Enhancing performance with modern
application development
One of India’s leading shipping companies maintains a smart, efficient network that ensures stable and reliable services. It is a global niche carrier offering distinct advantages to customers worldwide.

The Challenge
The customer’s container allocation confirmation process limited the company’s ability to accurately forecast the arrival of each ship at its destined harbour. The lengthy confirmation process, coupled with their inability to make business decisions based on real-time data, led to slower customer response times, lower revenues, and competitive disadvantage.
The approach
To resolve this challenge, we looked for a cloud-friendly solution that did not require a long-term and costly investment.
The Solution
The customer initiated solution development in the public cloud during the first three months, and then seamlessly migrated to an on-premises environment. We selected VMware Tanzu Application Service (TAS) for the customer as their main platform. Enabling customers to focus on developer productivity without ticketing or spending much time digesting new technology, TAS automated the preparation of developer code for running on any cloud in an automated environment.
The Future
Given the project’s success, the client is considering extending the deployment of TAS in developing other modern solutions. Also, the company is looking into big data technologies, artificial intelligence, decision-making, and blockchain applications to expand its existing applications and let technology drive the supply chain.
