The Cadiz Story
Cadiz, Ohio — our flagship. A truck-to-rail crude terminal with a small crew, a rail spur, and a bet: that a terminal run on purpose-built AI software could out-operate one run on paper, phone calls, and tribal knowledge.
Year one
The first full year of AI-assisted operations was a scale-up year. The terminal commissioned two additional pump skids — P-102 and P-103 — taking the rack from a single loading point to three, without adding a single office hire.
The results, in the only numbers we publish:
- Revenue grew 4.9x year over year.
- Revenue per labor-hour improved +64%.
- Two new pump skids commissioned and folded into the operations software in the same year they were built.
How
Every job that used to live on a clipboard got purpose-built software. Load capture became a confirmed digital ticket the moment the pump stops. Crew hours reconcile themselves. The rail spur got cameras that read car numbers. The office TV became a live operations display. The desk got a 24/7 operations layer that drafts the emails, builds the reports, and never forgets a railcar.
None of it replaced the crew. All of it replaced the paperwork, the retyping, and the second-guessing. The people load trucks; the software keeps the books, the schedules, and the watch.
Why we publish percentages
Our customers' business is their business. We publish growth multiples and efficiency percentages — never absolute dollars, never volumes, never counterparty names. The trend line tells the story just fine.
