TasPorts, a state-owned company responsible for ten Tasmanian ports and the Devonport Airport, is undertaking a multimillion-dollar digital transformation delivered in partnership with Brennan.
This will replace outdated legacy systems with a modern digital platform built on Microsoft solutions, aiming to improve service delivery and provide integrated, real-time data that TasPorts needs to operate.
Initially prompted by the end-of-life status of TasPorts’ current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, the partnership will see Brennan deliver a fully integrated ERP and data platform using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure Integration Services.
This will link with key operational platforms such as PortMate, which helps maximise port capacity through smarter scheduling and asset utilisation.
TasPorts CEO Anthony Donald said the investment positioned Tasmania’s ports to meet future trade and logistics demands more efficiently.
“This transformation will give us a unified view of operations and enable us to shift from reactive to predictive decision-making, whether that’s allocating berth space more efficiently, better managing maintenance schedules, or planning future asset upgrades,” he said.
“We expect to see tangible improvements in day-to-day operations, and stronger support for our customers and supply chain partners. That’s good for TasPorts, good for industry and good for Tasmania.”
Brennan MD Dave Stevens said the partnership would set a new benchmark for port digitisation in Australia.
“This is about using data and automation to run ports smarter reducing inefficiencies, strengthening asset lifecycle management and planning for growth in a changing economic environment,” Stevens said.
The project, to be delivered by mid-2026, includes support from Tasmanian firm GSD Advisors.
