Your Industry

APH Computers has worked closely with a number of organisations within the fuel and oil industry. We understand that there are a number of key differences between your business and standard businesses. APH has recognised the following key areas that are essential in any system designed for your industry to ensure your small business software application meets your needs

• RDCO Reporting

  HMRC ( Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) make specific, and often onerous, demands on reporting on fuel and oil distribution businesses. We appreciate that your RDCO (registered dealers in controlled oil) report must be completed monthly. This can be a painstaking and often manual, time consuming task.

  APH's  SAP Business One Consultants have configured SAP Business One to ensure your RDCO reports can be completed automatically at the click of a button.

  RDCO reporting is all about compliance. APH has tailored SAP Business One to include validation every step of the way. These validation points are stored in the database and will ensure that the necessary data is recorded for use in your RDCO report.

• VAT Returns

  You can now quickly run off your VAT returns without having to dedicate a member of staff solely to this task. With SAP Business One what may have taken days in the past can now be completed in minutes.

• Continual Price Changes

  Again, unlike many other businesses, the price of your product changes daily. It can be very time consuming and challenging to keep on top of this successfully. Our SAP Business One consultants have ensured that you can see your profit margins instantly. As soon as a member of your team commits a price to your system, the ability to see your gross margin on each order is displayed for the user instantly. Moreover sales performance reports can be produced quickly to allow key decision makers to monitor the business performance.

• User Activities

  SAP Business One incorporates a customer relationship management suite and through the Business Partner activities APH have configured the system to remind users when customers have requested top ups to their fuel supply. Repeat sales orders can be quickly duplicated in SAP Business One to save time on order entry.

• Delivery Instructions

  Oil and fuel is distributed far and wide, sometimes to extremely remote areas of the country. You may find instructions scribbled on a customer order or delivery note such as "round the corner, past the box, next to the large tree". SAP Business One has the ability to hold key information on delivery instructions to ensure drivers time is no longer wasted searching for those hard to reach delivery drops. Delivery instructions given to your sales team at the time of sale are automatically recorded against the customer and added to their sales order within SAP Business One.

• Lorry Loading Slips

  It is imperative at all times your drivers know exactly what they have on board due to the nature of the substances that they are transporting. Driver loads are recorded against a customer's sales order. At the beginning of each day the loading slips can be printed and given to each driver so that they know exactly what they are transporting and can demonstrate this to the relevant authorities.
