Logwin Introduces New Worldwide IT Tool for Ship Parts Logistics

GREVENMACHER, Luxembourg, March 20 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Direct to the wharf, in the harbor or on the high seas -- on behalf of the maritime industry and shipping companies Logwin quickly supplies ships around the world with component or replacement parts, as well as commodities. Logwin has developed a special online tool for the exceptional demands of Ship Parts Logistics.

Supported by the 'Logwin Boat' IT platform, customers can stay informed about the real-time status of all goods movements and the current transaction processes at all times. Additionally, Logwin Boat -- comparable to a warehouse administrative system -- steers the efficient stocking of the Logwin warehouse with ship parts and supply goods. This dynamic database system is now being introduced to all Logwin sites around the globe.

This new development in the Logwin Boat IT platform allows all logistics processes around Ship Parts Logistics to be planned in advance while at the same time providing transparency. The databank system is accessible through any Internet connection -- meaning even onboard ships -- without the installation of additional software. It is accessed with a simple login with personalized password. Logwin Boat administers double ship names (name given by the owners, charter name with the shipping company) and documents the inventory of replacement parts and supplies per ship. Volker Hoebelt, Director Global Sales + Marketing Air + Ocean with Logwin, says, "We successfully completed development of Logwin Boat about a year and a half ago and then began field testing it. During the test phase we intensively tried out the basis version with selected customers and continuously expanded it to the customers' specific requirements. This has resulted in a powerful online tool that we can now offer to our customers around the world."

The top priorities with this IT system are user-friendliness and security.
Logwin Boat is easy to use from the first time onward. Every step is self- explanatory. Each order is set up in just one data set. Various authorization levels ensure who can see and/or edit which data.
