Retail operational excellence

The downstream oil business faces multiple challenges. Intense competition amongst industry players means that margins are thin. Expansion through the creation of forecourt convenience stores brings new revenues, but additional challenges in another low-margin business. Like other retail businesses, downstream oil operators also need to cost-effectively process card payments and combat fraud.

Logica is helping downstream oil businesses to meet these challenges and improve their profits by striving towards retail operational excellence. This means increased efficiency, and reduced costs for processes throughout the downstream business. Our sales to cash solution improves scheduling and delivery of oil products. Through our cards processing solutions and services  our clients are able to reduce the costs of processing payments and combat fraud. We offer either stand alone cards IT solutions or a fully outsourced service. We also work with our clients to reduce IT costs through the integration of site systems and head office IT systems covering multiple ownership formats from company-owned, company-operated (COCO) to dealer-owned, dealer-operated (DODO).
