Business Benefits

After eShiftLog was first installed, in the following 24 months, the port productivity increased by 15% while the throughput increased by 25%.

This data can be verified at the Australian government published web site for the Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics, see their home page at: http://www.btre.gov.au

These represent significant savings, that go straight to the bottom line.

While eShiftLog was not the only contributor to these improvements, eShiftLog helped management carefully plan the allocation of resources without increasing the quay crane count.
