand our business.”

Gravitate applies AI and Automation to the supply and logistics challenge and helps c-stores keep sites wet with the lowest possible laid-in cost of fuel. Gravitate uses the same innovative technology to maximize the utilization of trucks and drivers, offering a compelling return on investment.
