🏭 RapidThrive INDUSTRIAL GAS | On-The-Move
🚀 The CEO Who Left the Laggards Behind
“If I hadn’t moved, we’d still be chasing trucks on spreadsheets.”
Three years ago, Andreas Lenz, CEO of NordGas GmbH, sat in a boardroom watching another month of rising costs, delayed deliveries, and the same old excuses:
“That’s just how our industry works.”
But Andreas had had enough.
“I realized we weren’t in the gas business anymore — we were in the decision business. And we were failing to decide fast.”
🎯 What He Did
In just 90 days, Andreas and his team partnered with RapidThrive + ChatGPT to:
✅ Replace long-term contracts with O₂-as-a-Service subscriptions
✅ Launch an AI-powered dispatch system — cut delivery time by 20x
✅ Build a live ROCE dashboard for real-time strategic adjustments
✅ Slash O&M cost by 70% and CO₂ emissions by 40%
💬 How He Feels Today
“We’re profitable, agile, and future-proof.
We don’t chase customers. They come to us.
My leadership team has more control, more clarity, and more time to think.
And honestly? We’re finally having fun again.”
He’s not fighting fires.
He’s lighting the way forward.
😬 What the Laggards Say
🧓 “It’s a risky move…” (They said that three years ago.)
💸 “AI sounds expensive.” (Meanwhile, Andreas just freed €10M in CapEx.)
📉 “Let’s wait and see.” (Now they’re trying to hire his former ops team.)
🧂 “It’s easy for him — he’s got the right partners.”
→ (Exactly. He picked RapidThrive.)
💡 The Takeaway
You don’t have to be the biggest.
You just have to be the fastest to decide, test, and adapt.
Andreas didn’t wait for “the perfect plan.”
He just started with one clear objective:
→ Improve ROCE in 90 days
Then he stacked results until he owned the future.
