Case Study: Andrie Inc. achieves near-real-time vessel reporting and major crew-cost savings with Kentico

Andre Inc. - Customer Case Study

Andrie Inc., a Great Lakes marine transportation company serving petroleum, chemical and cement customers, partnered with BizStream to replace a time‑consuming, paper‑based trip reporting process. Their goals included a distributed, role‑aware application that crew could use easily without relying on persistent internet connectivity, digitizing 40+ forms, and integrating results with SharePoint Online and Excel for faster HQ reporting.

BizStream built the Andrie Paper Mate (APM): a Kentico‑based web app deployed on a local server and network aboard each vessel that lets crew enter data by role, then synchronizes to a private cloud and Office 365/SharePoint when connectivity is available. The solution cut manual entry, simplified HQ workflows, proved easy to train and deploy, and produced measurable savings—one vessel realized $36,500/year in labor reductions—while enabling fleet‑wide rollout and better, near‑real‑time operational insight.
