Case Study: Vopak achieves 4x faster agility with OutSystems

Vopak Gains 4x Agility Boost by Escaping ERP Lock-in

Vopak, the world’s largest independent tank terminal operator, needed to replace its JD Edwards ERP system but found that off-the-shelf alternatives were too restrictive and slow to support the company’s need for rapid innovation. To avoid ERP lock-in, Vopak chose OutSystems and used its low-code platform to support a blended IT strategy, combining SaaS for standard functions with custom-built applications for its differentiating terminal operations.

OutSystems helped Vopak build a software factory and a terminal management system with mobile-friendly apps, real-time data, and a customer portal. The results included a 4x agility boost, with changes now delivered in a month or less instead of four months, improved customer experience and NPS, and a 50% reduction in time spent on compliance-related tasks for terminal workers.
