About project

It’s an innovative food order and monitoring platform designed specifically for the unique needs of vessels and their crew. With a focus on nutrition, budget control, and efficiency, it streamlines the process of catering on board and ensures that ships always receive everything they need without exceeding their budget. The platform includes an advanced algorithm that manages the entire ordering process and offers standard catalogues that consider the diverse tastes and preferences of crew members.

Project challenges

One challenge in developing the platform was creating an algorithm that could effectively manage the entire process of catering on board vessels. This required extensive research and testing to ensure that the algorithm was able to handle the unique needs and preferences of each vessel and its crew, while also taking into account factors such as budget constraints and nutrition requirements. Another challenge was implementing a system for connecting ship suppliers directly with vessels and replacing administrative efforts in the procurement process. This required the development of a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that could facilitate efficient communication and coordination between all parties involved.

Results

We implemented advanced algorithms and data analysis tools that could accurately assess and evaluate the performance of each supplier. This included factors such as delivery times, quality of products, and waste management practices, to ensure that only the highest-performing suppliers were included on the platform.

  • Global Network of Suppliers

    Building a global network of carefully selected and vetted suppliers to ensure that ships have access to a wide range of products and services. This network includes local suppliers in each region to help reduce transportation costs and improve sustainability.

  • Automated Ordering System

    Developing an automated ordering system that allows ships to easily place orders and track their progress in real-time. This system also includes alerts and notifications to help ships stay on top of their orders and avoid any potential delays or issues.

  • Customized Catalogues

    Offering customized catalogues that take into account the unique needs and preferences of each vessel and its crew. This includes options for special diets and cultural preferences, as well as a wide range of products and services to meet the diverse needs of different ships.
