Awake.AI is the thruster that is helping logistic companies around the world move towards a more intelligent and sustainable future. We work with all logistic actors at sea, ports, and land, making operations more efficient, safe and sustainable.
Now we are introducing the Awake Marketplace to enable efficient buying and selling of port and port-bound cargo flow operations related services and digital & physical products. With help of complete situational awareness and machine learning capabilities like predicting ship arrivals and other cargo events, buying and selling can be mostly automated and service deliveries are done just-in-time, with high quality.
Over the past 20 years, many industries have been refined by marketplace giants including eBay, Amazon, Uber, and Airbnb. They have addressed the asymmetric information about sellers’ offering and buyers’ needs by providing rules and infrastructure that facilitate and improve the transactions. This creates value for the current actors while creating new supply and new demand.
“Awake Marketplace is the Amazon for ports”
For ports the Marketplace brings increased attractiveness and quality services. Awake Marketplace gives sellers easier selling, new sales opportunities and more revenue. Buyers experience easier buying, reduced prices and increased quality. Overall all logistics actors get more choices, increased transparency and unprecedented collaboration capability.
Awake Marketplace creating new supply and demand
Awake.AI has built a complete digital infrastructure that enables new suppliers to enter the port logistics market. Service and product suppliers are moving from manual and time consuming selling processes to modern and easy-to-use service delivery tools for total service transparency, collaboration and situational awareness. Sales processes can be automated by marketplace tools driven by machine learning. Comprehensive web and mobile messaging tools around transactions to keep all parties aware of what is happening. Awake Marketplace has the ability to host services and products in multiple ports with different settings and expanding rapidly to new ports. Awake Marketplace introduces the ability to develop service enhancements or totally new services.
Awake Marketplace suppliers will make more sales by being visible, easily found and showing the strengths to potential customers. Services and products can be expanded to more ports and even to new countries fast and easily. Awake Marketplace gives access to new sales channels for example buyers’ ERP systems.
Today, buying is a slow manual process for almost all products and services. This is because they need to be purchased one by one. Usually, there is little to no competition, too high prices and quality could be much better. There is almost no visibility to service delivery and quality metrics. Awake Marketplace is changing all this and even creating new demand for modern digital and automation services for cost savings and better quality. More choices means more competition which lowers the prices for customers. Buyers get faster, simpler and even automated buying, quality transparency and the ability to give quality feedback.
Awake Marketplace introduces the automated ML-driven suggested port call purchases. We analyze and monitor events that take place and predict when they are likely to happen. Buying is analyzed using historical purchases data, recurring purchases and suggestions based on those are automated. Smart shopping carts are created with related likely products and services.
“Awake.AI introduces the world’s first marketplace automating the buying and selling of port services and products”
Awake.AI is introducing a services and products marketplace for ports first in the world. It is part of Awake.AI’s long-term strategy to comprehensively provide situational awareness, planning, predictions and optimizations for the whole port-bound cargo import and export flows. “We are the first to combine marine services into a marketplace where traditionally you have competitors only hosting physical products in the catalog.” - highlights Karno Tenovuo, CEO & Co-founder of Awake.AI.
