Why outstaff instead of hiring?
• Slash recruitment cycles from months to days while keeping full control of your roadmap.
• Pay only for productive hours—no HR, tax or retention overhead.
• Access a curated bench of senior JavaScript engineers already battle-tested on port facility billing automation, cargo throughput billing and container-tracking dashboards.
• Instantly scale teams up or down as vessel volumes fluctuate.
• Stay compliant—every developer signs strict NDAs, SSAE-18 data-handling clauses and transfers IP to you from day one.
• Keep focus on core operations while we handle vetting, equipment, payroll and continuous learning.
Result: lower total cost of ownership, faster go-live, and measurable ROI—without the hassles of direct employment.
What tech leaders say about our port facility billing automation teams
“Smartbrain.io plugged two Node.js experts into our maritime ERP within 4 days. They refactored our invoice engine and integrated real-time berth tariffs. Productivity jumped 32 % and my internal team finally focused on React UI without overtime.”
Linda Meyers
CTO
HarborTech Logistics
“Their TypeScript developers caught edge-case rounding bugs that cost us thousands in dockage fees. With automated test suites, dispute tickets fell by 70 %. Onboarding was seamless—Slack and GitHub access in under one hour.”
Carlos Bennett
VP Engineering
MidWest Cargo Systems
“We migrated a legacy Java billing module to modern ES2022 without service interruption. Smartbrain.io’s devs wrote idempotent AWS Lambdas and optimized PostgreSQL partitioning; nightly batch time dropped from 4 h to 45 m.”
Emily Zhao
Head of Product
Seaboard Maritime Finance
“React + GraphQL specialists built a portal that auto-prices wharfage based on AIS data. Manual billing effort is now 10 min/day. Smartbrain handled vetting, contracts, even hardware shipping.”
Robert Klein
Operations CIO
Atlantic Dry Bulk Corp
“Their senior Full-Stack JavaScript engineer stabilized our Kubernetes billing microservice with NestJS. Error rate went below 0.2 %. Hiring locally had taken 3 months; Smartbrain delivered talent in 72 h.”
Patricia Lee
Engineering Manager
Pacific Terminal Services
“Smartbrain’s Vue.js specialist added SOC-2 compliant audit trails to our invoice API. Government inspection passed with zero findings and we saved an estimated $200k in penalties.”

Industries benefitting from JavaScript-driven port facility billing automation
Container Terminals
Challenge: high-volume container moves, complex tariff matrices.
Our augmented JavaScript developers build dynamic berth scheduling dashboards, automate wharfage fee calculation, and integrate EDI 301/304 messages. Real-time billing automation ensures lightning-fast invoice generation and fewer disputes.
Cruise Ports
Tasks: passenger tax computation, shore-power usage billing, excursion revenue splits. JavaScript micro-frontends surface data to agents while Node.js back ends reconcile charges overnight, reducing manual spreadsheets and guest wait times.
Oil & Gas Docks
Needs: precise tank-farm throughput accounting, demurrage penalty tracking, hazardous-material fee automation. Our ES6 specialists build resilient event-driven services syncing SCADA data into the billing core with sub-second latency.
Free Trade Zones
Focus: customs duty exemption verification, storage-time tariffs, container re-export billing. We craft React portals and serverless APIs that auto-apply FTZ rules, eliminating manual overrides.
Shipyards
Work: dry-dock slot pricing, labor & material cost capture. Augmented JavaScript teams integrate IoT tool tracking with billing engines, giving finance teams real-time profitability insight.
Logistics Hubs
Scope: cross-dock operations, rail spur fees, storage billing. Our full-stack engineers create single-page apps that merge TMS data with automated invoicing, shortening DSO by 20 days.
Government Customs
Objective: transparent tariff collection and audit trails. TypeScript codebases process millions of line items, meeting strict federal security standards while slashing processing time.
Marine Insurance
Task: integrate voyage risk premiums into port invoices. JavaScript services consume actuarial APIs, generating real-time surcharge lines and reducing claim disputes.
FinTech for Ports
Goal: embedded payments, instant FX conversion, and automated reconciliation. Our Node.js squads build PCI-DSS compliant billing gateways, boosting cash flow visibility.
port facility billing automation case studies
Pan-Atlantic Ports Consortium
Client: Seven-terminal operating group.
Challenge: legacy COBOL system caused duplicate invoices and delayed port facility billing automation roll-outs.
Solution: Two augmented JavaScript squads replaced batch jobs with Node.js event streams and React admin panels, integrating AIS feeds for automatic berth charge triggers.
Result: 38 % faster invoicing cycle, 95 % reduction in billing errors, and annual revenue leakage cut by $4.2 M.
HarborX SaaS Migration
Client: Cloud software vendor for mid-size ports.
Challenge: scaling multi-tenant architecture while maintaining accurate port facility billing automation rules.
Solution: Smartbrain.io augmented three senior TypeScript engineers who containerized microservices, added dynamic tariff engines and CI/CD pipelines.
Result: 62 % deployment frequency increase and churn rate dropped to 2.1 %.
Gulf Bulk Terminals Real-time Billing
Client: Bulk cargo operator with 120+ berths.
Challenge: paper-based processes stalled port facility billing automation, extending DSO beyond 45 days.
Solution: Four Smartbrain full-stack JavaScript specialists developed serverless AWS Lambda billing services and Vue.js dashboards.
Result: DSO shrank to 18 days and manual data entry hours fell by 87 %.
