Shipping & Ports
Microsoft Dynamics AX Solution for the Shipping & Ports
Industry
The Shipping & Ports industry has traditionally managed its
business activities though a combination of bespoke applications
and the integration of a series of 'point solutions' to cover the
broad range of activities performed. Now, in one single
application, shipping businesses and ports can plan and transact
their entire business from original voyage, port-call and capacity
planning, through material handling to dispatch and invoicing (for
all services, including property, pilots, facilities, etc), along
with full financial and non-financial reporting. This
eliminates the cost and complexity of supporting multiple
integrated solutions.
Touchstone is the UK systems integrator for
the FlexPort and FlexShip modules
that have been developed within Microsoft Dynamics AX to deliver
the industry needs with all the usability benefits of the broader
AX development programme. The integration with Lloyds Register and
AIS further enhances the functionality and the
FlexProperty module meets not only the needs of
landlord ports but also property companies in general.
April 2009 - Latest News - The Environmental
Sustainability Dashboard for Microsoft Dynamics AX is
here!
The Shipping industry is increasingly realising that looking at
the business from the perspective of sustainability reveals
opportunities to run more efficiently. Getting a clear view of
relevant data can be quite challenging and that's why Microsoft has
launched software designed to help you look at your business from a
new perspective, identify opportunities for increased efficiency
that can deliver bottom-line cost savings, and track progress
against initiatives to decrease your impact on the environment.

environmental issues.
