The industry standard in secondary distribution
SAP S/4HANA SDM
We take a load off your mind.
Managing your operations as a downstream company is no easy feat. Volatile demand and consumption, coupled with increasing capital discipline, only add to the challenge of moving refined products from terminals to customers. It is little wonder that companies are feeling the pressure to raise margins and revenues. At the same time, there is a need to build resilient supply chains while connecting regularly with new partners.
For this to happen, energy companies across the globe need to accelerate their digital journeys by automating processes, reducing operating costs and leveraging the power of data to become future-ready, customer-centric companies.
While this all sounds good in theory, putting it into practice is more complex. The best place to start is to consolidate your IT landscape – from multiple applications to a single system – and create a structure that ties everything together.
- It takes competence to provide you with comprehensive advice on digital transformation
- It requires expertise for a digitalization strategy and business process optimization
- It calls for solutions that are tailored precisely to your requirements
