Innovation & Scalability

The recent completion of Maritime One software, which was developed on the SAP Business One platform, has been a true breakthrough for shipping companies. It is a robust and versatile IT solution that connects all different departments of shipping companies and therefore allows for the smooth supervision of all departments, better control and management, sound decision-making, and accurate reporting. MaritimeOne was developed by experienced IT developers in close collaboration with shipping executives, yet its IT backbone/infrastructure relies on SAP and it is therefore constantly further developed and refined by the most robust ERP technology provider. Applying a secure business and growth model by distributing SAP Maritime indirect and full co-operation with SAP Multinational, through SAP’s already established network in 170+ countries and 800+ SAP official partners, where SAP already conducts business thus shortening the global sales cycle, and exponentially increase global sales, growth, and revenue, achieving company’s performance objectives and create real value for shareholders. SAP’s global network provides for high penetration rate, a rapid growth tool since all SAP Partners already working on SAP technologies, will show the tremendous interest of Maritime One since this new platform will offer new market channels, segments, incremental sales, and revenue.

Team & Why Us

Capitalizing on the absolute lack of an international, comprehensive, complete, and industry-specific software solution in the maritime sector, as well as on the leading capabilities of SAP products and SAP network, Project One has developed and commercialized a state-of-the-art innovative technology a business software platform to bridge the gap, providing an actual business transformation solution instead of a plain IT solution. Maritime’s industry-current software applications increasingly no longer support the maritime business needs, Big Data needs, and future growth plans. The industry gravitates more and more away from isolated revenue indicators towards analyzing Key Performance Indicators and ensuring high levels of transparency, accuracy, and security in, as well as the independence of their business processes. Maritime companies demand efficient business management tools, accurate and fast decision making around the clock, integrated systems, cost-saving, and controlling mechanisms. Vessels demand around the clock management and support, real-time decision making, simplified and streamlined reporting for increasingly complex compliance. SAP network with official partners around the world demands incremental revenue, credible business software for the maritime industry, synergistic offerings. SAP demands value-added solutions utilizing and enhancing its international leadership and network, software solutions for the maritime industry.
