Email, call or coffee in person - what's your favorite way to connect?
I prefer communications that allow me a more personal connection. Although email is practical in certain situations, I consider it a more impersonal tool that, in many cases, does not convey emotions or facilitate the exchange of ideas. Whenever possible, I prefer a face-to-face conversation, either over coffee or, when circumstances do not allow it, via videoconferencing. Working remotely with many people, I value the ability to have conversations where we can see and hear each other.

Spanish ports will have to take on this challenge.
From a technological point of view, one of the most important challenges for Spanish ports will be to optimize their internal processes through an ERP tool. A well-structured ERP allows ports to centralize and automate key tasks, but the real challenge lies in integrating these internal systems with platforms focused on user experience. It is critical that ERPs are not only internal management tools, but are also connected with interfaces that allow mariners to easily interact with port services. For example, digital tools such as online berth reservations, personalized service management or mobile applications that provide real-time information on rates, availability and conditions. The The key will be to achieve a balance: an ERP system that optimizes the port's internal processes, reducing costs and time, and at the same time a technological strategy that places the navigator at the center, offering efficient, accessible and personalized services.
