Initial situation
at the start of the project

DS-Mineralöl GmbH faced several challenges at the start of the project. On the one hand, biomass balancing was to be optimised and digitalised, and on the other, the process for complying with legal requirements was to be handled more efficiently and reliably.  
The company's previous software solution was an in-house development. 
However, because legal requirements were becoming increasingly complex and efficiency demands were rising, those responsible wanted to replace the old software and implement an already established, proven industry software. The VTA solution CEEMAS offered exactly what they had in mind. The search for alternative systems was therefore unnecessary.

  • Manual, paper-based processes

  • Increased susceptibility to errors

  • Legal requirements had to be researched independently

  • Uncertainty regarding the implementation of complex requirements

Result
and current situation

Thanks to the introduction of CEEMAS, DS-Mineralöl has been able to demonstrably optimise its processes. Employees have noticed a significant simplification in verification management, balancing and calculating the biofuel quota. In addition, compliance with sub-quotas and the cap has been optimised. This was made possible by consistently digitalising and automating the processes. This has also eliminated sources of error. The entire area of responsibility now benefits from CEEMAS and enjoys enormous time savings. The complex legal requirements can now be implemented flawlessly and reliably. Employees can always be sure that they fulfil the requirements. Because if the legal situation changes, VTA implements the necessary adjustments in the system promptly.

  • Automation and acceleration of processes

  • Simple allocation of evidence

  • Simplified accounting

  • Optimisation of the entire range of tasks

  • Elimination of sources of error  

  • Compliance with complex legal requirements

"We are very satisfied with our cooperation with VTA. What we like best is that there is always a personal contact person for us who has a lot of expertise and all requirements are met professionally. I can therefore only recommend companies that find themselves in a similar situation to get in touch with VTA and discuss their own situation. The various modules allow the solutions to be customised to the respective user. VTA's software is therefore suitable for both SMEs and large corporations."
