Octo and Porto sem Papel

One document per port stay. Octo helps connect your system to it.

The Ministry of Ports and Airports describes Porto sem Papel as a port management information system, developed to cut red tape in ship port-stay procedures. The port-stay forms were brought together in the Virtual Single Document, the DUV, and the PSP publishes services to query and change its information. Octo can prepare the integration of your company's system with these services, using the access your company already has registered.

The company's system, the registered key and the DUV number go into Octo, which returns the DUV status queries and the changes prepared for review.

What Octo does with Porto sem Papel.

Four possible deliverables. All of them use the access your company already has and go through the team's review.

Integration with PSP services

Can write the client that authenticates with the key and password registered by your company and calls the DUV query and change services, renewing the token before the 30 minutes are up.

Deliverable: integration client for review, with no credentials in the code

Internal port-stay dashboard

Can gather in an internal dashboard what the queries return, such as clearances and arrivals and departures, so the team can follow along without copying by hand.

Deliverable: internal dashboard built from the queries

Check before submission

Can check the data your company will report in the DUV against what your system already has, before anyone submits it.

Deliverable: list of discrepancies before submission

Documents for automated review

The PSP already runs automated document review and shows the fields read with the status and validation of each one. Octo can organize your company's documents and help the team handle what the result points out.

02

Eight arms, one integration.

The same Octo cycle, applied to this topic. Each arm has a narrow role; the people who approve and sign are on your team.

  1. Discovery

    Identifies the access

    Which profile your company has in the PSP, which services it can call and what is done by hand today.

  2. Data

    Maps field to field

    Each field in the company's system linked to the DUV field it feeds. Without that map, the integration repeats the error on every port stay.

  3. Security

    Keeps the credentials safe

    Key and password stay in the company's vault, never in the code. Octo does not use access of its own.

  4. Architecture

    Picks the path

    Periodic query, change with human review or just the dashboard, depending on the risk of each service.

  5. Development

    Writes the client

    Authentication, token renewal, calls and a record of each response.

  6. Review

    Tests in the designated environment

    Runs first on the queries, which change nothing, and compares with what the team sees in the system.

  7. Release

    Publishes with your OK

    Changes only go into use after your team's approval.

  8. Documentation

    Records the manual version

    Which version of the Services Manual was used, so the next change can be traced.

Octo does not operate Porto sem Papel. The integration uses the access your company already has, and your team is the one that submits and responds in the system.

03

Each task, its path.

The criteria Octo uses to pick the path. The regulation and the official system remain the reference.

From request to routine.

Three steps. Each one only makes sense once the previous one has shown results on your team.

A proposal, not a promise

  • Reviewed field map
Benefit: less rework after submission

Changes with review

Where it makes sense, changes are now prepared by the system and approved by the team.

  • Change prepared, human approval
  • Record of who approved each submission
Benefit: the data is entered once

What Octo does and what stays with you.

Octo prepares everything, but does not sign. The document of record stays with whoever is accountable for it.

Octo prepares

Gathers, calculates, organizes and produces the documents: spreadsheets, reports, dashboards and drafts.

Deliverable: material ready for review

Your team reviews

The licensed professional reviews what Octo delivered before signing. If something doesn't add up, it goes back to Octo with the correction.

Step: review by whoever signs

Who signs

Octo does not sign. Designs, technical reports, ART/RRT, accountability reports and any official document are still signed by the licensed professional at the company or agency: here, the professional of record and the port authority.

Signature: professional of record and port authority
