PortDesk — Port Warehouse Inbound Management System

Business SystemLogistics

A Windows Forms application that manages inbound/warehousing at Japanese port warehouses with complex logistics — such as Yokohama, Nagoya, and Kobe. PortDesk optimizes the process, reduces errors, and integrates with international standards like SCM and ERP.

Background & Challenges

The legacy system used costly Oracle, so a migration to free PostgreSQL that still met requirements was needed.
The legacy system was buggy and built on an old platform.
The source design was unoptimized, making feature extension difficult.

Goal

Replace the costly, aging legacy system, streamline port-warehouse inbound operations, and build a maintainable, extensible foundation.

Solution

DB migration: Moved from costly Oracle to free PostgreSQL, meeting requirements while cutting costs.
Rebuild: Fixed legacy-platform defects and rebuilt on Windows Forms.
Extensibility: Optimized the source structure to ease feature additions.
Integration: Connected with customs systems and SCM/ERP standards.

Development Features

Inbound management (by item, by port): create inbound slips, check & confirm, allocate storage locations.
Integration with the customs system.
Reports.

Results

Cost reduction: Dropping the Oracle license lowered operating costs.
Quality improvement: The rebuild fixed legacy defects and reduced data-entry errors.
Extensibility & maintainability: The optimized structure makes adding features and maintenance easier.
Operational efficiency: Reorganized the inbound–confirmation–customs flow, streamlining port logistics.
