Optimization Solutions

Terminal Operations Using HONE

​

  • ​P5 Solutions partnered with SavantX, an industry leader in machine learning, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence, to create an optimization solution for terminal operations, which we call HONE (Hyper Optimized Nodal Efficiency). HONE is the platform we use to deliver tailored optimization solutions modeled to the unique requirements of your site.

  • The P5 Solutions/SavantX process starts with the creation of a digital twin of the terminal, which enables us to determine where optimization will be most beneficial. HONE is then programmed to deliver a solution built for your operation.

  • The P5 Solutions team, with its deep understanding of operations, can ensure that the right solution is developed for each facility.  With a proven track record of effecting change, we work with each customer to create a plan for deployment that will meet the business goals for the project, while minimizing impact on current operations.

Customer Service Using ZenDesk

  • ​P5 Solutions can help logistics operators upgrade and streamline customer service operations. We offer proven systems and services that can be tailored to your exact needs.

  • We recently modernized the customer service operation at one of the largest marine terminals in North America, leading to improved customer service levels and increased profitability.

  • With our help, customer service will become more measurable and therefore more manageable.

  • P5 Solutions can help you replace email as your customer service request tracker with a transparent solution that enables both you and your customer to record and monitor all service requests.

TechOps and Shared Services
Technical Operations

  • ​During the highly successful transformation of one of the largest marine terminals in Los Angeles, P5 Solutions created a TechOps group that was critical to our success.  

  • After Operational Technologies (OT) systems are deployed, their performance often degrades over time, dragging down overall operations performance and depriving the company of financial benefits.

  • The role of TechOps is to ensure that OT continues to perform at its highest level, allowing operational managers to focus on managing the business.  A TechOps team has a blend of technology and operational knowledge and experience, and serves as an integral part of operations.

  • P5 Solutions has developed a full TechOps program that includes monitoring/alerting tools, reporting and management tools, analytics, and best practices to ensure that TechOps maximizes the benefits of OT.
