Maritime Business Process Outsourcing

The maritime industry is no stranger to the concept of outsourcing - port agents and shipmanagers are a prime example- so a move to improve business process by outsourcing data entry into software systems was a natural move for Danaos Management Consultants.

When a shipping company looks at developing or purchasing a software solution, the effort required to input in data and maintain the system is often overlooked. It is critical that a company focuses its management time and talent on core business functions that differentiate the company and not on mundane tasks.

India is a natural home for business outsourcing due to its highly educated workforce and long maritime tradition. Danaos Services (based in Mumbai) offers long-term business process outsourcing solutions to owners and managers searching for a cost-effective method of updating and maintaining back-end software. Ship operators can outsource the time-consuming data inputting and back-end work.

Incorporated in 2002, Danaos Services India has seen unprecedented demand for its services, especially for Planned Maintenance monitoring and supporting the company when critical tasks are not completed and also offering specific data management for such systems.

The rapid growth of Danaos Services has been in no small part due to its experienced staff drawn from a growing pool of Indian seafarers looking for a shore-based job. It employs a number of Masters, Chief Engineers, 2nd Engineers and Software experts with a wealth of shipping experience- all with extensive knowledge of machinery and the onboard processes.          <Previous
