The digitalisation of shipping brokers

Our client, a leader in ship brokering for bulk and tankers, has felt the need to have a single and centralised system to share information and data

Approach

Our team at Oratek has adopted a three steps approach. 

Broking is a very complicated business, taking into account a non-imaginable amount of parameters. Our roles were to understand their activities as much as possible to extract some key features that could be integrated into the solution and make help them in their daily activity.

The team has come up with a blueprint showing the architecture of the system build-in blocks allowing to help each desk individually in their daily tasks.

We used the latest JavaScript framework and No-SQL database to deliver a fully web-based reactive and responsive solution.

Results

We faced the challenges, making every broker saving some time and having a clearer overview of each situation was a real improvement in the trading process.
