Start Up business

Shipping company

My start Up business is a shipping company which name is “Sailfish”

What is a shipping company?
Shipping company is the section of the shipping industry that deals with the transportation
of all sorts of products & services, as well as people, to a destination by water. Because 90
percent of cargo is delivered by various types of ships traveling by sea, this sector is
considered a catalyst for the transportation industry. As a result, shipping becomes an
important aspect of a country's economic growth, allowing it to achieve great advances
through global commerce. The reason that I will start this business is because shipping
company is something rare in Albania. Countries that my company would operate are EU
and USA & Canada. These type of business helps a lot the country when I live, operate, the
companies that “help” to ship the goods or products and obviously me, to have a better life.

System thinking

I think that in the future everything will go digital. This is one reason that I wanted to start a
shipping business. Th

System thinking: ERP

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems give us with a full picture of real-time company
data by connecting all its departments and allowing us to access them in a matter of
seconds. Because almost all businesses have various versions of information systems
installed on their computers to "survive," as having the Information Systems is one of the
most important factors in market success, it is now necessary to use ERPs – at least the main
software applications that each business needs to avoid paying a lot of money – because
having the Information Systems is one of the most important factors in market success.

Cloud-based VoIP phone systems

Innovative solutions are propelling the shipping industry ahead as a whole, and it's worth
noting how cloud-based VoIP systems are supporting easy communication in the shipping
sector, not just for ships at sea, but for all supply-chain participants. Manufacturers, logistics
firms, shipping firms, warehouses, and suppliers are among them.

VoIP phone systems enable seamless communication between remote teams located all
over the world without the high costs associated with international phone calls, effectively
increasing productivity, boosting collaboration, and ensuring efficiency in communication
and collaboration between various supply chain actors. Shipping firms may benefit from
VoIP's extra digital solutions, such as mobile optimization, video conferencing, and analytics
tools.

Ways to communicate in my business (shipping Company)

It is likely that all shipping businesses share a same organizational structure for managing
their procedures and departments. It is also crucial to note that, while each department has
a separate scope of work, the development of the other departments is typically reliant on
the progress of the other departments. Most businesses use a LAN, which is a local network
that is generally found in a very limited range wireless state, to link all their departments to
it. Clients are all computers that are linked utilizing shared resources, while servers are
devices or hosts that supply the resources needed for a successful connection.

Supply chain for my shipping company

The supply department uses a ship supply chain module in which all the company's ship
products are imported with specific codes, each of which is separate even if the product is
available in different sizes or colours, etc., allowing us to have a complete review of supplies
and check for any shortages. Aside from that, it is possible to define a "security stock" so
that when there is doubt about availability, demand, or delivery periods, a message is
presented notifying us that the supplies must be bought promptly. The companies that my
business will collaborate are clothing companies, stationary (these are the most wanted
things from the students, and everyone that is in school), also what we want to ship are
even different accessories such as: beauty accessories, home accessories, phone cases,
chargers etc.
We will use the GPS for our ships:

What is GPS?
it was very important to find a way to constantly locate the ship and all its surroundings, not
only on behalf of the shipping company, but also to assist in the port of acceptance of the
ship. Therefore, around the 1990s, GPS, a global positioning system, was used to achieve the
above objectives. GPS works wirelessly with 24 satellites to track the location of cells within
a radius of about 15 meters.

So, GPS helps us to locate our ships and to see if there is any problem with them. GPS is very
helpful for shipping companies. Some other reasons that I would use GPS are:
- Supply Chain Transparency
Supply chain transparency is essential when it comes to improving logistics, as it improves
visibility of tracking data for all parties involved. And what's a better way to make this
tracking data accessible to stakeholders than through a GPS tracking solution? Also, as
consumers demand shorter delivery times, shippers, third-party logistics service providers
(3PL), and carriers who want to stay competitive can use tracking data to ensure consistent
and timely product delivery. We can guarantee good delivery.

- Redicting Delivery Delays

When a customer is waiting for delivery of an item, it is not as frustrating as a delivery delay,
especially if there is no advance notice of the delay. These small GPS trackers provide real-
time data on the location of your cargo and the distance to your destination, so you can
keep your customers up-to-date and notify you of any delays. In addition, GPS data helps
identify delays that cargo may encounter. Truck congestion. You can take precautions to
minimize or eliminate delays through route optimization.

Information System
Global Information management
Even it is start-up business, I would use global information management. This is new class of
enterprise solution that provides the essential business strategy and tools to manage the
requirements for local language delivery. I will invest in content management and web
management solutions to manage the approval and publishing processes. These systems
can manage and deliver localized content. I think that Global Information management
provides the capability needed to manage the process of taking approved content. If me and
my team will be successful on using efficiently Global Information management we can
dramatically reduce processing time while will reduce localization costs.

New technology
The first technology that I would implement, will be the IoT (information of things) enables
users to control objects everyday by phone or remote. So, manager of the ship and every
employee can control the doors, windows, lights, and many things by this remote or phone
from this tech. The most important thing that this technology can do is that it can control
the hydraulics without the need for any individual to be permanently present on site. This is
very important for ships.

In a near future, I would invest for a big and advanced technology such as “autonomous
control”.
Since our company will have large ships as necessary for the transportation. If we would
implement the autonomous control, that is a major operation because ships are large and
complex.
Integrating smart technology such as AC would enable vessels to stay accurately on course
without requiring constant input from the captain.
- What does this do?
This reduces the chances for human error and allows real-time route information to be
implemented very fast.

For the employee in the firm, I would use the mainframe computers. Main reason for these
computers is because they store a large amount of data.

How would we deal with government for the customs?

We would make a deal with the Bank or with government to pay the cost for our shipping
and customs in the ports every end of December. Then the next step is to put extra price for
our shipping to the customers to pay the amount for shipping.
Logistics and supply chain
Logistic system for my shipping company
Manufacturer – companies that we would deal with. Some companies that I think in Albania
are missing are pretty little things, Shien, Primark, Adidas, and TK Max from UK that is an
huge outlet brand which has is branch all over the England.
Distributors – it is our company that distributes by sea. Our ships will be working hard with
latest technology to distribute all the products.
Wholesalers – these are our customers that sale the products
Retailers – this point will be explained more detailed below.

With our shipping company we will open even an agency which will provide the opportunity
to people to take their products directly from USA, EU or UK. These will be our retailers.
