Orion Marine Concepts: Helping the Marine Industry Streamline Business Functions through Digitization

In the present digital age, where businesses are being bombarded with information and data from multiple channels, Document Management Systems (DMS) not only play a crucial role in the capture, storage and retrieval of both paper and electronic documents, but are also indispensable in their ability to enhance security, and offer better backup and disaster recovery. Furthermore, a good document management system today brings a myriad of benefits to organizations’ employees not only on land but also at sea, by providing them with a means to do their jobs more efficiently.

However, the marine industry with its many intricacies, demands different and more advanced technologies than those used in land-based companies to meet its DMS needs. Enterprises across the marine industry also face challenges when it comes to carrying out data migration, integrating with other applications and aligning their staff with the new culture. Perfectly understanding these challenges as well as the unique needs of the marine industry, Gurgaon headquartered Orion Marine Concepts steps forward to address them with an inclusive EDMS suite to help the marine industry streamline business functions through digitization and improve their efficiency.

Since its inception in 2006, Orion Marine Concepts has been creating bespoke software for the maritime industry. As an organization driven by Mariners and for Mariners, the company was created with the purpose of providing a single-window solution for maritime expertise while ensuring that only the best business ethics and engineering are practiced. Having begun its journey as a Marine Consultancy Firm providing services to a premier shipping company, Orion today has grown into a professionally managed project management and shipping software solutions provider with a multinational client base.

“As a team formed by the amalgamation of master mariners and skilled IT professionals, we have the ability to not only understand the cutting edge dynamics of the shipping industry but also leverage this expertise to provide our clients with bespoke software that is flexible, intuitive and user-friendly,” explains Capt. Mohit Sabharwal, Director.
