Customer service

Customisation and integration

All our suites and applications can easily be tailored to suit your specific requirements. They have been designed to allow maximum configuration and customisation through a series of inbuilt settings in the database, XML style sheets, user settings and security definitions. This means that there is usually very little programming required during the implementation process. For customers with further requirements, our team of software architects and developers are highly‑skilled at modifying our applications to meet your exact requirements.

Also included in our software as standard is a highly flexible report writer allowing you to define the contents and layout of the reports you want to generate.

Our software includes a series of standard interfaces using EDIFACT, ANSI and XML, web services enabling them to integrate with your business partners (i.e. terminals, depots, port authorities, customs authorities etc.) and internally used packages like accounting, ERP, CRM and stowage planning systems. We have over 20 years experience of integrating our software with customers’ systems including many and diverse in‑house, bespoke packages.
