Ship Data Analytics and Visualization Platform
Designing and building an analytics platform tailored for the marine industry, featuring data import, visualization, and an admin panel to manage users and system parameters
The client - Marine Cloud - is a forward-thinking startup in the maritime sector, focused on enhancing the analytical capabilities of the shipping industry. They needed a simple cloud-based solution that would allow ship managers and operators to not only upload and process but also thoroughly analyze photometer sensor data from their fleet, streamlining maritime data management.
The challenge lay in transforming this concept into a functional MVP within a tight three-month timeframe. This required the creation of a robust platform capable of handling complex data imports, facilitating dynamic data visualization, and managing user interactions across various levels of access, all while ensuring scalability and security to support future enhancements and user base growth.
The SoftKraft team embarked on the Marine Cloud project with a strategic approach, beginning with comprehensive Event Storming sessions to fully understand the project's scope and client requirements. This phase was crucial in identifying key functionalities and potential challenges, setting a solid foundation for the subsequent development stages.
The development team adhered to our commitment to quality and followed our standard working processes. This approach ensured clear and consistent communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Communication with the client was streamlined and efficient, utilizing only two primary channels: on-demand online meetings for regular, real-time discussions along with Slack and email for ongoing updates.
An intense development process culminated in the successful launch of a functional MVP that met all initial project scope requirements. The platform enables efficient data handling and visualization capabilities, such as:
In 2024, the project underwent significant updates to further enhance its functionality, including:
