The Challenge: Uncertainty and Manual Bottlenecks

Before Anchor MMS, the marina faced recurring issues that severely affected efficiency and profitability.

1. Inaccurate On-Boarding Lists

On-boarding data often contained errors, missing passenger details, or duplicates. These inaccuracies caused invoice mismatches and required tedious manual corrections.

2. Complex Ticketing Scenarios

With different passenger types, travel plans, and durations of stay, ticket classification became a time-consuming manual process, increasing the risk of human error.

3. Manual Data Processing

Accounting teams spent countless hours auditing records, issuing credit and debit notes, and reconciling errors, resulting in lost time and reduced profitability.

4. Dynamic Passenger Changes

Frequent changes to passenger itineraries meant continuous updates and revalidations — without an automated system, it was nearly impossible to maintain data accuracy.

⚙️ The Solution: AI-Driven Accuracy with Anchor MMS

Anchor MMS deployed a comprehensive digital transformation for the marina, powered by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate data verification, invoicing, and real-time reporting.

🔍 Data Cleansing and Verification

Anchor MMS’s smart algorithm automatically analyzed on-boarding lists, detecting and correcting errors, predicting missing fields, and ensuring data consistency.

🎟️ Intelligent Ticket Classification

The ML model classified passenger tickets with precision — even when information was incomplete — enabling accurate billing and ticket mapping.

⏱️ Real-Time Integration

Integration with the Passport Control System allowed live status updates, automatically syncing passenger entry and exit data for enhanced transparency.

Automated Invoicing

Anchor MMS generated draft invoices automatically, based on validated data. The need for manual verification dropped dramatically, saving accounting teams hours every day.
