TOKYO, JAPAN --- Advent, Inc., a software development company located in New Providence, NJ that specializes in mission-critical applications for the shipping industry, has successfully implemented the first module of a global operating system it is developing for Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” Line). This module will handle Container Control for all of “K” Line’s worldwide transportation operations.
In addition to the Container Control application, Advent is currently developing component-based, multiple-tier applications for “K” Line’s Booking and Documentation departments. Advent was awarded the contract for the development of “K” Line’s global operating system in April 2000.
The November release of the Container Control system was one of the most successful systems implementations for “K” Line, handling a massive amount of EDI and manual data transactions with success.
