KSHAL: A web-based innovative software alternative for maritime logistics

The 20th Century was a milestone of evolutionary jumps in the number of critical changes in the business world. Technological innovations have not only been sparkled into our daily lives but also triggered the rise of intelligent systems that are integrating production systems, supply chains, customs authorities, b2b, c2c commercial activities and such. The boost of change came within the companies by the push of innovative technological systems. The internet made this jump more visible and widespread while providing new challenges and opportunities together. Dull software systems evolved into mobile or web-based, fully integrated multilingual assets that helped companies become new winners, or by another name, "record breakers" in the world markets. This thesis aims to enlighten the necessity of shifting companies to upgrade their software infrastructure into web-based, lightweight, budget-wise, feasible, innovative platforms that can create sustainable profitability while simplifying complex organizational problems. KSHAL project, a web-based maritime software alternative, will be the focal point of this thesis as an excellent example of planning, designing, coding, deploying and commercializing the whole software development process in one go.
