Dunaverty Limited t/a Rathlin Ferry
Private Ferry Operator with a Public Service Obligation
The requirements for Rathlin Ferry included online ticket sales for passengers, concessions and social welfare passes, and vehicles. Staff in the terminal had to be able to manage, change, or refund tickets in the event of cancellations. The system had to manage complex loading patterns for vehicles including dangerous goods and large construction lorries. One of the largest aspects of the system was the comprehensive suite of reporting required to manage the public service obligations of the service.
We developed a bespoke suite of applications including a Microsoft .Net API (an application that allows third party software to integrate with your software), a customer facing ticket sales website, an office administration platform, a crew ticket checking and boarding app for use on rugged Android tablets, and a comprehensive suite of reports built on Microsoft Power BI. We also installed and configured Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365 for the company – giving all staff secure access to documents, reports, email, and the applications we developed. We hosted the system on Microsoft Azure – a cloud-based platform that offers world class security and reliability.
The system is 100% reliable, extremely efficient, and has been a complete game changer for the ferry service from Ballycastle to Rathlin. As a result, Dunaverty Limited is meeting its contractual obligations and has secured a continued contract to run the service.
