Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has completed an ERP implementation at the Cochin Port Trust (CPT) in a record time of 10 months, according to a company release. With this, the operational, financials, real estate and human resources assets of CPT have been integrated on a single platform or Integrated Port Information System. Christened ‘e-thuramugham’ or ePort, the project once fully functional, will provide real-time interface with customs, port users, banks and the port community system of the Indian Ports Association. The system will provide single window facility to the trade for filing applications, receiving service bills, payments and enquiries, TCS said.

Cochin Port Trust chairman N Ramachandran said that CPT would now be enabled and empowered to closely monitor performance, improve operational efficiency and provide higher standards of service to the shipping and export-import community.

The GIS-based estate management system will enable CPT to monitor as well maximize returns on their reality holdings.
