Worley & Obetz, Inc. Seeks and Finds Innovation

Founded in 1946, Worley & Obetz, Inc. (W&O) is one of the fastest growing and largest family-owned energy companies in Pennsylvania. The company offers a wide array of products and services including AmeriGreenTM BioHeating Oil and BioDiesel, propane, 24 Hour Service Plans, heating and AC installations, duct cleaning, fleet fueling, and a wholesale department. Headquartered in Manheim, Pennsylvania, Worley & Obetz, Inc. services the Central Pennsylvania region.

W&O began their search for a strategic technology partner in late 2006 after experiencing rapid growth and several acquisitions. With over 350 million dollars in annuals sales, W&O recognized an immediate need to make improvements to their existing disparate systems to ensure future long-term success and commitment to their highest priority: customers and employees.

After the evaluation of top industry providers, W&O selected Cargas Energy software and Microsoft Dynamics GP financials. “Throughout the selection process, our goal was to find a flexible and adaptable solution to support our needs today and well into the future,” says Seth Obetz, Vice Chairman of W&O. “Cargas is providing that solution as well as a personal level of dedication to the success of our project. It was an easy decision.”

The integrated solution provides access to key financial and operational data across W&O’s three branch offices. In addition, the solution significantly reduces administrative overhead and manual processes, ultimately streamlining the overall process of daily operations through the use of mobile and wireless technologies.

“Cargas’ solution meets the industry specific functionality required to run our business. What made this solution stand above the rest is their innovative approach to software design. They’re tailoring the technology to our unique processes, giving us exactly what we need,” adds Seth Obetz.
