MGI and TGI strengthens their collaboration to interface Ci5 PCS and OSCAR TOS in Dunkirk, Longoni and Fort-de-France.
MGI, Port Community Systems (PCS) expert and TGI Maritime Software, leader in the French-speaking Terminal Operating System (TOS) market, are working together to ensure AP + migration to Ci5 for the following maritime terminals: Terminal Des Flandres (Dunkirk), SMART (Mayotte) and DATA Terminal (Martinique). Ci5 is an intelligent PCS dedicated to the management of the flow of goods which delivers fluidity, traceability, security and competitiveness for all terminalsin order to create an ever-more efficient supply-chain.
A strengthened MGI / TGIpartnership
Ensuring traceability for imports or exports of goods is the objective jointly pursued by TOS (Terminal Operating System) and PCS (Port Community System). This is how Ci5 and OSCAR exchange thousands of messages every day. MGI and TGI Maritime Software worked together in project mode. As a provider and integrator of "OSCAR" TOS, TGI’s goal was to provide the necessary developments in the TOS so that interfaces works optimally with Ci5. A dedicated team, developers, testers and trainers joined together from both sides to ensure goods traceability. Terminal Des Flandres (Dunkirk), Data Terminal (Fort de France) and SMART (Mayotte) particularities were taken into account to offer a solution tailored to customers' specific requirements. The first deployments of this solution in Ci5 and OSCAR was on December 1 st , 2019 in Mayotte and early October in Dunkirk. The next one is scheduled for March 31 in Fort de France
Greater fluidity, traceability and competitiveness
Ci5's interface is intuitive, ergonomic and focused on user needs. Its design is based on the latest cutting-edge technologies: Block Chain, Artificial Intelligence, Mobility, etc... Ci5 guarantees operational productivity gains by offering, in particular, a personalized display, intuitive entries and simplified data searches. Thanks to real-time information, supply chain players can anticipate and plan all land and maritime operations before ship's arrival or departure (or any other transport mode). For example, with the Ci5 mobile application, the passage of carriers at the gate is recorded, container and seal numbers quickly filled in by truck drivers. Thus, information data transmission is significantly reduced and movement of goods accelerated. All this contributes to rich, reliable, secure and real time information, shared with the entire supply chain.
