At the beginning of business engagement between Luka Koper and Actual I.T. it was initially determined that the existing sales and operational support operating on legacy mainframe computers since 1990, was no longer suitable for supporting the entire business processes and its global integration within their business environment.

Due to Luka Koper's specific activities and its organizational structure, the decision was accepted to implement a new specific information system to transparently optimize the business processes and serve as a platform when introducing new information sub-systems and solutions.

During the IT modernization initial preparation phase, there was a separation of certain functionalities distinguished between the core information system for sales and operations (TinO), and the functionalities covered by standard solutions with existing information sub-systems (information system for container loading – COSMOS, industrial weighting systems,...).

The following sub-systems were introduced during the IS implementation:

• the entry point offering external partners to use various technologies for information exchange with Luka Koper's information system,
• data hub between various systems in Luka Koper and external partners responsible for data transformation and direction,
• web solution for subscribers enabling them placing orders and record review of completed solutions (Lunaris),
• information system TinO offering the following solutions:
  • service ordering,
  • record keeping,
  • warehouse record keeping (port, customs, excise),
  • invoicing and billing,
  • contracts,
  • ship announcements,
  • ordering of labour and railroad wagons,
  • process to keep track of exchanging wagons with Slovenian railway,
  • posting and calculation of work orders,
  • handling and processing of messages from other sub-systems and subscribers,
  • information creation and dispatching into sub-systems and to subscribers,
  • data warehouse composition and transfer of data into ERP SAP system.
