Late last week, DTN Energy announced jointly with ALON USA a three-year service agreement, in which DTN Energy will deliver ALON’s critical business documents via an ALON USA-branded private portal. The portal will be developed, hosted and maintained using DTN Energy’s dtnWebConnect services.

DTN Energy will continue to deliver business-critical information such as posted rack prices, credit card transaction information, invoices and electronic draft notices for both branded and unbranded customers. The portal will provide ALON customers with a user-friendly interface to access ALON USA Corporate and Marketing information.

“We want to make doing business with ALON USA easier for our customers,” said Kyle McKeen, ALON USA Marketing Vice President. “Partnering with DTN Energy allows us to deliver comprehensive information and provide dtnDataPlus data integration services for business documents,” he said.

“ALON USA has listened closely to what their customers want, in order to provide better services and complement their existing customer communication channels,” says Lori Hart, Director of Supplier Sales at DTN Energy. “DTN Energy will not only continue a legacy of great service for ALON USA’s customers but offer expanded services as well, including: fully automated and integrated prices, invoices, EFT’s, CCM’s and BOL’s.”

“We’re impressed with the new focus of DTN Energy, and we look forward to expanding our long and successful relationship,” said McKeen.

ALON USA, a fully-integrated refining and marketing enterprise operating in the Southwest, is a subsidiary of ALON Israel Oil Co. Ltd. ALON Israel purchased ATOFINA Petrochemicals Inc.’s downstream business, including its domestic fuels marketing business, pipelines, terminals and Big Spring, Texas refinery. Headquartered in Dallas, ALON USA controls the marketing rights to FINA gasoline throughout the Southwest.

Founded in 1991, DTN Energy delivers data solutions designed to improve data communication and transaction efficiencies for all participants in the refined fuels supply chain. DTN Energy’s mission is to provide real value to the downstream with data tools that improve supply chain management efficiency.
