Closelink GmbH, the leader in marine lubricant procurement, is excited to announce an integration with NAVTOR, a premier provider of fleet monitoring solutions. This collaboration brings NAVTOR's stock reporting (ROB) data directly into Closelink’s procurement platform to help ship managers generate greater cost savings and enhance planning in lubricant procurement.
Driving cost savings through strategic order planning
By integrating NAVTOR’s data, Closelink has automated the collection and aggregation of ROB information, significantly reducing manual entry errors and saving time. This integration provides purchasers and technical superintendents with immediate access to essential information precisely when needed throughout the procurement process.
Direct visibility into NAVTOR’s high-quality ROB data enhances inventory monitoring and order planning. Closelink’s intuitive procurement platform aggregates vessel schedules, supplier contracts, and ROBs, enabling users to efficiently plan and evaluate their options, always in accordance with current and future stock levels.
The benefits of this streamlined approach include considerable cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive last-minute purchases, reducing the risks of product shortages, and avoiding orders at less favourable ports.
Creating a more connected maritime industry
Philippe Lavarde, CEO of Closelink GmbH, expressed enthusiasm for the new integration:
“Data sharing in shipping benefits all stakeholders, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing decision-making processes. By integrating NAVTOR’s data, we equip Eagle Bulk and other mutual customers with the information they need to make the right decisions, ultimately driving tangible cost savings.”
Jacob Clausen, Performance Director at NAVTOR, added:
“We are thrilled to partner with Closelink, a company that shares our commitment to innovation in the industry. This integration underscores the value of high-quality data and its ability to enhance operations for maritime professionals in all sectors.”
Instant benefits through the standing integration
The project was completed in just 10 days, a remarkably short time underscoring the agility of both teams. With this established integration, all current and future mutual clients of Closelink and NAVTOR can instantly enjoy streamlined processes and enhanced connectivity with no additional integration effort needed.
