SEDNA Shipping Integrations

Index

Aptly sharing a name with a sea-goddess, SEDNA has become synonymous with the maritime and shipping industries built upon decades of industry knowledge and involvement. With a focus on team communications and reducing email volume for smarter collaboration, SEDNA has become a key fixture within the shipping industry, streamlining the workflows of industry leaders such as Monson Agencies, NORDEN, and Western Bulk

Since then, SEDNA continues to evolve to support existing and new maritime tools and platforms that enable users to integrate their technologies for more streamlined communication and collaborative workflows. With SEDNA’s open API, as well as SEDNA Link, these integrations have become increasingly seamless as we begin to empower partners and customers to build their own integrations.

To date, SEDNA’s net has been cast wide to include partnerships with many of the industry’s leading and most-used maritime management tools. We’ve outlined some key SEDNA shipping integrations below. If a platform you’re using isn’t listed please let us know as it may be in development, or we can engage with you or the platform vendor to aid your digital transformation journey.
