Implico’s SAP products offer unique features such as IDM, a truck dispatch solution for bulk products (fuel, gas or other liquids). Dispatchers can view transport requests for their designated dispatch area and use various interactive tools to combine transport requests within a single trip as well as assign vehicles and drivers with ease.

Secondary Distribution in Motion

Everything in perfect order

This app allows users to find, review, approve and secure data collation documents with ease, after which the documents are posted in the system.

Efficient route planning

The IDM app turns route planning into child’s play: customer orders and drivers can be allocated to trucks with ease when preparing delivery runs. Routes to be completed are displayed on a roadmap, as are vehicle depots, tank terminals and customer addresses.

CO2 footprints at a glance

With the Analyze Carbon Footprint App, users can calculate and display the emissions of all tank trucks and the trips they take. This guarantees full traceability at all times.
