GMS – Revolutionizing the Ship Recycling Industry through Digital Transformation

Problem

GMS, the global leader in buying and selling end-of-life vessels for recycling, relied on a fully manual bidding process that was:

  • Time-consuming & error-prone: Hand-filled forms and spreadsheet-based bid tracking created delays and frequent data inconsistencies.
     
  • Lacking market intelligence: Outdated methods for predicting tide tables and steel prices prevented real-time, data-driven decisions.
     
Built on legacy IT: On-premise servers and monolithic applications limited scalability, compromised security, and hindered global accessibility.

Solution

Mutefrog Technologies delivered a turnkey digital transformation—combining custom website development, UI/UX design services, AI-powered predictive analytics, DevOps practices, cloud migration, and cybersecurity solutions—to modernize GMS’s core operations:

  • Digitized Vessel Bidding System
    • Developed a responsive web application with intuitive UI/UX design services, enabling global clients to place and manage bids online.
    • Integrated role-based access controls and real-time dashboards for transparent bid tracking and audit trails.
     
  • AI-Powered Predictive Analytics
    • Implemented machine learning models to forecast tide tables and steel market prices with high precision.
    • Embedded interactive charts and alerts, empowering GMS to optimize buy-sell decisions and maximize ROI.
     
  • DevOps & Continuous Integration/Delivery (CI/CD)
    • Established automated pipelines for code testing, containerization, and deployment—accelerating feature rollouts by 70%.
    • Adopted infrastructure-as-code and monitoring to ensure zero-downtime updates and faster incident response.
     
Cloud Migration & Scalable Infrastructure
• Migrated applications and databases to a leading cloud platform, leveraging auto-scaling groups and managed services for high availability.
• Enforced best-practice cybersecurity solutions—firewalls, encryption at rest/in transit, and periodic vulnerability scans—to protect sensitive bid data.
 

By weaving together custom website development, AI-driven predictive analytics, DevOps practices, and robust cybersecurity solutions, Mutefrog Technologies propelled GMS into a new era of digital innovation—driving efficiency, accuracy, and security across the global ship recycling industry.
