Background
Prior to implementing the Shipbuilding Management App, the client was facing the challenge of managing complex processes and communication channels in shipbuilding and ship services. With multiple stakeholders involved including shipbuilders, ship owners and customers, the client was struggling to optimise operations and ensure effective communication. This challenge interfered with productivity, led to inefficiencies and limited the client’s ability to capitalise on market opportunities.
Approach to solution
In search of a solution, the client set about carefully analysing and exploring various options to solve operational problems. They considered using off-the-shelf software. However, this option did not meet their specific requirements and industry nuances. Ultimately, the client chose Computools for several key reasons. Computools’ specialisation in blockchain technology and data protection solutions coincided with the client’s focus on data security and transparency.
Computools role
