About The Customer
CargoSmart Limited is a global provider of shipment management software solutions. They serve shippers, consignees, logistics service providers, non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs), and ocean carriers. Connected to over 30 ocean carriers, CargoSmart leverages big data sources and a cloud-based platform to offer award-winning sailing schedules, visibility, documentation, contract management, compliance, and benchmarking solutions. Their goal is to improve planning and on-time deliveries for their clients.
The Challenge
The shipping industry is facing increased competition, shifting alliances, and growing customer demands for better insights and faster decision-making. Carriers are struggling to keep up with backend technology advancements and are unable to leverage big data analytics effectively. This results in higher operational costs, such as terminal handling fees and bunker costs, which hinder customer satisfaction. CargoSmart aimed to provide ocean carriers with advanced analytics for better visibility and real-time decision-making to address these challenges.
The Solution
CargoSmart needed a scalable platform capable of processing high volumes of data in real-time and providing data visualization for quick decision-making. They partnered with TIBCO to build an event-driven architecture that processes data from various sources. They integrated TIBCO Spotfire for predictive analytics, which offers powerful analytic tools accessible from any device and location. This setup allows CargoSmart to deliver customized analyses and dashboards to meet customer requirements quickly. The platform also supports continuous improvement of machine-learning models based on new data sources.
Operational Impact
  • TIBCO's agile technology enables CargoSmart to co-design custom analyses and dashboards with customers, reducing time to market and meeting business objectives.
  • TIBCO's Professional Services helped CargoSmart gain expertise quickly, allowing for daily release cycles instead of bi-weekly, increasing responsiveness to customer needs.
  • The high throughput and low cost to scale enabled CargoSmart to monitor four times more vessels over the past year and a half.
  • Real-time event processing and detection engine improved vessel schedule updates from 32% to 90% completion within an hour for one carrier.
  • A vessel speed and route monitoring application reduced fuel consumption by up to 3.5% over the past two years.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Increased the number of vessels monitored by four times over the past year and a half.
  • Improved vessel schedule updates from 32% to 90% completion within an hour.
  • Reduced fuel consumption by up to 3.5% over the past two years.
