Case Study: DFDS achieves fleet-wide optimization and growth support with Sertica from Logimatic

DFDS - Customer Case Study

DFDS, a major European shipping and logistics company, faced the challenge of supporting an ambitious growth strategy. With 38 ships and multiple port terminals, they were operating four different maintenance systems (PMS) that were inefficient and distributed across their fleet. They needed a single, unified platform with powerful data exchange capabilities to optimize operations and facilitate both organic growth and acquisitions. They chose the Sertica maintenance and fleet management system from vendor Logimatic to address this challenge.

The solution implemented by Sertica provided a stable and user-friendly platform with a powerful replication engine designed for unstable maritime internet connections, enabling automatic data transfer between ship and shore. This eliminated downtime and hassles for crews. For DFDS, Sertica became the central data repository and a crucial tool for optimization, cost reduction, and benchmarking across their entire fleet, including time-chartered vessels. The vendor Logimatic acted as a valuable partner, providing customizations and strong technical competencies. As a result, DFDS concluded that Sertica was a very important piece of the puzzle, and they were now geared for growth with the tools to implement their strategy in practice.
