Operating a network of advanced tank terminals in Europe with a combined capacity of 6,3 million m3 over 8 terminals. By facilitating smooth-running customer supply chains ensuring the continuous flow of products that are essential to our lives. Everywhere in the world, storage terminals hold products that require special attention: Oil, Gas, and Chemicals. Plus all kinds of other liquids and half-solids. This complex business has many different stakeholders and partakers: Terminal operators, Stock owners, Transport agencies, Tax officials, and many others. To make the most of their operations, all of these entities must work together fluidly, transparently, and collaboratively. The key to this is data. The more accurate and accessible it is, the better the storage units can organize the keeping, fetching, and delivering of the products they hold. As tank farms are central hubs in the downstream supply chain, their capacity to work smoothly and efficiently is vital for all follow-up processes. That is where ERP/TMS (Terminal Management System) applications such as OpenTAS come in. A TMS application optimizes and automates logistic and administrative functions in oil & gas terminals.
