The tradO app is fully operational, a digital platform that Saras makes available to its commercial partners to improve the efficiency of the sales and loading process of petroleum products from the Sarlux refinery.

TradO allows transport companies and drivers to manage, even more effectively, the collection of petroleum products by tanker.

After creating orders, it is possible, even from a smartphone, to book the loading shift, receive notifications and exchange information in real time on any changes, with the great advantage of optimising and making activities more efficient by managing working times in the best possible way.

The application is device-independent, it works both from smartphones and tablets and from personal computers.

The design and creation of tradO is a result of the broader industrial innovation programme that involves all the Group’s business areas transversally with the aim of ensuring personal safety, protecting the environment and optimising production processes.

The research and development work of the Saras Group is constantly evolving in line with Digital Europe and the Green Deal, consolidating the experiences of Industry 4.0 applied in Sarlux to reduce consumption, inefficiencies and increase the sustainability of processes.
