Hamburg / Rotterdam. – Safe, smart and easy-to-implement: Implico, IT-specialist for the global liquid supply chain industry, presents a new terminal management system at StocExpo in Rotterdam – the cloud-based next-gen TMS. The standardized and modular software digitalizes operations especially of small and mid-size tank terminals – fast and easy. In addition, Implico will launch a ready-made edition of its feature-rich OpenTAS Go tank-terminal-solution at StocExpo, addressing customers looking for express end-2-end process automation. 

Implico’s next-gen cloud solution can be easily integrated with current and new systems via standardized API interfaces. It covers a range of different applications including monitoring of goods movements, asset management, stock accounting, customs/tax and process automation. The cloud-based software can 

• process and plan operations as well as service demands;
• capture and calculate required data;
• reduce time, costs, and manual effort

Next-gen TMS will not only satisfy terminal requirements but will also be expanded to different business units. The new cloud-based solution is Implico’s response to the challenges of the energy industry in transition,  continuously driven by global megatrends such as IT security, data analytics and the shift to renewable energies. At booth M1, Implico will welcome interested parties from all sectors of the supply chain and tank storage industry: terminal operators, fuel traders, IT providers and freight forwarders. 

“Digitalization is still a big step for many tank terminal operators due to the complexity of the implementation processes. With next-gen TMS we will facilitate this evolution and finally help digitization achieve its breakthrough”, says Rolf Adam, CEO of the Implico Group. “The new solution’s most important benefit is the simplicity with which it can be implemented. The cloud offers lots of possibilities here which we will roll out to the customers right now.” 

Furthermore, Implico will present new features of its leading edge solution for tank terminals, OpenTAS Go. Based on proven industry standards, the software is quick to implement and easy to maintain. As a key feature, it facilitates end-2-end business process integration within the organization as well as with all partners. Besides Implico will share valuable best practices and learnings from ongoing and recently completed tank storage projects with interested visitors.
