Scotts Systematic Approach
Fuel Oil News, November 2003
Established in 1954 by Thomas Scott, Scotts Fuels is a modern, progressive family run business, operating as a branded distributor for Esso fuels and Esso Mobil lubricants in Northern Ireland.
Eddie and his son Richard, are directors with Richard 's sister Judith overseeing fuel sales, whilst brother Robert has responsibility for lubricants. The company supplies its customers from depots in Belfast and Omagh using a fleet of six articulated and ten rigid tankers, loading directly from the Esso terminal in Belfast with storage at the Omagh depot.
To further enhance the company's capabilities, Scotts Fuels recently installed eM1, a new specialist software system, which was developed by Swansea based Business Systems Services (BSS). Richard told FON: "While the software's functionality is extremely important, our biggest concern was that we chose a company responsive to our needs and offering a high level of support. BSS have proven to provide this at every stage of the system's implementation. eM1. provides the functionality and flexibility required in today's competitive market and BSS have agreed a future development plan with us to ensure the system will evolve to meet our changing needs in the future."
BSS managing director, Teifion Davies said: "Since its launch at the FPS show in Dublin earlier this year, eM1. has attracted a great deal of interest. We were very pleased when Scotts Fuels decided to take on eM1, working with their team has been a pleasure. Even though they are very demanding, they have a clear vision of their needs and express them very well. We are very pleased with the positive response we have received and look forward to a long and productive relationship."
