On Tuesday, August 10th, the entire SAAM Towage Ecuador team met virtually for the official Helm kick-off, which unveiled the activity plan for the next few months. The plan involves gathering information, configuring the platform, testing, training and full implementation.

To Romir DeSantis, Deputy Operations Manager at SAAM Towage Ecuador, Helm implementation “represents great progress in our effort to optimize control of our operation. It provides better quality information in real time, which will make our operating-commercial processes more effective.” He also remarked that the team has received it very well and is very excited about the benefits to come.

Moving forward, we expect to begin gathering master data, like information on ports, customers, tugs, ships and locations, to upload into the system.
