Case Study: Port of Hanko achieves 24/7 up-to-date situational awareness with Frends Enterprise iPaaS

Port of Hanko uses Frends for 24/7 situational awareness, managed file transfers, and logistics APIs

Port of Hanko needed a way to keep its port situational awareness system updated 24/7 without relying on manual data entry. Using Frends Enterprise iPaaS alongside the Ganttic visualization tool, the port wanted a reliable way to track vessel arrivals, departures, and berth availability in real time, while avoiding delays that could hurt both operations and the environment.

Frends Enterprise iPaaS integrated multiple data sources into Ganttic, automated data gathering, and connected managed file transfers, APIs, and even machine-learning-based forecasting for ship arrivals. The result was a more accurate and always current situational awareness view, with 73% of users saying the updated information was “Exceptionally important” and 27% calling it “Important.” Port of Hanko also gained the flexibility to build integrations in-house and expand to new data sources without adding new user interfaces.
