Data Reconciliation and Settlement
In an industry that demands efficiency and precision, Implico’s Data Collation, especially its Process Automation Toolset (PAT), has revolutionized the way energy companies manage their data reconciliation and settlement processes. Developed by Implico and natively integrated with SAP S4SCSD, PAT uses cutting-edge Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology to automate repetitive and manual tasks across multiple business functions.
Implico’s deep expertise in the energy and natural resources industry is evident in the development of PAT. By understanding the unique challenges faced by energy companies, Implico has created a tool that addresses the industry’s specific needs, helping to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.
*Implico’s Process Automation Toolset (PAT), seamlessly integrated with SDM and part of SAP S4SCSD, leverages advanced Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to optimize data reconciliation and settlement. This is especially the case for the energy sector but is also suitable for other businesses. Tailored to address the sector’s unique challenges, PAT automates manual tasks, enhancing operational efficiency and precision in energy management.
PAT is adept at automating repetitive and manual tasks, including data extraction, reconciliation, and the generation of billing reports and invoices. This reduces staff workload by up to 60%, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks.
Using RPA technology, PAT mimics human actions to interact with various software environments, ensuring the highest accuracy and efficiency in task execution.
As PAT is natively integrated within SAP S4SCSD, it´s a central component of the Implico Powerhouses SAP S/4HANA SDM (for secondary distribution) and SAP S/4HANA RFNO (for fuels retailing), offering a comprehensive platform for managing fuel distribution and retail operations.
PAT excels at automatically reconciling sales, inventory, and financial data, ensuring that all data points are accurately matched, reducing errors to a minimum and eliminating discrepancies.
Designed to handle large volumes of data, PAT is scalable to meet the needs of organizations of all sizes. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to various industry requirements and regulatory standards.
6 Key Benefits PAT brings to the Table:
By automating routine tasks, PAT significantly reduces the time and effort required for data reconciliation and settlement, paving the way to highly effective dispatch operations.
Automation reduces the need for manual intervention, lowering labor costs and minimizing the risk of human error.
PAT ensures a high level of accuracy in data handling, even with large data-volumes, which is critical for financial reporting and compliance purposes.
With routine tasks automated, employees can focus on more strategic, knowledge-based work, driving innovation and growth within the organization.

Implico integrates bulk and bottled gas management into its SDM system within S4SCSD, streamlining operations with tools for replenishment (CPR), logistics planning (IDM), and process automation (PAT), while addressing bottled gas needs like return trips and bottle management, offering cost-effective, fully integrated solutions for gas distribution.
Digitalization and Automation
In the energy and natural resources sector, PAT has proven to be an invaluable tool. For instance, in fuel distribution and retail operations, PAT automates the reconciliation of fuel deliveries and sales, ensuring accurate financial reporting and efficient inventory management. By interacting with third-party system like ERP´s or onboard unit providers, PAT provides a unified view of operations, enabling better decision-making and strategic planning.
Implico’s Process Automation Tool (PAT) stands out as a powerful RPA-based solution designed to streamline data reconciliation and settlement tasks. By automating these processes, PAT not only enhances efficiency and accuracy but also empowers organizations to focus on higher-value activities. For companies in the energy and natural resources industry, adopting PAT can lead to significant improvements in operational performance and strategic growth.
