Thanks to the proof of concept, IPC now understands how digitized operations could help it become a world-class port. It also positions the company to develop new services and take them to market more quickly, resulting in new revenue streams.
The new efficiencies and consolidated view of port processes facilitate smoother collaboration with customers and ecosystem stakeholders and allow employees to be more responsive to customer needs. With the dashboard, IPC executives can orchestrate operations to improve the customer experience and service reliability for all port stakeholders. IPC employees also have information at their fingertips to change course when needed and improve planning.
Using the mobile app, customers can easily submit online requests, which IPC views in real time to plan operations and services accordingly. For instance, IPC and the customer can coordinate the dispatch of trucks to the terminal to take containers out of port. For customers, the simplified, user-friendly approach helps track their cargo and interact smoothly with IPC.
Once scaled, the cloud-based solution could help the company lower IT costs by paying only for what they use. It also offers the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. With insights into real-time performance, it can also help improve worker efficiency and productivity. For instance, the company could monitor assets like cranes and tugs for predictive maintenance and prevent them from breaking down and interrupting services.
