Enabling smarter ship operations through cloud-based data solutions

Vard Electro, a specialist in maritime technology, was developing a digital solution that required a robust cloud infrastructure for storing key vessel data. As part of this initiative, the company needed a secure and scalable cloud service that could meet strict cybersecurity and resilience standards. To support the project, Vard Electro engaged Twoday to provide specialist expertise in cloud architecture and software development, along with additional capacity during a period of high activity.

Client: Vard Electro
Industry: Maritime technology

The solution

Throughout a three-year collaboration, Twoday’s consultants and developers worked closely with Vard Electro to design and implement a cloud-based solution for the secure collection, storage, and sharing of vessel data.

Twoday’s contribution spanned three distinct service areas:

1. Consultancy services

Twoday’s consultants worked alongside Vard Electro’s engineers to analyze legacy signal systems and ensure the new cloud environment maintained data integrity and reliability. Their input was essential to aligning the solution with Vard Electro’s technical and security requirements.

2. Process and system development

Built on Microsoft Azure, the cloud solution was developed with clear routines for data backup, issue handling, and documentation. Twoday supported Vard Electro with release notes and technical documentation, ensuring transparency and long-term maintainability.

3. Data architecture

Twoday designed a robust data architecture for logging, organizing, and retrieving large amounts of operational data. This structure supports Vard Electro’s broader digitalization goals and strengthens the company’s ability to deliver reliable, data-driven insights to shipowners and operators.

In addition to this work, Vard Electro engaged Twoday to provide software development resources within projects related to remote operation technology. This demonstrates Twoday’s ability to integrate seamlessly into complex development environments and deliver specialized expertise across multiple technology areas.

Business impact for Vard Electro

Hired expertise: Twoday provided Vard Electro with access to a skilled team experienced in cloud-based solutions, while also strengthening internal capacity during a period of high activity to ensure steady progress across key development projects.
Secure data access: The new cloud infrastructure ensures reliable storage and availability of key vessel data collected through Vard Electro’s systems, enabling safe access for authorized users both onshore and offshore.
Cybersecurity and compliance: The solution meets strict industry standards for cybersecurity, data protection, and operational resilience.

A long-standing partnership

For nearly a decade, Twoday has been a trusted partner to Vard Electro, supporting the company’s digital transformation journey across areas such as advisory, UX design, ERP implementation, and more.

This long-term collaboration has given Twoday a strong understanding of Vard Electro’s business and the maritime industry, enabling us to contribute effectively across a wide variety of projects.

”Twoday have been able to use their knowledge of our business and the maritime sector to develop the system architecture we needed. They are a valued strategic partner that works closely with our own teams at the same location, which makes them feel like part of our organization. This has undoubtedly contributed to the speed with which we’ve been able to complete this project,” says Kent Inge Klokk, Team Leader software development, Vard Electro.
