Background
Our customer is a state port authority in South America.
Client Challenges
The client had been confronted with rising operational costs in spite of a near-flat revenue growth. It was found that mounting manpower costs and semi-manual processes were crippling operations, creating dissatisfied customers. Moreover, technology enablement was in disconnected islands, and in-house expertise was inadequate to support even the existing disparate systems.
Experion Role
Experion maritime experts enagaged with the customer team to re-engineer their business processes. Our team configured xPort®, deploying web and mobile components. Cloud deployment helped the customer move beyond the ageing in-house IT infrastructure.
