What OpenTAS GmbH does

OpenTAS GmbH is a Hamburg-based, privately held German software company that has operated since the mid-1980s as a specialist provider of terminal management software for liquid bulk storage operators in the energy and chemicals supply chain. Its core platform, OpenTAS Terminal Management, centralizes inventory, movements, stock, master data, tax/customs declarations and equipment integration (via OPC, Modbus and PLCs) for tank terminals, and is supplemented by three modular sub-products — OpenTAS GO IDT, MRT and SPT — for inland distribution, marine and special products terminals, plus a suite of AddON modules (AddANP, AddCPO, AddMDI, AddQCM, AddTCI, AddSCM, AddBDP) and the QINO web-based TMS. In March 2026 the company launched OpenTAS 365, a unified operating layer built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure and the Power Platform that re-architects the product around an API-first, event-driven data model.

The business generates revenue from a mix of on-premises perpetual licenses, subscription/SaaS (including a 'Pay as you GO' model for OpenTAS GO and a managed-services option with zero customer IT footprint), and professional services delivered through consulting, iBPA (Intelligent Business Process Automation with PROceed/PROgress/PROfit) and a security advisory line (PROsecure/PROshield/PROdefend). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, a multi-tier channel of regional Solution Partners (Aquarius in South America, HAZCO and EBS in GCC, Elsis in Northern Europe), co-development with strategic technology partners (Microsoft as Gold Partner, AWS, Bosch, HyBird, Deloitte's TrackonTrade, Smartflow, Trusted Carrier, Beijer Electronics, Pepas Cloud), and participation in industry associations (TSA, FETSA, UTV, ILTA).

OpenTAS serves more than 50 enterprise customers across 19 countries, with named deployments at Gunvor, Evos, TanQuid, TotalEnergies and Kuehne+Nagel, and reports operational scale of 130 million tons of product, 4.7 million transactions and 1,000+ product types managed annually. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification (December 2024) and EMCS 2.7 certification for automated EU customs declarations, positions itself for KRITIS-class critical infrastructure customers, and employs approximately 120 staff spanning 16 nationalities.
