Closelink and Marine ERP have launched a new real-time integration aimed at improving marine lubricant procurement by connecting vessel schedule data via Closelink’s standard Port Call API.
The system provides procurement teams with live visibility of upcoming port calls within Closelink’s platform, with Marine ERP one of the first software providers to complete a full connection using the standardised API.
Port call data stored in Marine ERP is automatically transferred into Closelink and combined with consumption and port pricing data to provide recommendations on the most efficient supply options, offering automated alerts and suggested delivery ports based on actual vessel movements.
“Marine ERP’s flexibility is a key strength,” said Philippe Lavarde, Managing Director at Closelink.
“Their speed, agility, and proactive mindset allowed for a quick and effective integration, enabling us to jointly deliver value to our mutual customers faster.”
Closelink notes that its standardised API also supports additional data exchanges, including ROB levels, tank configurations, enquiry creation, offer handling, and approval workflows, contributing to a more connected procurement process.
