Gas station replenishment out of the Cloud: iGOS processes one billion litres for DCC
DCC has processed one billion litres of fuel since it started using Implico’s iGOS cloud solution.
Irish company DCC operates the former Esso gas station network in France. After the takeover, Implico, together with DCC, implemented a new IT solution for the business: In record time, the software and consulting company migrated the business IT and back-office processes to the cloud.
Since then, 400 gas stations have been replenished entirely automatically via iGOS (Implico Global Operation Services) – everything from forecasting for a reliable resupply to the complete order-to-cash cycle. Each day, around five million liters of fuel flow virtually through the downstream cloud.
CIO of DCC, Peter Quinn said: “With this software-as-a-service model, we achieve down-to-earth total cost of ownership, providing a flexible platform for growth. This is a viable concept to win in a tough competitive environment.”
Implico bundles cloud services for the downstream industry under the iGOS brand. These data services and software-as-a-service solutions either run in Implico’s own high-performance data center or are managed by other prestigious cloud operators, depending on what the customer requests.
Managing Partner at Implico, Michael Martens said: “Today, data has to be accessible at any time, from anywhere, and it must be able to automatically connect with people and systems all over the world. Cloud solutions are more future-proof than any in-house solution in the world.”
