About Key Information Technologies

Petroleum software
built by people who
get petroleum.

Key Information Technologies has been building and supporting petroleum ERP software for fuel jobbers, home heating operators, and lubes distributors since 1994. Independent, Michigan-based, and still built by the same team that started it.

Who We Are

A small company
that does one thing
extremely well.

Key Information Technologies is a Michigan-based software company with a single focus: petroleum ERP for fuel jobbers, home heating operators, and lubes distributors. We don't build accounting software for restaurants. We build BookWorks, and we've been building it since 1994.

That focus means something. Every feature in the platform, every support specialist, and every implementation we run is shaped by 30+ years of deep petroleum industry knowledge.

“We are not a large company with a petroleum division. We are a petroleum company — full stop.”
— The Key Information Technologies principle
🎯
Single-industry focus

BookWorks serves fuel jobbers, petroleum marketers, home heating operators, and lubes distributors. Our entire R&D roadmap and support knowledge are concentrated in one industry.

🔗
Petroleum-native, not petroleum-adapted

BookWorks was designed from the ground up for petroleum wholesale — terminal pickups, BOL processing, rack-based pricing, multi-state tax reporting, ATG monitoring, and degree-day dispatching.

📞
Direct support, always

Unlimited phone and email support included in your monthly fee. The people who answer have often worked in petroleum accounting or operations themselves.

🛠️
Built and maintained in-house

BookWorks is built, maintained, and supported by the same team — no outsourcing. When you request custom development, it's done by the people who wrote the platform.

Why Independence Matters

Not acquired.
Not consolidated.
Not going anywhere.

Between 2017 and 2018, PDI Technologies acquired FACTOR, DM2, Pinnacle/FuelSmart, and FireStream — the four largest independent petroleum ERP vendors besides BookWorks. Key Information Technologies was not acquired. It remains fully independent — same ownership, same team, same mission.

No acquisition risk. Key Information Technologies is privately held. Your platform investment is not subject to a private equity exit strategy.

No forced migrations. Your BookWorks configuration is yours. You won't receive a notice that your version is deprecated and you need to migrate.

Stable pricing. We don't have venture debt to service. Your monthly fee is stable and predictable.

Same people, long tenure. The support team you work with today is likely the same team you'll work with in five years.

Decisions made in Birmingham. Product roadmap, pricing, and customer commitments are made by the Key Information Technologies team — not a parent company in another city.
