AIMS, INC. AND SIMMONS CORPORATION HAVE PARTNERED TO BRING A
COMPLETE FUEL MANAGEMENT SOLUTION TO PETROLEUM MARKETERS AND
CONVENIENCE STORE OPERATORS
Monroe, Louisiana — May 9, 2011 — AIMS, Inc. today announced that they have
entered into a joint marketing partnership with SIMMONS Corporation, to market their
fuel management solutions. Whether the requirement is for automatic tank gauges, a
dispatching solution or a complete fuel tank management system including SIR analysis,
AIMS can oblige.
SIMMONS, headquartered in Richardson, TX, specializes in providing tank gauges, web
dispatching, and fuel inventory management software that can collect daily fuel sales
and daily fuel tank levels, detect tank and line leaks, and provide statistical inventory
reconciliation. SIMMONS’ automatic tank gauging (ATG) systems monitor thousands of
tanks throughout North America and Europe. SIMMONS’ newest service, ClearView, is
the gold-standard of fuel monitoring systems. By continuously reconciling every sale to
changes in tank levels, ClearView detects the smallest fuel shrinkage issues and alerts CStore owners. ClearView provides the oversight of equipment and fuel inventory
required by today’s fuel resellers. With Clearview, owners & operators can see fuel
losses by category, losses due to temperature change, and delivery shortages in detail,
which has never been possible before.”

marketers and c-store operators to manage their businesses profitability”, said David
Dorries, Director of Sales and Marketing for AIMS. “AIMS is committed to driving out
unnecessary costs and increasing efficiencies for our clients, and fuel inventory
