The automated route to digitalization
UnitedBPA
Automating business processes is an important factor for success, especially for companies that are part of the energy and natural resources supply chain. Automated processes increase operational efficiency, optimize throughput times, facilitate operational transparency, and improve flexibility when adapting to changes in business processes.
In an industry responsible for the processing and handling of hazardous goods, it is especially worthwhile to replace error-prone manual work with automated processes by digitalizing business processes on an end-to-end basis. Add that to the scarcity of qualified employees and Automation becomes an insulation for any business against the effects of employee turnover.
Through business process analysis, Implico’s UntedBPA provides consulting and implementation services tailored to meet the energy industry’s needs: from an initial end-to-end assessment identifying use cases, to a detailed requirements and process analysis until successful implementation.
UnitedBPA – Innovation – Implementation – Digitalization
UnitedBPA services enable you to deploy IT solutions quickly and efficiently in pursuit of intelligent automation. We offer consulting services, where we work with you to develop automation scenarios, as well as the rapid implementation to bring these solutions to life. Manual activities can be automated quickly and cost-effectively both internally and for your customers thanks to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Digital Process Automation (DPA) tools.
Imagine you are working in an office, and you receive multiple emails with important master data such as vessel and railcar information or even the day-end closing of multiple gas stations. RPA and DPA tools help you categorize this email flow and even understand the information within those emails and extract it. By doing so through pre-trained AI models, RPA and DPA tools can even forward this contextualized information to on-premises or cloud applications for further use: No more copying data from one screen to another.
Our consulting services help develop these automation scenarios, ensuring that each process is tailored to meet your specific needs. This is complemented by our fast implementation capabilities, allowing you to see results quickly.

PROfit your current process by focussing on enhanced design and software requirements.
Focusses on exactly what is necessary for an individual process, where and when you need it. This may mean increasing railcar turnaround time by connecting explosive-proof handhelds with your customer service representatives to leveraging GPS data to schedule bottlenecks ahead of time by connecting and tracking truck drivers. In turn, this reduces the idle time of your transport company as well as any contractually agreed demurrage.

The analysis lays the groundwork for implementing solutions that enhance safety, compliance, and efficiency. Thereby ensuring every investment is aligned with your business objectives along with industry standards such as ADR, ISO 9001 and EMCS.
