Tesco Chooses OpenTAS to Manage Fuel Supply Chain

LONDON, May 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- British Retailer TESCO chooses OpenTAS Software for Fuels Supply Chain Solution for Service Station Network

The Implico Group are pleased to announce that it will implement OpenTAS for Tesco. Following a lengthy and detailed selection process, the world's third-largest retailer has decided on OpenTAS. The Best of Breed Fuels Supply Chain Solution, developed by Implico, will be used to automatically replenish the retail giant's service stations and integrate with Terminals, Transport and ERP systems. The ultimate objective being a "lights-out" operation.

The fuels business was originally intended to support the company's grocery business, but quickly grew to an important part of the company's overall strategy. It has been managed to date with an internally developed system and supported by manual processes. Due to the growth in the sector, Tesco went to market in 2008 to find the best in class, fully integrated fuels supply chain solution that could be deployed to an ever challenging economic climate across the diverse geography of the UK and Ireland.

Implico were seen by Tesco to offer the world class solution they had been looking for, and combined with their depth of industry expertise, proven track record and global presence, were selected. Tesco's decision to rely on the oil and gas experts from Implico was reinforced by positive recommendations from Topaz Energy (Ireland).
