The MarineProvider Safenet Integration Solution seamlessly integrates into ABS NS Safenet Maintenance & Purchase software version 4.41b giving greatly enhanced system functionality. This directly improves efficiency, profitability and overall business performance.

Marine buyers are still challenged with manual steps in the purchasing process including the processing of incoming and outgoing faxes and the multiple rounds of data entry these require. Quotes are often received in different formats that lead to various processing challenges and re-keying of data. The users of ABS NS Safenet gain compelling business advantages, such as significantly decreased transaction processing costs, shorter transaction cycles, and elimination of manual data re-entry. The MarineProvider technological platform also opens to further integration opportunities between the various market players in the marine industry.

Through the use of internet technology, MarineProvider streamlines communication between buyers and suppliers and defines a common integration platform for both.
The supplier receives Requests For Quotes and Purchase Orders through the MarineProvider Integration Solution in the same format every time. Supplier's quotes and order confirmations are fed directly back into ABS NS Safenet, thereby excluding errors of manual data re-entry. The enhanced level of automation gained by combining the Safenet purchasing software with MarineProvider's solution makes an inexpensive, flexible, scalable, quick and easy-to-use system.

MarineProvider offers a total integration solution and full support to buyers and suppliers enabling them to integrate their existing systems and gain mutual benefits.
