Ireland company picks ExlService

NEW DELHI: ExlService Holdings, Inc., a provider of outsourcing and transformation services, announced the signing of a multi-year contract with Petrogas, the largest independent operator of the Applegreen chain of service stations in Ireland.

Under this agreement, EXL will provide finance and accounting services to Petrogas and manage the entire finance and accounting operations from its service delivery centre in a special economic zone in Noida, India. Petrogas will gain the flexibility and scalability to continue its expansion in Ireland and the UK with a more focused approach and greater force.

EXL’s President and CEO, Rohit Kapoor stated, “We are extremely pleased to be able to work with Petrogas as they take an aggressive stance to grow and expand their business in Ireland and the UK. EXL continues to strengthen its capability in finance and accounting and looks forward to working with Petrogas to achieve their objectives of strategic cost management and driving operational flexibility while improving service levels. We will leverage our transformation capabilities in the areas of analytics and process improvement to provide Petrogas a competitive advantage as they grow their business.”

Petrogas’ CEO and Director, Bob Etchingham stated, “This is an important strategic initiative for Petrogas as the group consolidates its financial standing and profitability in a very challenging economic and banking environment in Ireland. With EXL providing our Finance and Accounting services, we are better able to focus on streamlining the back office processes supporting the expanding network of the group and licensee sites. This is particularly important as we prepare to open Ireland’s first Motorway Service Areas with six sites coming on stream in September 2010.  Longer term, we anticipate taking advantage of re-engineering and decision analytics capabilities offered by EXL to enhance our business proposition”
