Gateway Terminals India (GTIL) deals with container Cargo Terminal
services in the freight domain. The company’s business is
highly mission critical.
This involves high-end and varied applications across the domains
of operations, services and engineering. Since each department was
adding data into different systems, consolidation of reports was a
huge task and accuracy was also hard to determine. There are
multiple data sources involved, as well as text-based applications
making the ‘timely’ data analysis critical and
challenging.
GTIL decided to deploy MAIA’s 1KEY BI solution primarily to
bridge the time gap between the need for reports and the
availability of the same. Today with this solution, GTIL has
managed to not only provide standard reports, but also has enabled
critical data analysis which was not possible earlier.
The savings are myriad—from time required to make the
reports, the analysis to be made and faster decisions. The total
implementation time for this solution was four man months. The
company currently has 25 users across various departments using the
solution.
GTIL estimates it will be able to get ROI in 10 man months. The
major gainer from this application is the commercial department.
The productivity of the company’s business users has gone up
as they can now build their own reports quickly in the format they
want.
The productivity of the IT team has also gone up as the team no
longer needs to invest its time requesting business users to submit
their reports. Team members can now use their time for productive
and creative activities.
