We at iMarine Software, the developers of SeaProc, understand very well that your primary thoughts might be “What’s in it for me?” or “Will this work for me?” – You may have heard about a very famous quote from Henry Ford about his early cars, “They can have it in any color they like as long as it’s black.” Well, you can probably get away with that kind of thinking if you have monopoly on the market, but for most of us, we don’t. Rather we must adjust to a market where we can service you as a customer the best as we can. That’s how SeaProc came about! It’s a ‘real maritime software’ that is born in the maritime industry by our CEO and Founder who travelled extensively around for two years talking to B2B customers, paying careful attention to their feedback and comments, both negative and positive, regarding their different and/or perceived elements of what they considered a great experience. Therefore, we insist your users should pay close attention as well to the benefits this eProcurement solution can offer because it will give you, as a user of SeaProc, immense potential in both operational efficiency and economic performance through better and more efficient processes.
