What's different here

A loading bay is the end of a chain, not a system on its own.

Oil terminals run a chain that cannot afford a missing link: ERP order → TAS authorization → loading event → custody-transfer meter reading → BOL → invoice. Every step has a regulator, an auditor and a customer expectation behind it. The terminals that get this right do not just automate steps — they integrate the chain so that each handoff is timestamped, sourced and verifiable without an end-of-month reconciliation campaign.

What we measure

The KPIs that matter here.

Gate-to-gate time

Minutes per loading, from truck arrival to BOL issued — measured per shift, not per audit.

BOL-to-invoice cycle

Hours from loading completion to customer invoice. Validated transactions, not end-of-month catch-up.

Reconciliation gap

ERP ↔ TAS ↔ physical variance trended weekly. Exceptions tagged, not hidden.

Une chaîne intégrée

De l'ordre ERP au Jumeau Numérique, une chaîne intégrée.

La chaîne opérationnelle est le lieu où l'intention métier, la logique d'automatisation, la réalité terrain et la visibilité management se rencontrent. Sbridge conçoit ces transferts avant le début de l'implémentation.

The Sbridge Operating Chain A vertical flow diagram showing the ten layers of the integrated terminal operating chain, from ERP at the top through TAS, access control, pump and valve actuation, metered loading, safety protection, real-time inventory, billing reconciliation, digital twin and KPI scorecard at the bottom. The layers are connected by animated cyan flow lines indicating bidirectional data exchange. The Sbridge Operating Chain — ENTERPRISE — TAS & ACCESS — FIELD CONTROL & SAFETY — INTELLIGENCE 1.

Representative use case

From paper gate logs to a closed operating chain.

A multi-bay coastal terminal moved from paper gate logs and end-of-shift TAS handoffs to live ERP↔TAS authorization with driver/vehicle pre-clearance at the gate. Truck waiting time at the gantry dropped, BOL-to-invoice cycle was cut from 48 hours to a single business day, and monthly close gained an audit-traceable transaction log per loading.
