The System of Record for Bulk Liquids Terminals Operators

In the past...
Historically, bulk liquids terminals have had paper-based and or messy digital data. The reason for this stems from a few obstacles:
Unwillingness to move to software systems
Point solution software systems (for example only handling truck rack control for a multi-modal terminal)
Pipeline, rail, marine and truck movements being managed separately
Inventory being tracked in spreadsheets and/or in a truck-focused TMS
Hardware and instrumentation not being open to integration with a central operating system
Because of this, terminal customers, even 1st party terminal customers, often have delayed and inaccurate data about their movements and positions. Processes have been developed and hardened by operators and their customers to overcome this issue and now CIOs, CFOs view this as largely a back office cost of doing business.
Disparate or non-existent software systems should no longer be acceptable
This is no longer the case with the Liquid Commodities Logistics Platform from Dearman Systems. For refined products, crude, NGLs, chemicals, and ethanol and for all movement types (truck, rail, marine, pipeline, tank to tank), the platform has purpose-built workflows enabling a single operating system. This means, aside from the operational benefits, a single data set for reporting, integrations, and AI analysis.
Your SCADA gives you operational control and insights. Dearman’s platform completely manages and automates all logistical loading sequences and corresponding workflows while uniquely combining operational data with business data.
