SVM LRP © Liner Resource Planning
Container shipping lines are increasingly under pressure to provide better visibility of shipment detail and better service reliability as demanded by customers globally. The gloomy global economy outlook due to slow down in the US in the aftermath of US sub prime crisis could translate into reduce demand in shipping capacity while vessel with larger capacity come into service putting further pressure on carrier. The rising fuel costs further dampen the already murky outlook.
To stay afloat and meet these and other challenges, Carriers need to constantly innovate and realign their services for better service reliability, looking into ways to further reduce operating cost, streamline processes and rely on timely operation information so that they can analyze and make faster informed decisions and take proactive approach to plan and optimize asset utilization.
SVM LRP © is a fully web-enabled and integrated Liner Resource Planning system designed to empower container shipping lines gain unprecedented visibility to their global operation whilst optimizing asset utilization and minimizing cost. The system is developed with J2EE technology on three tier architecture for robust and scalability for meeting your growing business and dynamic changing business landscape.

SVM TM © Tender Management
Tendering process in the Liner shipping has been known to be a tedious and laborious process. The process is known to be time consuming and the benefit associated with awarding is minimal. The process of multiple rounds, extracting the data in the exact format of the tendering company, understanding the terms and quoting rates based on the condition provided in the tender has been some of the practical issue faced by the commercial team of the liner companies. These are some of the reasons where many a commercial managers refrain from bidding for tenders altogether, even though the bidding could have been commercially beneficial for the bottom line of the carrier.
SVM TM © shaved off the laborious and time consuming element out of the tendering process. The module is fully integrated with liner resource planning system thus allowing commercial managers complete transparency of contribution margins, imbalance position, auto-surcharge and Tariff to be viewed at the same instant.

SVM CMR © Container Maintenance and Repair
Containers are key revenue generating assets for container shipping lines. Shortage of containers due to unserviceable conditions and lack of proper maintenance may increase the risk of accident and damage to cargo resulting in cargo claims. Unavailability of sufficient containers to meet contractual obligation may also result in shipping lines loosing valuable customer.
Shipping lines need to manage few hundred thousands of containers located around the world some may be damaged and required urgent repairs. Traditionally this has been done through manual process of scanning the repair estimate and sending it to regional or head office for approval and this process may go through a few cycles before the job is authorised.
SVM CMR is an asset management system with web interface that provide online access by all authorised vendors to input repair estimate with photo giving line greater control over repair cost and tracking the status of every repair jobs

SVM VAP © Vessel Auto Plan
Ship planners are facing various challenges such as:
1. Ever increasing dimensions of vessels to keep pace with the growing demands of world economic needs. Larger vessels mean larger volumes of containers being handled at a time. This increases the complexity in vessel planning and the time spent.
2. Heavy monetary expenses (Restow, cargo shut-down) sometimes due to inefficient stowage plans.
3. Large number of vessel and cargo related constraints to be considered simultaneously.
4. Longer duration of training sessions for end users to perform efficiently
Considering the yawning technology gap in present day manual planning systems and requirements of trade, Solverminds has developed Vessel Auto Plan (SVM VAP).
To create a system which can generate stowage plans automatically, improve the time efficiency and assist the end users (vessel planning managers & others) to optimize vessel plans efficiently.
The Auto-Plan system should consider all the statutory regulations / constraints and other requirements as set out by various authorities, viz IMO, Flag state, IMDG etc.

Liner Agencies:
SVM LRP © Agency Resource Planning
Shipping agencies is an integral part of the larger shipping lines operational networks. Shipping agencies are the frontline organizations that interact closely with shippers & consignees to promote services that are provided by the shipping lines. Agencies need to be well verse with lines operating rules, market conditions and local regulatory compliances whilst providing efficient customer services. A slack in providing efficient shipment order processing according to line’s house rules or keeping track of container statuses or reporting terminal and landside operational data in timely manner will result in additional cost to the lines.
SVM ARP © is a fully web enabled and integrated resource planning system designed for shipping agency allowing cross-organization collaboration between agency and its principal in a single platform. The application provides key modules to allow agency offices to manage core competencies from front office to back office. The seamless flow of operational data between agency and line means greater visibility and accessibility to key information for pricing, routing, scheduling, business rules, capacity & allocation, container activity reporting, container inventory, revenue collection and cost reporting empowering line managers to make better informed decisions, effective management of agency network performances and asset utilizations.
Reporting actual operational cost to line has always been a tedious and time consuming process and more often the information reported are weeks if not months after the completion of operational activities at terminal or depots. Solverminds has developed industry’s first activity based cost reporting module that enable the line office to receive cost information from agency offices real-time as soon as vessel departed the port eliminating the need to wait for vendor’s hard copy invoices. This translates into faster financial reporting capability, lesser time and improves productivity.
