Baseline
Agree the current volume, time, cost, failure, risk or revenue metric before implementation.
P49 · GIS, Assets & Digital Twins
Ports, Shipping & Intermodal Digital Twin
Berth, vessel, yard, rail, truck and asset information is fragmented, constraining common situational awareness and throughput decisions.

The executive question
Which port decisions still require teams to reconcile multiple screens and spreadsheets before acting?
The Mappls response
Connect real-world, enterprise and operational data to the intelligence and workflow that create the outcome
Port digital twin, nautical/bathymetry layers, AIS/vessel tracks, berth and yard views, rail/truck ETA, asset GIS, alerts and analytics.
Mappls connects proprietary map and location intelligence with port digital twin, nautical/bathymetry layers, ais/vessel tracks, berth and yard views, rail/truck eta, asset gis, alerts and analytics. We start with one measurable workflow, prove the operating impact, and scale through reusable data, APIs and SaaS rather than a one-off implementation.
Value and ROI hypothesis
Make the economics testable
Higher berth/yard/rail throughput; lower waiting/dwell; better safety and capex/maintenance decisions.
Leading indicator
Measure data fit, workflow completion, coverage, adoption and decision speed during the proof.
Economic result
Translate the operating improvement into revenue, cost, risk, service or asset-utilisation impact.
Scale decision
Use agreed success criteria to choose production scope, ownership and commercial model.
Departments and operating ownership
The teams that shape adoption and outcomes
Strategy & transformation
Owns the business or mission outcome and defines where Ports, Shipping & Intermodal Digital Twin creates measurable value.
Product & digital experience
Translates the desired outcome into product, service, workflow and adoption requirements.
Operations & service delivery
Connects users, operational data and day-to-day decisions so the capability becomes part of real work.
Supply chain, fleet & logistics
Provides the data, integration, security and governance foundation required for trusted production use.
Assets, engineering & maintenance
Measures performance, risk, compliance and continuous improvement after deployment.
Programme readiness
The decisions and inputs that shape the right implementation
- Which vessel/berth/yard/rail/truck feeds exist?
- What throughput and dwell baselines matter?
Signals that this capability matters now
Proof of value
De-risk the programme with a bounded, outcome-led proof
One terminal/use-case pilot integrating selected live feeds, 2D/3D view and exception workflow.
Scope
One terminal/use-case pilot integrating selected live feeds, 2D/3D view and exception workflow.
Success criteria
Feed integration and spatial accuracy accepted; target decision/throughput KPI improves; governance agreed.

Expansion path
Adjacent value once the location foundation is in place
Airport GIS, Assets & Operations
Airside/landside assets, projects, drawings, incidents and maintenance are managed across systems without a shared spatial operational layer.
ExploreTransportation Management, Dispatch & Route Optimisation
Manual planning and disconnected transporter, order and route data inflate kilometres, empty runs, detention and planning effort.
ExploreAsset, Container & Equipment Tracking
Non-powered and mobile assets are under-utilised, misplaced or maintained reactively because location and state are not visible.
ExploreMaritime & Defence Common Operating Picture
Operational tracks, charts, intelligence, weather/ocean and mission workflows remain split across secure systems.
