Elevating seabo's Platform for Future Growth

seabo, the shipping platform for faster and better chartering decisions, is dedicated to innovation in the shipping industry. To ensure their platform will meet the demands of an evolving market in the future, seabo engaged re:cinq, a consultancy known for its expertise in Cloud Native and AI-driven solutions and strategies, to conduct a comprehensive review of their platform and provide strategic recommendations for improvement.

Opportunities Identified

The re:cinq team completed a Strategic Assessment and identified several key areas where seabo’s platform could be enhanced to better serve its customers and scale for future growth:

  • Enhancing Platform Stability: While the platform has served its purpose well, opportunities exist to optimise performance and stability further, ensuring a seamless user experience.
  • Continuously Advancing the Platform Architecture: With technology advancing rapidly, there is an excellent opportunity to modernise the platform's architecture, making it more agile and easier to maintain.
  • Optimise the Codebase for Greater Efficiency: Streamlining and refining the codebase will help accelerate development cycles and make maintenance efforts easier.
  • Enhancing Security and Ensuring Continued Compliance: As data privacy and security become increasingly important, addressing these even more proactively will increase customer trust.

re:cinq’s Approach

re:cinq applied a Cloud Native and AI Platform Assessment to help seabo capitalise on these opportunities:

  • Architecture Review: An in-depth analysis identified areas where the architecture could be simplified and optimised, laying the groundwork for a more agile platform.
  • Platform Assessment: A thorough deep-dive of the platform highlighted key areas for improvement, allowing the creation of a tailored strategy for targeted actions that would yield the most significant benefits.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Through interviews and collaborative discussions, re:cinq gathered valuable insights that shaped the tailored recommendations, ensuring alignment with seabo’s goals.
