The Port of Odense is a bustling hub of activity, known for its diverse operations that demand a high level of organization, optimization, and quality assurance. Collaborating with numerous companies, the port’s success is amplified by its strategic use of advanced tools that strengthen partnerships and foster growth. Central to this success is their adoption of IntelliFinder’s resource management system, a powerful Software as a Service (SaaS) solution tailored to meet their dynamic needs.

Streamlined Operations and Enhanced Safety

As the Port of Odense continues to expand, so too do the operational challenges. Ole Sørensen, a technical coordinator at the port since 2014, has witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of IntelliFinder. Tasked with ensuring compliance with legal certifications and managing annual reviews—such as the maintenance of harnesses—Ole relies on IntelliFinder to maintain a comprehensive overview of all tasks. This ensures that no detail slips through the cracks, safeguarding operational integrity.

IntelliFinder’s GPS tracking feature has been instrumental in reducing inefficiencies. By providing precise location data, the system saves countless hours that were previously spent locating various meters and assets. Additionally, the platform’s robust certification management ensures that all legal requirements are met promptly and accurately, keeping the port’s operations fully compliant. The engineering team also benefits greatly from IntelliFinder by consolidating data from guidance documents and safety data sheets into a single, user-friendly system. This centralized approach improves accessibility and enhances data accuracy and reliability.

Simplified Workflows and User-Friendly Design

Safety is a top priority at the Port of Odense, and IntelliFinder plays a critical role in maintaining operational safety, particularly when servicing buoys in Odense Fjord. The system ensures that the correct equipment and batteries are on hand, guaranteeing that the buoys remain operational and the fjord remains secure.

Andreas Andersen, a machinist responsible for water and heat operations, highlights another aspect of IntelliFinder’s value: its mobile app. With the app, Andreas can easily create sites, complete forms, and manage tasks while on-site, all without the need for cumbersome paperwork. This not only optimizes his workflow but also enhances the overall efficiency of operations across the port’s expansive area.

Both Ole and Andreas praise IntelliFinder for its intuitive design and ease of use. The platform’s seamless functionality empowers the Port of Odense team to manage their responsibilities effectively, ensuring that operations run smoothly and efficiently. Whether it’s tracking assets, managing certifications, or maintaining safety, IntelliFinder has become an indispensable tool in their daily operations.
