In these tough economic times, people are always looking for ways to stretch their money. People are always looking for the lowest price on food, the cheapest gas, all in an effort to conserve their hard-earned money.
Complimenting this notion is the world's demand for cleaner, and cheaper sources of energy, as well as lowering the world's dependence on foreign oil, and reducing one's overall carbon footprint.
In much the same manner that SAP is focused on delivering better, more powerful functionality to provide more value to the end customer, the founders of Blu, saw the abundance of natural gas as a more cost-effective and cleaner alternative to diesel or gasoline, allowing consumers to save money while saving the environment.
In 2012, Blu LNG launched their business designed to dramatically increase the availability of clean, natural gas to end-consumers. In just 18 months, they have built and opened more than 30 gas-station-like, natural gas station locations across the United States. These stations quickly became very popular, and Blu's business grew dramatically. In fact, the growth was such that Blu could no longer operate on their existing business management system.
In early 2013, Blu partnered with Navigator, SAP's #1 Global Partner for Cloud Solutions, to select and implement SAP's complete software-as-a-service (SaaS) ERP application, SAP Business ByDesign.
"We are thrilled Blu selected and successfully implemented SAP Business ByDesign," said Grant Fraser, President & CEO of Navigator. "Not only was the project installed on-time and on-budget, but Blu is already seeing the benefits of running SAP Business ByDesign. They are actively reducing overhead, and applying those savings to expanding their business; not to mention raising the bar for other energy production-oriented enterprises."
