Port of Long Beach

Estrada provided a team of consultants to implement a Port Management Dashboard (PMD). The implementation of the PMD is intended to support the needs of Managing Directors and Division Directors at the Port of Long Beach. ECI provided full lifecycle technical services to develop, implement and test the application and was involved in all stages from initial analysis of existing systems to implementation, production and maintenance and operations.

Results and Value

ECI established a management dashboarding solution, providing executives management insight into key performance indicators for Port operations.  The solution included financial dashboards, Terminal Throughput, Green Initiatives Dashboard, and Cargo statistics dashboard.

Value

• Reduced administrative workload in generating reporting, replacing many manual, siloed reporting processes.
• Provided a central source of accurate and consistent information across the organization, so that decisions made by the Directors used the same, consistent information.
• Delivered mobile access (IPad) to business intelligence solution
• Minimized additional software expenditures since entire solution was implemented in tools already owned by the Port (SQL Server and SharePoint).

The Port of Long Beach (POLB) is now operating with a real-time dashboard in their extremely dynamic environment.
