Marine Stores Guide — David Matthams

The Marine Stores Guide (MSG) is a monolithic paper-based catalogue of everything you could ever want for your cargo ship, we were tasked with its digitisation.

MSG Online is comprised of two parts, the system managing the products and providing an API, and the blazing-fast web app. The web app harnesses Algolia search, allowing users to find and browse products in a fraction of a second, then collect and export a list of product codes to send to suppliers.

We are continually improving this application, working with feedback from users and implementing new features, and the API is already helping power further projects.
