Organizations in need of an advanced Load Planning platform that helps reduce planning time
About SONATA
At the heart of SONATA are optimization algorithms by which large vessel (20,000 TEU’s ) multi-port planning time is reduced substantially. Planning time plunges from 16 hours to 40 minutes, and a single-port plan can be created in less than 15 minutes, delivering best-in-class productivity and information sharing. This ultimately results in faster turnaround of vessels and in turn, cost reduction. SONATA creates efficient, safe, and reliable stowage plans ensuring stress and lashing force stability conditions are within the limits – be it a single-port or multi-port voyage. SONATA helps optimize the planning process with multiple cargo views that provide visibility, flexible planning and un-planning of cargo. SONATA helps eliminate container over-stows, excessive vessel stresses, and lashing errors.

OPTIFLEET
Automatically generate port rotation, create liner services, deploy the right sized vessels in services, select the right port cargo with maximum contribution, maximize vessel utilization and profitability, and generate vessel schedules. Maximizing voyage profitability is the objective function of the Optimizer, where the port pair, equipment type, and weight is selected from list of port pairs, with the aim of maximizing profitability. The lower and upper bound TEU’s / weight ensures that contract commitments of the customers are complied. Optimizer ensures that vessel is utilized to the maximum in TEU’s rather than weight, by ensuring that empty container surplus and deficits are balanced, by moving the empties from surplus to deficit location with minimum repositioning cost.
