Présentation rapide

ASALinks is an independent French maritime agency, active since more than 20 years on the northern coast of France. She supports professionals in maritime and road transport in the management of port, customs and regulatory operations.

Specializing in ship consignment, customs formalities and health and veterinary assistance, ASALinks is establishing itself as a key player in the context post-Brexit, with 24/7 operation on several strategic sites.

Contexte

The company had to face a major increase in complexity following the Brexit, and chose to anticipate this transition with a custom-made business tool, combining field, management and customer relations.

Le besoin / la problématique

ASALinks needed a business tool capable of supporting the transformation of its operations following Brexit. The need included both:

A field tablet application to facilitate the work of agents in port areas

A complete management platform: customer orders, organization of interventions, document processing and invoicing

A robust, intuitive, multi-profile system that complies with customs and health standards

A flexible invoicing, taking into account the multiple complex use cases specific to the port business

Les enjeux et contraintes spécifiques

1
Strict regulatory compliance (customs, health, veterinary)
2
Multiplicity of profiles and uses (field, back-office, client)
3
24/7 operation, with management of emergency and activity peaks
4
multi-client and multi-site organization
5
Scalable billing, sensitive to time, contextual and business parameters
