The port sector is facing a series of increasingly complex challenges due to the growing demand for global trade, fluctuations in the volume of cargo traffic, and the need to modernize infrastructures. In this context, optimizing logistics processes, improving ship arrival management, and increasing the efficiency of port operations have become a priority for both port authorities and port operators worldwide. In light of this, Global Candace created and launched a new ship tracking platform, named GCPorts, which provides information on arrival dates at configurable stops and final destinations, and, of course, offers arrival predictions well in advance, making this company the first in Spain with this solution, and already conducting pilots at a total of 4 ports worldwide.
Global Candace, Innovative Experts for the Ports of the Future
Global Candace has experienced remarkable growth in the past three years, averaging 200%, establishing itself as a key player in the container management industry, and recently in the global port sector. The company has not only expanded its presence in several international markets but is also prepared to tackle the most demanding challenges of the present day.
With the launch of GCPorts, Global Candace is at the forefront of technological innovation in the port sector. Through proprietary algorithms, the platform offers an advanced solution for predicting and managing ship arrivals, providing port authorities with an accurate, real-time view of maritime movements. This not only improves operational efficiency but also enables better arrival planning, avoiding congestion, which is common in many ports.
Strategic Support from Industry Leaders for Global Candace
The launch of this platform has been quickly supported by key figures in the industry, who have trusted in the potential of the solution and the promising future of the sector. Among them, the first to show support and work alongside the renowned visionary CEO of Global Candace, Alejandra Freites, and the powerful team behind the company led by its talented CTO, Óscar Valente, was Joan Pere Gómez, former Chief of Staff of the Presidency of Ports of Barcelona, with an active commitment.
Also, as a sign of the strong institutional support that the company has received in its mission to revolutionize the sector, stands the figure of Juan Manuel Martínez, President of the Spanish Association of Transport (AET), recognized for his constant struggle, commitment, and promotion of technological improvements in the sector with determination, who has shown strong support for this initiative. Continuing with the direct support and management of Luis Ascencio, an eminent figure in the application and integration of new technologies in ports in Latin America, whose experience and participation is invaluable for the platform’s expansion in the region.
Furthermore, the GCPorts solution will be part of the first pilot of the Artificial Intelligence Platform for Ports (PIAP), representing a significant step forward in the modernization of Spanish ports with the collaboration of Ports of the State. PIAP is a platform designed to showcase and initiate AI projects for ports, belonging to the transversal working group of Ports of the AET, led by Jaime Seijas from Ports of the State.
Of course, the collaboration of two international consulting firms, which contribute their vast experience in integrating technological solutions in the port sector, has also been another key pillar of this project and its success.
The Future of Ports: More Efficient, Smarter, More Sustainable
With the support of these highly relevant figures and an innovative platform that integrates AI and advanced algorithms, Global Candace is positioned as a benchmark in optimizing port processes globally. Ports of the future will need to adapt to the new demands of international trade, and Global Candace is at the forefront of this transformation.
The improvements it brings not only benefit port authorities but also represent a competitive advantage for the ports that implement these solutions. In an increasingly interconnected world, smart and optimized ports will be key to economic development and global competitiveness.
“Global Candace is ready to accompany the ports of the world into this new era, offering smart solutions tailored to the specific needs of each port authority, and contributing to the sector’s progress through innovation and technology.”
