Navis SPARCS N4 is the industry's most scalable, open, deployable, adaptable and maintainable terminal operating system (TOS) available today. SPARCS N4 TOS is a fully integrated solution from gate to yard to vessel, thereby eliminating the manual processes and costly errors required to keep disjointed systems in sync. Employing a Java "Rich-Thin Internet Client" technology, SPARCS N4 makes it easy to standardize on a single, homogeneous system for managing business processes across multiple operations. Plus, a Java-based solution provides inherent cross-platform portability, alleviating the impact of a heterogeneous hardware infrastructure that may arise through natural technology evolution and upgrades.

Most commercially available terminal operating systems require extensive customization to meet the unique needs of each individual marine terminal. These hidden costs drive up TCO and can easily account for 25% or more of the total cost of the TOS. The SPARCS N4 TOS employs extensive data-driven business logic to create a highly configurable solution, thereby avoiding many of the common customizations required by less flexible TOS alternatives. With SPARCS N4, it is now possible for terminal operators to reap the benefits of high-quality, low-risk packaged software, without sacrificing the flexibility of a custom solution, at a fraction of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of competitor products and in-house development projects.
