Marine Terminal Management Reporting & Analysis System
Navis™ SPARCS Analytics helps executives at marine terminals to achieve continuous improvement, get quality and timely reports, and make strategic decisions faster. Designed specifically for marine terminals using the Navis™ SPARCS terminal operating system (TOS), it provides the most tailored, cost-effective reporting and analysis management system available for Navis customers.
Product Highlights
Navis SPARCS Analytics provides a single, centralized repository of consistent, detailed and easily accessible performance information that allows the entire marine terminal management team to share and act on a common understanding of terminal performance.
| 1. More Timely, Higher Quality Reports |
|---|
SPARCS Analytics gets the right information to the right users at the right time. Instead of relying on "word-of-mouth" subscription, where one gets a report by finding and asking the person who prepared it, customers using SPARCS Analytics can distribute reports via email, or access them via a web deployable application. SPARCS Analytics consistently delivers better information to marine terminal managers in less time, so they can spot inefficiencies, resolve problems, and identify areas of improvement sooner. |
| 2.Richer Intelligence, Better Results |
SPARCS Analytics provides the feedback required to evaluate the impact of operational improvements and capital investments by comparing relevant performance metrics from the before and after scenarios. For example, does a container handling equipment (CHE) route optimization software increase CHE productivity? Does a terminal community system improve truck turn time and lower number of trouble transactions? Does a new RTG open up a bottleneck in the yard and result in the desired productivity gain? |
| 3. Reduce Deployment Effort with a Maritime-Specific Application |
Designed for marine terminals, SPARCS Analytics significantly lowers deployment effort with out-of-the-box metrics and sample reports. SPARCS Analytics provides many metrics for vessel, crane, rail, CHE, yard, and gate, including berth utilization, vessel and crane gross and net productivity, move count, inventory dwell, yard utilization, truck turn time, number of trouble transactions, re-handles, CHE distance traveled laden and unladed, and more. |
| 4. Navis-Native, the Most Cost-Effective Solution |
| SPARCS Analytics delivers the most cost-effective marine terminal reporting and analysis management system available for Navis customers by providing a comprehensive, native interface to Navis terminal operating system data. No custom code is required, dramatically reducing deployment costs. Also, upgrade costs and risks are significantly reduced. SPARCS Analytics will continue to function after a SPARCS upgrade, while a custom system may not. |
