Port Digitisation. A Rotterdam specialty.
As Europe’s Leading Port, we know this business like no one else. This knowledge is the foundation of our PortForward products. Our ambition is to make Rotterdam the world’s smartest port. Digitising ports is a Rotterdam specialty. No other port in the world compiles, analyses and enriches this much data.
Our experienced software engineers and data scientists work together with well-known IT companies. We receive support in these activities from IT partners such as IBM, Cisco and ESRI. The software and data solutions they develop are specifically tailored for the port sector. These solutions can also support your port – large or small – in its digital development, allowing you to make use of your full potential. It’s an investment that will pay for itself.
While the PortForward solutions are available as separate tools that can be incorporated in your port’s existing systems, they also form a single integrated whole. You can start off small and continuously scale up. We deliver all tools tailor-made for your port. The modular structure and scalability make these tools eminently suitable for small and medium-sized ports.
