- Format
- Tabular — multi-tenant relational back-office database (on-premise or RCC-hosted cloud) with 300+ canned reports and user-defined queries that have export capability; a mobile workstation line (MOGO) and handheld/meter-read uploads feed it; document images are stored alongside. No public API.
- Volume
- Dense longitudinal panel: with hundreds of fuel-company tenants each holding hundreds to thousands of metered accounts, the measured-read and delivery history plausibly spans tens of millions of account-period records and hundreds of millions of delivery/dispatch rows over the platform life, plus a stored scanned-document image corpus. Aggregate volume is large relative to the vendor's headcount.
- Users
- Institutional installed base rather than registered users — RCC serves propane and fuel companies across the US and Canada; tenant count is plausibly in the hundreds of fuel firms (bounded by a 65-person vendor and a ~$48.5M revenue band on a licensed back-office system), each holding hundreds to thousands of end customer accounts. Request further research for the exact tenant count.

- Growth
- Active — a current Version 10 release with a marketing line describing it as future-oriented fuel software, an active module catalogue (Dispatch Manager, MOGO mobile, accounting modules) and cloud-hosting options indicate continuing development on a long-lived platform.
- Launched
- ~1980s for Rural Computer Consultants and the original FDS product (the corporate record dates to 2011 for the current organisation and the firm is a long-established Minnesota fuel-software vendor); Version 10 of FDS — implying nine prior major versions — indicates a multi-decade product lineage, likely 2018-2022 for the current release.
