a London-based leading maritime research company speeds freight costing calculations 20x with Daffodil Software

The customer, a London-based leading maritime research company, faced a challenge with its Freight Intelligence Portal (FIP), which was processing vast amounts of ocean freight data too slowly for timely market insights. To modernize the portal and vastly reduce analytics timelines, the company engaged Daffodil Software for application modernization services.

Daffodil Software re-engineered the FIP using Laravel and built Python ETL pipelines managed with Airflow and Kubernetes. This solution accelerated freight costing calculations by 20 times, reduced data redundancy by 30%, and enabled clients to make decisions twice as fast. The modernized portal provided expedited benchmarking, clear data distinction, and internal rate optimization, delivering significant impact for the maritime research firm and its subscribers.
