TOS cloud expansion
One software company is expanding its terminal operating system (TOS) deployment options on the cloud.
At Navis Connect 2021, Navis announced it is expanding the capabilities within its suite of products and services to digitise cargo flows, ensuring the most efficient movement of goods.
“Having multiple TOS deployment strategies will allow our customers to choose the option that best suits their business needs,” said Scott Holland, chief product officer at Navis. “A full SaaS environment is a great choice for customers that are positioned to take full advantage of our cloud capabilities with their high availability, automated upgrades and lower cost of ownership. A hybrid approach might be more effective for those customers who desire to keep mission critical components on-prem. Maintaining this optionality enables us to increase the pace of innovation while continuing to protect the mission critical nature of our customers’ operations.”
Better decision making
Navis is helping existing and new customers optimise operations to improve productivity, increase capacity in the yard, handle more throughput and expedite the flow of containers and mixed cargo. With the Navis Cloud, analytics and AI applications can be integrated with the terminal operating system. This integration enables actionable insights and better decision making around container allocation in the yard, equipment utilisation, real time demand of the waterside and landside operations, and berth planning for continuous optimisation.
With growing industry interest in cloud services and with multiple deployment options available, Navis supports customers at any point in their cloud journey. The Navis Cloud will also play an important role in Navis making its solutions more modular, open and connected, with the goal of simplifying deployments and upgrades as well as making it easier for customers to integrate with other industry providers.
In the coming months, Navis will reveal plans for its next generation of software solutions, including advancements in its terminal operating system and stowage planning platform, among others.
