CASE
Odense Havn
"Since 1803, the port has been a guarantor that Odense could develop and become one important industrial city, and we are still the engine of the city's development, but at the same time, we have developed into the harbor of opportunities. Therefore, our profile is also an invitation to companies worldwide that we are ready to welcome them and invest in one common future.”

The Port of Odense is a vibrant and dynamic workplace that has many different tasks that require an overview, optimization, and quality assurance. The many companies that the Port of Odense collaborates with have a clear advantage in that the collaboration is strengthened by the fact that the Port of Odense uses a Software as a Service tool that increases opportunities and development.
To solve some of these tasks, the Port of Odense uses this resource Management system that IntelliFinder has developed.
Odense Havn
Andreas Andersen, a machinist, works with the operation and maintenance of water and heat, and in that connection IntelliFinder solves a big need being a location-based tool.
Andreas finds it easy and intuitive to use the system, create sites and fill out a form when he is on-site somewhere at the Odense Harbors big area.
When Andreas works in IntelliFinders app on his mobile, he thereby avoids walking around with a lot of papers, and at the same time, he uses his time optimally.
However, there are some limitations in the system, which Andreas states could make the system even more optimal to use.
Eg. when images are to be included in the form*, which are used to structure a workflow. It would be nice if these image fields could be turned on or off, as needed so that the empty fields are not included in the finished report and take up space. This also saves paper in the printout.
* The form module allows you to include necessary photo documentation, information, materials, etc.
Likewise, it could be optimal if the entire list of sites** could be exported to one CSV file. This makes working with the system easier and faster.
** Each project is set up individually. Define the task flow according to the project's requirements and assign the tasks to the teams.
IntelliFinder welcomes suggestions that can make the system even better transparent and intuitive to use.

What challenges does IntelliFinder help solve?
-
The IntelliFinder system's GPS tracking works very well and avoids the Port of Odense a lot of wasted time looking for where to read various meters.
-
The Port of Odense has full control of all certifications using IntelliFinder and is therefore always updated in this area at the right time.
-
Engineering at the Port of Odense also uses IntelliFinder's system. All data from guidance and safety data sheets are in one system, instead of 5 different places.
-
When the buoys in Odense Fjord need a new battery, the system ensures that the Port of Odense has the right equipment with them to the buoy and that it is the right type of battery that comes in the buoy, so that there is always light in the buoy and security on the fjord is on space.
All in all, Ole Sørensen feels that It’s an easy-to-use system.
Are there other places at the Port of Odense where Intellifinder can be helpful?
If IntelliFinder's GPS tracking could work together with the Port of Odense system, fleet complete/one port, they would e.g. find the exact location faster on the harbor’s lifts.
IntelliFinder is very welcoming to suggestions for expanding the system, so it can be Port of Odense’s benefit and pleasure, so that their working day will be easy to deal with - and that the customers of the Port of Odense also note that there is control over the documentation and work processes.
