• Port Vision launches new Smart Ops Fleet Management System

• System aimed at the specific business processes of liquid cargo marine transportation

Port Vision, the maritime solutions provider, has today announced the launch of its Smart Ops Fleet Management System.

The system, aimed at the specific business processes of liquid cargo marine transportation, works in conjunction with the company’s AIS-based vessel-tracking system, to provide the "best practices for improving productivity and efficiency while eliminating paper, reducing errors and minimizing labor," according to Port Vision.

“SmartOps enables fleet owners and operators to increase revenue, reduce costs and create tighter and more efficient customer relationships,” said Dean Rosenberg, PortVision Chief Executive Officer.

“It is the only system tailored to the specific business processes of liquid cargo marine transportation, and incorporates valuable best practices for improving productivity and efficiency while eliminating paper, reducing errors and minimizing labor.”

“Perhaps most importantly, SmartOps enables unit tow fleet operators to collaborate with their customers not only on traffic updates and other real-time logistics, but also on complex invoicing and regulatory reporting so they can speed approvals while minimizing discrepancies and distractions associated with billing and compliance requirements.”

The SmartOps Fleet Management System builds on the foundation of the company’s PortVision platform, which has been adopted by more than 2,000 users including most inland marine fleets and every major oil company.

It is designed to automate the full range of unit tow liquid cargo transportation business processes including contract setup, chartering, voyage management, wheelhouse activity logging, automated invoicing, and detailed reporting.
