French cruise line Ponant has partnered with Adonis, a provider of maritime human resources solutions, to streamline the running of its crewing and payroll operations.
In 2018, the cruise lines’ crewing and payroll operations will be run using the Adonis Maritime Suite.
“The complexity of our global operations made it necessary for us to start looking for a brand new platform and technology for our crewing agent UMS,” said François Vielfaure, executive vice president of marine operations for Ponant. “By choosing Adonis, we are confident that we are entering the future together with a partner that fully understand our high demands for reliable, efficient and cost reducing systems.”
Ponant currently operates five luxury cruise ships and the cruise line plans to increase this to nine vessels in 2019.
“Being selected by Ponant, after a rigorous evaluation process, confirms that Adonis is continuing to meet the needs of today’s labour-intensive, demanding and highly competitive maritime businesses,” said Sigrid Kviteberg, project director at Adonis. “Ponant and Adonis both enjoy reputations as innovators in their respective fields, which is why we’re so honoured to have been selected as their technology partner. We look forward to helping them streamline their existing fleet, and to a productive, long-term partnership to support their growth and continued innovation in the years ahead.”
