Our credentialsMinistry of Economy, Finances and Industry Information system on the price of oil in France
French Ministy of Economy, Finance and Industry
The price of oil
The Ministy of Economy, Finance and Industry is responsible for the preparation and enaction of political economy, finance, consumption, control and fraud repression of the French Government. Another of its missions is to promote and develop the social economy.
The challenge
In 2006, the Ministry wanted to develop a website that could provide a real time inventory of the price of oil in more than 10 000 points of sale. This website also needed to provide functionalities such as search, geolocalisation, itinerary calculation. The platform should also be capable of monitoring and controling the the prices for the DGCCRF and deliver statistic visually.
Since January the 1st 2017, the basics of the site are in development. Since that very day (10 years ago), Actimage has made the site evolve to fit the reglementations (Ministry's decrees), the news (monitoring of supplies), the uses (site for general public), and the governmental directive (Open Data).
The solution offered
We support the Ministry in its approach since the premises of the project. We provided the development, hosting, exploitation and the evolutive and corrective maintenance of the platform, its services and applications.
A complete information system
The provided information system includes several modules such as cartography tools, a data download system, a service that uploads the prices daily via phone, data push or website, price checking applications and a monitoring platform.
An optimised flow management
The solution La solution benefits from the flexibility of the Cloud architecture of our Datacenters and it garantees the high availability of the platform, even during peaks noticeable when the prices change wildly. A Load Balancer is used to increase the efficiency of the Datacenters.
