Context and Challenge

Chantier’s IT System is based on a central SAP ERP. Although the system provides powerand reliability, Employees needed new digital applications to perform their daily tasks.

Another important asset in the company is Alfresco ECM holding all the ship technical documentation.

The challenge was to build new UI optimized applications able to execute offline within the constructed ships, processing data from SAP and Alfresco.
