ERG is the most important Italian exporter of petroleum products (mainly gasoil
and petrol) ERG Petroli’s main activities are logistics and marketing in the domestic
market. The ERG logistics system is one of the most extensive in Italy and it
is strategically positioned to allow the distribution of petroleum products throughout
the country. ERG Petroli distributes oil products throughout Italy via its 2,032
outlets which account for 7% of the national market. Besides this ERG Petroli
also sells in the wholesale market, petrol, gasoil, fuel oil, bitumen and GPL
through a network of wholesalers both in Italy and Switzerland. ERG Petroli, also
supplies other petroleum companies operating throughout the country with products.

Business Issues
ERG’s aim is to be first on the market with new innovations, winning an advantage
over the competition. ERG was growing rapidly and needed to standardise all business
processes across Italy. Outdated mainframe and disparate software platforms in
place were lacking scaleability. ERG’s attention was focussed on:
- creating one common system, company-wide for Italy enabling all locations to operate in harmony
- maximising shareholder value by increasing cash flow, employing capital efficiently and stabilising earnings
- becoming a multi-energy company, widening the portfolio of products traded and produced in Refining, Marketing and Logistics, Power and Gas.
