This revalidation announcement sees a continuation of JLT’s partnership with the Navis Ready programme that began in 2015 and was reinforced in 2019, when JLT became the first hardware provider to ensure its computers for the port segment would be validated for use with major upcoming Navis N4 TOS releases for the following five years.
JLT said this gives customers an extra level of security and confidence when purchasing its terminals for their Navis system.
According to Navis: “This [validation] ensures customers can buy and engage with vendors with confidence knowing that the majority of the integration work has been completed. The information provided in the Navis Ready Validation report helps customers assess the level of integration achieved and what is possible with a vendor.”
JLT said the validation reinforces the fact the JLT Verso Series, which is “specifically developed for use in the harshest conditions – is suited to highly demanding port operations globally”.
Navis is a Kaleris premier brand for port, terminal, carrier and vessel solutions. Kaleris is a cloud-based supply chain execution and visibility technology, which offers a global platform that unlocks operating data, connects workflows and increases visibility to improve the entire shipment life cycle. Navis brand technology can link the busiest nodes in the global supply chain to the Kaleris platform.
JLT added that as a “supplier of rugged IT solutions for the port environment” it has also committed significant resources to those requiring help and support in the ports sector, which includes publishing Port Guide: Five ways to Make IT Your Port’s Hero, Not its Headache, which can be downloaded in English or Spanish for free.
