Requirements

A new engine for calculating port performance

Rimorchiatori Mediterranei has been operating in maritime services for a century, today with a fleet of 163 vessels and in 33 ports across Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Integration

Improve integrations in the information system to have more control and detect anomalies quickly

Uniformity

Uniform data exchanges between insiders (e.g., commanders and control towers)

Automation

Facilitate and reduce manual interventions on the complex systems for revising rates, updating prices, and modifying or integrating new elements

Governance

Manage and internalize know-how related to a critical process (active billing)

Solution

A data hub to manage field services (field service)

Capabilities

Web user interface for managing port tariffs
Automatic calculation of the value of each port service
Ability to invoice ‘spot’ services (those not following the rules defined by concessions)
Laboratory simulations (dedicated testing environment)
Error reporting for calculation issues
Change logs
Integration for sending calculations to ERP for invoicing purposes

Results obtained

Full oversight of the service calculation process
Configurability and flexibility of the adopted tool
Ease of use and reduced complexity
Automation of invoicing processes via batch (massive mode)

Challenges

Reduce errors and manual intervention in a critical process

Ease of Management (Committment)
The previous calculation tool had some management complexity; it was necessary to create a “configurable” calculation engine consisting of normalized tables for data imputation and to define rules for calculating sales prices in relation to billing elements
Harmonization (Communication)
Unique coding of services (including surcharges and deductions) for all companies in the group, so as to allow extractions and analysis processing; homogenization and standardization of operational elements that generate the billing process for all companies, ports and concessions manned
Automation (Collaboration)
Management of billing processes via batch, in a massive mode; reduction of complexity, exceptions, and consequently of manual interventions for eventual correction of the value of the port service performed
