Fuel, lubricant, and propane distributor across the Western US
Christensen is a family-owned fuel and propane distributor serving commercial, retail, and fleet customers across the Western United States since 1980. The company is mid-cycle through an ERP transition while wrestling with billing automation and route optimization — suggesting operational maturity constraints in a traditionally manual-heavy business. Hiring skews finance and ops (23 of 43 roles), indicating the organization is investing in back-office modernization to support growth rather than sales expansion.
Christensen distributes fuel, lubricants, and propane to commercial businesses, retail fuel stations, and fleet operators across the Western United States. The company operates as a privately held, family-owned business with 201–500 employees based in Richland, Washington. Current technology infrastructure centers on ServiceNow, Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle, with fleet-management tools (Fleetio, Motive) embedded in operations. Active projects reveal a company in transition: ERP modernization, billing system automation, and delivery route optimization are the top three initiatives, reflecting pressure to reduce back-office costs and billing cycle times while scaling without proportional headcount growth.
