The Challenge

Operating within the Central American corridor, particularly in Honduras (Puerto Cortés) and Acajutla (El Salvador), presented a set of unique operational hurdles. Terminal operators faced fragmented procurement systems, manual documentation workflows, and high compliance risks that frequently led to vessel delays and increased OpEx.

Key bottlenecks included:

  • High volatility in local fuel procurement rates due to lack of real-time market transparency.
  • Manual Terminal Operating Systems (TOS) resulting in 15% discrepancy in inventory tracking.
  • Extended payment settlement cycles averaging 22 days, straining vendor relationships.

The HSO Solution

Strategic Integration of PTD & TOS

HSO Terminals deployed a unified digital infrastructure that bridged the gap between procurement and physical operations.

PTD Desk Implementation

Established a dedicated Procurement Trade Desk to leverage regional volume and negotiate standardized rates for maritime terminals.

Cloud-Native TOS

Automated gates, real-time tank gauging, and terminal dashboard integration for 24/7 visibility from any location.

"The shift from manual tracking to HSO's integrated platform was transformative. We regained control over our procurement margins in Puerto Cortés within the first quarter, achieving a level of transparency we didn't think possible in this region."
— Terminal Manager, Northern Honduras Region
