Implico's Strategic Approach to Bottled Gas
As the only SAP solution extension and development partner for secondary distribution and fuels retailing, Implico has long been recognized for its secondary distribution solution (SDM) tailored for bulk products in the oil and gas industry. This comprehensive solution integrates three essential tools – CPR for replenishment, IDM for logistics/trip planning, and PAT for process automation – effectively managing bulk scenarios.
However, while SAP offers solutions for packed products, bottled gas processes demand meticulous reconciliation, especially concerning return trips and handling empty or damaged bottles. Recognizing this gap, Implico embarked on a project to develop a tailored solution working closely with leading customers in the gas industry. By integrating bottled gas management into its SDM system within S4SCSD, Implico managed to streamline operations and offer clients a holistic solution for their gas distribution needs. This is the first of a series of circular economy applications by Implico.
