In an era where more information is moving through digital channels than ever, properly adapting and transitioning with technology is paramount to success. Tata NYK Shipping has long been a catalyst in the global trade of commodities, and their recent addition to the Veson IMOS Platform (VIP) displays their ability to be an industry leader and game changer.
Veson’s Integrated Maritime Operations System (IMOS) has been around since 2017, but recognising the need for increased connectivity and integration, Tata NYK Shipping migrated the Veson IMOS into the cloud and developed it further into the VIP. For their effort, the company won the Cloud - Shipping Award at the 2023 SBR Technology Excellence Awards.
The awards programme recognises the efforts and achievements of companies in Singapore to revolutionise their industries with cutting-edge products and services aided by technology, and Tata NYK Shipping Pte Ltd distinguished themselves by porting the maritime shipping sector’s global scale, complex workflows, and unrivalled volume of data into a cloud platform for easier management.
The company saw the potential that the cloud offers, as its security features and flexibility allow for advanced connectivity, integration, and data sharing that pave the way for future developments of digital business models.
With the VIP, Tata NYK Shipping was able to future-proof their digitalisation strategy as the platform is capable of keeping up with the rapid pace of innovation thanks to its agile cloud-based architecture. This also allows the VIP to eliminate the need for middleware, allowing access to the platform with just a browser, an internet connection, and a Single Sign-On (SSO) authorisation.
The platform also integrates easily with Tata NYK’s other enterprise systems and solutions, providing a seamless experience in managing business workflows. This results in improved performance and efficiency, as daily tasks such as managing business cases, port schedules, voyage reporting and communications between ship and shore along with real-time visibility of vessel performance are made easier from the convenience of the platform, as well as allowing them to make decisions quickly with easily accessible information and insights.
The company states that the VIP has enabled stronger connectivity, collaboration, and efficiency that has resulted in sustainable growth and a competitive edge for the business. Looking towards the future, the company plans on exploring more options for digitalisation, process automation, and system integration as it found success with its Veson IMOS Platform.
