MARITIME SHIPMENT MOBILE APPLICATION

Abstract

The growth of e-commerce has affected the world drastically and increased the number of users for e-commerce. Therefore, the seller or buyer will need an online platform to manage their shipping activities to facilitate shipping costs. Shipping costs include the payment of cargo, freight, and tax insurance to the government. In this study, a mobile application was designed and developed to book vessels and identify and pay the amount of money that needs to be paid, particularly on the rate of the cargo and tax insurance premium. For this project, the methodology chosen is the Agile methodology. Agile development makes conscious of the problem earlier than becoming interested in the issue once the plan is finished. The agile methodology includes the user constantly throughout the entire project, including revision scheduling, test sessions and new features incorporated into the code. This system is developed using the three-tiered architecture. The architecture of three levels connects the presentation layer, application layer and database layer. The reason this architecture is chosen is that it will have high performance. The importance of high-performance architecture is that this application consists of a booking element that must be applied for payment. This project has developed a secure and user-friendly mobile application for maritime shipments. This mobile maritime shipping application can book vessels, apply for insurance and cargo tax, and make the shipment payment most easily and securely. In addition, this system can create documents relating to the shipment. By using this mobile application, payments will be made online and eliminate paperwork.
