Repsol YPF

Repsol on the net

Repsol lauched its portal repsolypf.com in July 2000; a comprehensive and new bet for Internet directed towards both those who seek maximum information about the Company and its products and internauts in general who surf the web in search of ideas and offers of differential value.

repsol.com is the ideal site for analysts, investors and shareholders and the media to find all the necessary information about Repsol. For students and those who wish to send their curriculum in real time. As well as customers of the different business areas who can carry out orders, request duplicate invoices, modify their details and a long list of interactive functions which even go as far as to allow the possibilty of paying the due amounts by electronic transfer.

The success of repsolypf.com is due largely to its multi-contents strategy which have been designed to suit user and customer needs, which offer specialized information with regard to the world of motoring, motorsports, the home, leisure and travelling.

The attractive and extensive world of leisure and travel also has a place in repsolypf.com, by means of the interactive Campsa Guide in Spain, where the more than 20 years of experience and know-how of the paperback version are brought together with services and options which are only available in Internet. In Argentina this service has its equivalent in the form of the YPF Guide.

In the Spanish version of repsol.com attention is paid to drivers in Autoclub, the best national-scale club directed exclusively at drivers, where the protagonist is not the vehicle, but rather the member. Unbeatable discounts and the widest range of products and services are offered.

The high number of users and the excellent valuation of the contents, services and functions offered are clear indicators of the success and acceptance of the portal.

Repsol also participates in a leading initiative in electronic commerce for chemical and plastic products: Chem-Connect. Through this, buyers and sellers from all round the world do business. Repsol, therefore, has the chance to widen markets, gain access to information about the sector and optimize efficiency in commercial transactions.

Following the line of performance, the Company participates, along with another thirteen leading world companies from the energy and petrochemical industry such as Royal Dutch/Shell, BP or Total-Fina-Elf, in an independient e-Procurement portal for the purchasing or contracting of products and services: Trade-Ranger.

Likewise, its has developed Adquira with Telefónica, BBVA and Iberia; an Internet purchasing portal which makes the acquisition process of goods and services from the four companies easier. This is the first launch, in Spain, of these characteristics and contemplates the entrance of other partners, from Spain and Latin America, with the aim of creating a regional platform (Iberian Peninsula and Latin America) which will maximize scale economies, whilst ensuring better opportunities for buyers and sellers.

Finally, Repsol, through its affiliate Global Companies LLC, has launched the ShipIQ portal in which it has an online logistics platform for marine contracting which is currently the undeniable world leader in this service and which is being used by a growing number of operators in the maritime transporting of liquid hydrocarburates.

Internally, the intranet portal repsolnet, has become a reference point for all employees of the company and is increasingly being used more and more in the development of new processes and activities related to collaboration and knowledge management.
