Oil and gas supply chain management
Efficient delivery of oil products, combined with management of stock levels, are vital activities in order for downstream oil businesses to protect or increase thin margins. This requires precise, up-to-the-minute, information on fuel levels as well as the ability to flexibly schedule and manage deliveries.
Logica is helping our clients to meet these challenges. For example, our sales to cash solution provides the link from sales, through stock changes, to the automated ordering of oil products, delivery and the generation of invoices. It utilises sales and tank dip data, combined with powerful mathematical routines, to generate optimal delivery schedules, uses mobile technologies to direct the driver to the site, and hand-held devices to generate electronic invoices for immediate presentation. This leads to cost savings in delivery, less money tied up in stock and improved cash flow from faster payments for deliveries.
We deliver a combination of our own and third party solutions and products. For example, we are helping an oil and gas major to standardise downstream operational processes across 10 European countries using SAP IS-Oil.
