  • Patent number: 11966888
    Abstract: Technology for implementing an electronic run ticket exchange is provided. In an example method, electronic run ticket data is received from a client device, the electronic run ticket data representing a transaction for fluid. The electronic run ticket data is stored in an exchange data store. The electronic run ticket data is transformed to create additional data to be included in the electronic run ticket data, using a processor. Access to the electronic run ticket data by participants to the transaction is managed, and the electronic run ticket data, including the additional data, is reported to the participants.

  • Patent number: 11361288
    Abstract: Technology for measuring, collecting and transferring fluid transaction data is provided. In an example method, fluid flow data is identified from a fluid flow meter for a fluid transfer event. Scannable data comprising data indicative of the fluid transfer event and the fluid flow data is generated. The scannable data may include a scannable code. The scannable data may be provided for display and scanned using a portable scanning device. The scannable data, including the scannable code, may be transferred as fluid transaction data to a remote device using a wireless communication protocol for storage and/or analysis by the remote device.

  • Publication number: 20190050830
    Abstract: Technology for managing electronic run ticket data is provided. In an example method, a fluid tank is electronically identified using a client device. Fields of the electronic run ticket are populated based on the electronically identifying the fluid tank and further based on variable data. The electronic run ticket is transmitted as an encrypted electronic run ticket to a management server, the encrypted electronic run ticket being encrypted using a unique key. The electronic run ticket is marked as complete and at least a portion of the electronic run ticket is locked from editing to create an original document which exists as a fixed and accurate record of the fluid transaction.
