Our client, an Israeli startup, acquired a solution for ship tracking and port management. We developed a system that integrated with the equipment and used machine learning algorithms.
Our client is a dynamic platform founded in 2017 that already serves over 500,000 boat owners and over 100 marinas. The company operates in the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Cyprus. Client uses machine learning to optimise marina space allocation, making it easy for boat owners to book at the location they need and for marina owners to make the most efficient use of their resources.
For planning and navigation purposes, the company required access to private vessel information that is not usually publicly available. The marina staff did not always have sufficient knowledge and skills to use the platform. Reservations at the marina required a more efficient communication system between boat owners, marina staff and the platform.
Computools has developed a complete solution for Hubmarine, which includes:
We have integrated the HubMarine platform with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) to capture private vessel data. Our solution has reduced the time spent on communication and pre-booking of boat moorings by up to 75% and increased transparency of vessels’ sailing history, improving navigation.
The long-term impact on the client’s business after implementing the solution led to significant improvements in operational efficiency and overall transparency in marina management. Reduced time spent on communication and pre-booking of berths by 75%. The new portal has significantly optimised the communication process between boat owners, marina operators and port authorities. This has resulted in a reduction in the time required to pre-book berths. The new system provides unique mapping information, displaying the type of boats and their location on the marina map.
HubMarine discovered Computools while searching for a solution to address operational inefficiencies in their marina management. They had previously tried generic marina management systems but weren’t satisfied.
Impressed by Computools’ portfolio, including complex web platform development and expertise in machine learning, HubMarine considered Computools alongside two other shortlisted companies. Ultimately, several factors led HubMarine to choose Computools:
The design team was tasked with designing a dashboard interface that would be concise, easy to understand for port staff, and without distracting elements. At the same time, however, the design had to include all the essential operational elements. The focus was on achieving that. The work was carried out dynamically, with ongoing communication with the client, taking into account all individual features of the project.
Crafting profiles embodying client needs and preferences for targeted design
Organising visual representation guiding users through intuitive navigation pathways
Creating skeleton blueprints outlining page structures, interactions, and content placement for development
Developing an ergonomic and visually appealing design fostering seamless interactions for enhanced user experiences
PHP
PHP - provides access to a large community of developers and an abundance of off-the-shelf solutions. It has high stability and is great for creating highly loaded web applications.
Vue.js
Vue.js provides high performance UI. It is flexible and allows you to create both simple and complex web applications, it integrates easily with other libraries and frameworks.
AWS
AWS offers a wide range of cloud services that easily scale to meet growing project needs. It is reliable and fault-tolerant, which ensures smooth operation of the application.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is great for mission-critical applications, has a rich feature set and is easily scalable, making it an ideal choice for projects with complex data requirements.
We chose the Scrum project management methodology to implement the HubMarine solution. It is performed through clear self-organisation and interaction between team members. An essential condition for successful implementation is timely reporting on the work done and completing tasks within the agreed time frame.
We studied Computools’ portfolio and were impressed by their projects in various industries, including the development of complex web platforms. We needed a partner with deep knowledge of machine learning to develop an algorithm for optimal vessel placement. Computools demonstrated their expertise in this area by providing us with a detailed implementation plan. We communicated with the team in several meetings and were impressed by their professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm for our project.
Computools offered us a competitive price for their services. We considered several Software Engineering companies and selected the top 3 candidates, Computools was one of them. They provided us with several options for the user interface design, which we carefully evaluated.
The client is a small business in England that provides services to shipbuilders and shipowners. After we modernised the system, the client got a platform that incorporates distinct user interfaces and dedicated toolkits designed to address the specific needs of each user group, as well as an implemented blockchain-based data security solution. The platform's architecture leverages a robust combination of Node.js, React, and blockchain technology to deliver optimal performance, security, and flexibility.
Our client, a service provider in the dental healthcare space, has benefited from the upgrade of a dependable, modular, and adaptable platform to assist orthodontists. The platform swiftly processes images by integrating AI and digital transformation into dental care practices, generating analytical reports within seconds. It facilitates the markup of reference points on X-ray images, assisting in planning medical intervention procedures.
We implemented IoT and modernised MATEXLOOK for our client, a biotech startup. They developed a communication channel to interact with a high-precision micro-imaging camera, requiring the development of a special driver for cross-device communication. Our solution provides a structured, indexable repository of media files, making exporting, printing, and managing images easy. The high-resolution highlighting feature helps with decision-making. We also helped the client integrate the system with their patient medical record management system, providing a single platform for data management.
