REPL was appointed as BP's strategic partner, rolling-out a new head-office, back office and stock management system to operate in thousands of its retail stores globally. BP RESET uses future-proofed technology in a far-reaching solution that updates and streamlines all of BP's point of sale and back office systems and will form a future platform for BP's digital strategy.

The solution also included developing digital applications for the client's hand-held terminals to improve employee efficiencies on-site. In place of existing set-ups, REPL and BP implemented flexible cloud-based technology that can change and adapt as BP's business demands evolves.

"With multiple operations, including 18,300 petrol stations across fifty countries, each with unique requirements, BP's legacy systems landscape was complex,” said Mike Callender, executive chairman, REPL.

Over the next five years, REPL will be leading the strategy to expand the programme scope to additional markets, resulting in an extension to a further 10 countries.
