IT services and global cloud-enabled software company Inatech will launch its ShipTech Shipping solution at Cruise Shipping Miami, which runs from 11-14 March 2013.
The ShipTech Shipping solution offers shipping companies a cloud-based fuel procurement tool, which allows users to streamline the buying process, handle key processes efficiently and manage risk effectively.
The scalable solution can be integrated with other standard shipping and bunkering technology management systems, and provides analytical and reporting tools to offer decision support via real-time data and analysis tools. This helps to reduce fuel costs and enhance profitability.
“The cruise shipping sector has had a profitable few years compared with the wider arena. However this is expected to flatten over the next two to three years as changes in regulations relating to sulphur emissions caused by fuel usage drive profits down as companies are forced to adopt fuel with less sulphur during their purchasing,” said Jean-Herve Jenn, CEO of Inatech. “Therefore, more efficient procurement management methods will become absolutely vital for these companies if they want to stay profitable.”
