The Challenge: Unwanted security risks, high email volume and stalled search

Dry bulk shipping company Western Bulk has a fleet of over 150 commercial vessels and a global customer base to manage.

Before using Stream by Sedna, they struggled to scale while receiving an increasingly high volume of emails. Search was slow and often led to system crashes. Lack of team visibility and security meant it was difficult to spot phishing attempts. Email was holding Western Bulk back from taking action, affecting the bottom line. This is where Stream by Sedna came in.

"With our old system, it was almost impossible to find old emails. You might set a search running and - if you were lucky - find what you need sometime after lunch."
