Thome Ship chooses MarineLink's e-solution

Thome Ship Management has signed a three-year contract to use MarineLink eCommerce provided by EDB ErgoGroup for its purchasing operations, Seatrade-asia reports. The contract covers Thome Ship's entire fleet of about 150 vessels. Thome Ship will utilise MarineLink to implement eCommerce functionality towards its suppliers in the areas of handling inquiries, processing invoices, improving data quality and lower costs, among others. “More than 2,700 vessels are now trading through EDB ErgoGroup MarineLink, and the EDB ErgoGroup eCommerce solution is managing more than 15,000 integrated businesses performing over 250 million eCommerce transactions annually,” said Jonny Lotten of EDB ErgoGroup. EDB ErgoGroup had last year acquired Wilhelmsen Ships Service's eCommerce solution MTS. It was renamed as MarineLink and integrated into EDB ErgoGroup's eCommerce platform.
