MARITIME & LOGISTICS ENGINEERING
Integration engineering for fleets, ports, and cargo
Vessels, ports, and business systems working from the same data, while the core platforms already in place keep running.

Case studies
Real work already in production — a closer look at the kind of problems it solves, before you describe your own.
-
01
Fleet-monitoring platform with a companion port system
Challenge
The provider needed a platform its own customers could use to follow vessel location, status, and statistics across fleets and ports.
Solution
Live vessel positions and statuses, statistics by vessel, status, and port, in-card chat, and separate status lists per user. The front end was rebuilt from Angular to Vue and the backend extended; a companion port system covers berths, cranes, and cargo movement. Launched quickly and within the development budget; the provider used the platform to bring major companies on board.

02
Live sensor data on board and in the owner's office
Challenge
A large number of onboard sensors and cameras had to reach users in real time, both on the vessel and at the owner's office ashore.
Solution
Engine, electrical, wind, speed, and supply sensors stream to two servers, one on board and one in the owner's office. An interactive 3D model with deck switching shows every sensor and camera live, on a database built for high load. Owner and crew work from the same live data, on board and ashore, under constant high-volume updates.

03
Geo-alert module inside an existing fleet system
Challenge
The shipowner needed geographic alerting inside the system its dispatchers already used: zones around ports, hazardous areas, storm paths, and route checkpoints.
Solution
A map module where dispatchers draw their own zones. Fleet positions are tracked in real time, alerts fire automatically on zone entry and exit, and checkpoint zones track schedule adherence. Dispatchers gained fleet-wide zone alerts inside the system they already use.
-
04
Passenger check-in and boarding for German ferries
Challenge
German regulation requires every ferry, including city crossings, to check in and track its passengers.
Solution
Kiosk, vessel, and office applications: passengers register and pay at the terminal, receive a barcoded boarding pass, and are scanned at boarding and disembarkation, with records synchronized between ship and office. Every boarding scan reaches the official German database automatically.
-
05
Ferry booking platform moved to a modern stack
Challenge
A ferry booking platform for travel agencies and individual travellers needed more speed and convenience, with every existing function kept.
Solution
Migration to Vue 3, Pinia, Vuetify 3, and Vite, with the codebase refactored to use the new stack fully, plus thorough testing and documentation. Every function preserved, with performance benchmarks exceeded.
-
06
Customer portal, field apps, and CRM around an existing ERP
Challenge
One of Latvia's largest LPG suppliers ran its customer portal, delivery, service, and CRM as separate tools that needed modernizing.
Solution
A customer portal with live tank telemetry, payments, and service requests; refactored delivery and service apps with route management; a new CRM integrated with the existing ERP and database. Active portal users doubled within a year.
-
07
Port screening data shared with national customs
Challenge
A port cargo- and vehicle-screening platform needed to exchange data with national customs and keep every inspection station informed in advance.
Solution
An integration module for secure scheduled and on-demand data exchange with customs, plus advance details on arriving trucks, drivers, containers, and cargo for each inspection station. Inspection stations receive arrival details before vehicles reach them.
-
08
Sensor-triggered orders for offshore and aquaculture waste collection
Challenge
Tank collection at offshore sites and fish farms ran on scattered order records, with limited client access to their own orders.
Solution
An order platform organized by area, site, tank, and client. Fill-level sensors create a pickup request automatically once a tank reaches its threshold. Clients place and follow their own orders, and pickups are requested from live tank data.
-
09
Online LCL booking and a rebuilt warehouse system
Challenge
A global forwarder needed a booking tool convenient for long-term corporate customers that would also attract small and medium-sized shippers.
Solution
Online quoting and booking of LCL ocean shipments worldwide in a few steps, and a warehouse management system rebuilt from scratch for customers and supply-chain operators. One booking channel serves existing corporate customers and brings in new small and medium-sized shippers.
-
10
Backend and cloud engineering for a logistics network
Challenge
A logistics network platform needed to strengthen its in-house team, improve performance, and add custom modules.
Solution
Backend systems and microservices, AWS infrastructure, and third-party API integrations, built alongside the client's internal teams. Order management, document issuing, invoicing, and fleet modules run on a backend built together with the client's team.

Confidentiality built into every engagement.
An NDA is signed before discovery, and code and data access is limited to the assigned engineers.
FAQs
-
Does this mean replacing our PMS or ERP?
Existing systems stay in place. The work is the layer around them: integrations, dashboards, and modules that read from what already runs.
-
How does vessel data reach the office over limited connectivity?
Data is held on board and synchronized as soon as a connection is available. Onboard and office servers can each keep the full record.
-
Can we start with one vessel or one module?
Yes. A first module is scoped after the discovery call and built on the same data layer, so each next piece adds to it.
-
Where does our operational data live?
On the servers you choose, including your own, on board and ashore. Encryption standards, access roles, and hosting location are fixed in the technical proposal for each project.
-
How is cost determined?
Scoped together after a discovery call and a technical read of what exists. Every estimate comes with a technical proposal.
-
Who maintains the system after launch?
The engineers who built it can stay on for support, updates, and new modules under a separate agreement. Full documentation is handed over either way, so your own team can take it on.
