Benefits of Saas in the Shipping Industry | Maindeck AS

SaaS is software that is hosted centrally and is licensed on a subscription basis. As a result, a software provider owns, delivers, and manages the software remotely. In essence, SaaS is software on the lease that is maintained by the software provider rather than being hosted on your premises. SaaS apps are often referred to as web apps because they are hosted in a central cloud.

  3. BENEFITS OF SAAS IN THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY Having talked to several hundred shipping companies about software, I have come to the conclusion that there is still a lot of misinformation about cloud-based software. As the Software as a Service (SaaS) model has taken over most industries along time ago, it is still facing a relatively sceptical shipping industry.

  4. BUT FIRST, WHAT IS SAAS? Put simply, SaaS is software that is hosted centrally and has a subscription-based licence. So the software is owned, delivered and managed remotely by a software provider. In effect, SaaS is a software on lease, maintained by the software provider and not hosted on your premises. Because SaaS is hosted in a central cloud, SaaS apps are often referred to as web apps.

  5. Now that we now what SaaS or cloud software actually means, let us dig into the many benefits they provide. Lower cost Reduced time to benefit With SaaS, you pay for what you need, without having to buy hardware to host your new application. Instead of requiring internal resources to install and maintain the software, the software provider does all of this for you, and remotely. There are several ways in which the SaaS model reduces the time to benefit. First of all, in the SaaS model, the software application is already installed and configured. It's like "plug and play" but where the "plug" is already taken care of.

  6. No need for IT expertise Security Pay as you go SaaS software gives you the benefit of predictable costs both for the subscription and to some extent. Even as you scale, you can have a clear idea of what your costs will be. This allows for much more accurate budgeting For many, storing your files on-premise feels subconsciously "safer" because the information is physically closer to your location. However, this doesn't apply well to the realities of cybersecurity. In some businesses, IT wants nothing to do with installing and running an app. Under the SaaS model, since the software is hosted by the software provider, they take on the responsibility for maintaining the software and upgrading it.
