OPIS Standard Display (view sample here) includes only one terminal location per supplier based on the location where product is priced the most competitively and where the majority of customers in a particular city lift barrels. This allows the OPIS contract summary data, especially the contract average, which is widely used as a benchmark, to have a consistent methodology and avoid being manipulated by a supplier in a given city. OPIS verifies this data each day to ensure consistency and accuracy in calculating contract averages for benchmark purposes.
OPIS Terminal Display (view sample here) includes multiple-supplier listings for individual cities, even if a supplier consistently posts the same price at multiple terminals in a given metropolitan area. OPIS Terminal Display includes all terminal locations for any rack city to provide full supplier coverage. |
