PDS Solutions

What PDS Solutions does

PDS Solutions is a privately held software company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2013 by Davy Nixon (President & CEO) and the principals of Pacer Fuels. The company specializes in customer portal solutions for wholesale petroleum marketers and distributors in the United States, with a team of 1-10 employees. Its flagship product, PetroDataSync™, originated as an internal customer portal at Pacer Fuels beginning in 2005 and was spun out into a commercial product in 2013 to serve the broader petroleum marketing industry. PDS Solutions monetizes through annual software license subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support, supplemented by professional services (custom web development, custom reports, automation, and consulting) priced via fixed-price or time-and-materials Service Orders. The company also operates an Authorized Partner channel for distribution through resellers and strategic partners.

The core technology is a PHP-based web application platform, cloud-hosted, that integrates with leading petroleum ERP systems and back-office accounting systems to automate data synchronization. PetroDataSync provides end-customers of petroleum marketers with self-service access to fuel pricing, invoice history, EFT history, dealer credit cards, fuel orders, tank readings, reporting, and email/push notifications through a responsive web interface and fully branded native iOS and Android mobile applications. The company emphasizes industry specialization (60+ years of combined petroleum industry experience among principals), responsive design across devices, and a 100% money-back guarantee. The platform is sold primarily through direct sales, supported by website content marketing, customer testimonials, product demonstration videos, and demo scheduling.

PDS Solutions operates exclusively in the United States with no international footprint, no external institutional funding, and no disclosed revenue. The customer base is concentrated among U.S. petroleum marketers of varying sizes, with testimonial customers including Thompson Kenny LLC (Marietta, GA) and Tex-Con Oil Company (Austin, TX). The business model combines recurring subscription revenue with project-based professional services, typical of vertical SaaS companies serving specialized SMB and mid-market segments.
