On 5 November, Olíudreifing (ODR), one of Iceland’s largest distributors of fuel and oil products, went live with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS combined with FuelVision365
About ODR
ODR operates a nationwide network of depots and service stations and distributes an impressive 70% of all fuel used across Iceland.
Oliudreifing was founded, among other reasons, to manage the distribution and inventory of its owners’ fuel, which at the time were Olíufélagið hf. and Olíuverslun Íslands. On the company’s first day of operation, January 1, 1996, distribution began in Reykjavik, Hafnarfjordur, and Hvalfjordur. After that, locations were added one after another.The storage facilities are located across the country with a total storage capacity of 350 million liters.
On November 1, 1999, the company took over operations in Isafjordur and then had distribution of all liquid fuels in the country, excluding Keflavik and Reykjavik airports. Oliudreifing dispatches fuel both according to the wishes of fuel sellers and requests from customers.
The company also operates vehicle workshops, ironworks, pump and electrical workshops. They take care of the maintenance and development of the company’s assets and the technical equipment of service stations.
Initially, nearly all of Oliudreifing’s staff came from the two oil companies or their agents. In addition to its main activities, the company has over time undertaken maintenance tasks for various parties. Today, about 130 people work at Oliudreifing across the country. The company owns and operates a significant number of tank trucks, freight trucks, and tractor units, as well as smaller vehicles. The tanker Keilir, which is a 700 cubic meter dispatch boat, is also operated by Oliudreifing and transports fuel around the country.
ERP implementation: Business Central & FuelVision365
This project was delivered in close collaboration with our partner Advania. Advania managed the Business Central implementation and Alistar delivered FuelVision Core & Trips, including custom development for depot management.
The Trips module is the backbone of this solution: through Dataverse, all trips are entered and processed directly. ODR also leverages FuelVision Sales Surcharges extensively, supported by tailored functionality for depot operations.
The go-live landed on time and on budget. We have now entered the aftercare phase, where only minor issues have surfaced to date.
