KOCHI: Cochin Port Trust has embarked on a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning implementation programme, 'e-thuramukham', based on SAP platform and customised for CPT by Tata Consultancy Services.
N Ramachandran, Chairman, CPT launched 'e-thuramukham' at a function attended by the trade union representatives and employees here today, a port release said here.
By implementation of e-thuramukham, which will be completed in ten months, Cochin will become the first major port in India to work on a fully integrated computerised system.
"The port is integrating its operational, financial, estate and human resource systems through this project," it said, adding "e-thuramukham will have real time interface with customs, port users, banks and the port community system of the Indian ports Association".
The system will provide single window facility to the trade for filing applications, receiving service bills, payments and enquiries.
The port is using satellite imaging system for monitoring the geographical aspects of the port and the e-thuramukham will meet the expectations of global standards of service to the shipping and export/import community, it said.
ERP is an ambitious programme to implement a fully integrated Port Information System (iPINS) using a SAP-based ERP which will help the port improve its business processes and work practices.
