DFDS A/S has a network of 30 routes and 50 passenger and freight ships in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel including freight transport throughout Europe via land, rail and sea. Seven different vendors were originally in the race that started out last year. Adonis was chosen after a thorough due diligence process which included all the major aspects of the solutions offered, the ability to meet the functional requirements as well as the suppliers track record with respect to past implementation projects and references.

Mikkel Groth-Andersen, IT Project Portfolio Manager at DFDS A/S says “Key factors behind our choice were the fact that Adonis offers a seamless database solution which ties the operators together in our offices and onboard all our vessels in one core, central maritime Crewing & Payroll system. With Adonis we will be able to lift our maritime Crewing procedures and increase our efficiency on many levels.  The possibility to secure smooth and efficient integrated payroll processes in the various countries where we are working was also important.”
