Procureship and Shipnet sign deal to bring e-procurement services to maritime’s biggest operation ecosystem
Procureship, the leading e-procurement platform for the global maritime industry, has signed an agreement with Shipnet, the Norwegian vessel management software provider, to bring its award-winning e-procurement service to its online maritime operation app.
The deal, which was signed during Sea Asia in Singapore on 25 March, will enable all Shipnet users to access Procureship’s e-procurement platform to boost their fleet management capabilities when it comes to procuring relevant parts and services for their vessels.
With the integration of Procureship into its ecosystem, more than 230 shipping players will now be able to use Shipnet ONE, which helps vessel owners, operators and managers to manage their commercial operations and understand their fleet’s technical needs, safety, logistics and finances in one place, to significantly enhance their procurement processes.
With access to a global marketplace of marine suppliers and service providers, Shipnet users will be able to use Procureship’s enhanced functionalities—such as the 100% quotation automation, the supplier and service provider recommendation engine, and the unique AI-powered invoice checking solution—to drive down costs, reduce vessel downtime, and optimise their spending.
As part of the deal, Procureship will also be providing its real-time market analytics and reporting feature to Shipnet users, enabling them to make more informed and data-driven decisions to improve the efficiency of their vessels and their daily operations.
