“CMS has helped us organize our hedging activities and has given us guidelines to work from to avoid risk, lock in our cost, and maximize our margins. We have saved several hundred thousand dollars in product cost since we began working with CMS.”
Trent Hampton
CEO, Lakes Gas
“In 2010 I spent 2 days of my honeymoon at a Cost Management Solution hedging seminar in Texas. Being relatively new to the industry it was a lot to take in, but this seminar laid the foundation for a better understanding of our supply picture. The things I have learned from them has transformed our buying and whole business model. Our company's growth and success over all of the years is largely due to our work with the Cost Management team. They have helped us developed a pricing program for our customers and reduced price volatility.”
Ryan Gunderson
President, Superior Fuel Co.
“We were one of the first to offer customers a pre-buy option 10 years ago. Most of our competitors now also offer a pre-buy. CMS helps us make better hedge decisions to hedge better than our competitors. Our opportunity is to become better hedgers than our competitors. Financially our margins have been increased by hedging.”

“Dale, Mark and Dustin have helped Hino Gas hedge its LPG load many times, for many years. I have had great success in doing this and I'm a strong believer in it, as I lock-in my wholesale cost, I know exactly what I will be paying on a go-forward basis. I am ahead, positive, in funds gained, over the years, allowing Dale and his team, to assist me in hedging my book. If you buy a lot of propane on the wholesale level, I highly recommend utilizing CMS and their team's experience to help you hedge your load and get the best value possible.”

President, Hino Gas Sales, Inc.
“We have been working with Cost Management Solutions for about 20 years. We rely on their daily reports for up-to-date market information. They also have a nice mix of charts, graphs and relevant market articles. This data helps us determine when the market indicates a potential good time to lock in prices. Dale and his team are there when needed, including when we are ready to execute trades, provides clarifications on markets and deal confirmations. Locking in product helps take the volatility out of the market and helps our customers so they can secure locked in pricing for the heating seasons which many of them take advantage of. We have also locked in product to secure contracts for various situations and lengths of time.”

“CMS gives me the up-to-date information to make good business decisions. We are very happy with the information coming to us multiple times per day. Most days we are anxiously awaiting the reports. Having historical market information helps us to recognize trends in the market. This gives us more tools in the toolbox to use when making big decisions. We are able to see out at least three years and make hedging decisions or prebuy decisions with information that we know is correct. Kowing the items in the news that affect propane pricing as it's happening has really been beneficial for us.”
