Built on the successes of ABS’ industry-leading My Digital Fleet and Nautical Systems platforms, the company’s flagship program provides maritime clients with innovative fleet management software to improve the reliability and performance of their shipping operations. ## The Situation ABS needed help globally launching its new maritime SaaS company, combining two of its industry-leading software products — My Digital Fleet and Nautical Systems — into one brand identity and dedicated web experience. Building on 160 years of maritime expertise and classification services, the company sought to distinguish itself above other maritime software companies by offering its best-in-class fleet management systems and AI-driven analytics and performance visualization platforms through one integrated website. ## The Challenge ABS faced numerous challenges in creating its new integrated website: - **Security:** ABS required that its hosting platform meet the company’s stringent security criteria and protect all data and proprietary information. Their chosen platform must include end-to-end SSL encryption through all connected platforms and customer information, and compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and other international security requirements. - **Language translation and localization:** As a global brand, ABS needed to be able to communicate to clients and prospects in their local languages. - **Lead generation:** To collect leads worldwide across many different languages, ABS needed a mature lead management solution that could be integrated into the entire customer journey. ## The Solution ABS partnered with [Adcetera](https://www.adcetera.com/), and the teams started the project with a strategy to help ABS build a new brand, developing new and updating legacy content and assets. Working closely with ABS’ IT and marketing teams, Adcetera demonstrated Acquia Cloud Platform passed the stringent security audits required by ABS. Next, Adcetera spearheaded the brand development, meticulously crafting ABS’ new identity from the ground up. This comprehensive initiative included formulating a distinctive brand message, designing a visually compelling logo, and establishing a unique aesthetic harmoniously reflected across all elements, including a state-of-the-art website. Adcetera seamlessly integrated the website’s lead generation forms with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for lead management. The lead tracking includes a tag management solution that allows ABS to capture the entire customer journey from an ad to the website into the CRM. And Adcetera tackled ABS’ language challenges by implementing a translation solution that included language-specific style guides. Now, ABS content creators can easily add new languages translated by humans through a Drupal connector. The site is compatible with Acquia Site Studio for dynamic content upgrades and supports right-to-left languages. ## The Results To ensure a swift market entry, Adcetera expedited the launch of an initial website, laying the foundation for a robust digital presence within one month, with the full website unveiled three months later. This sophisticated platform showcases custom infographics and fresh content, seamlessly integrated with the Dynamics 365 system to facilitate streamlined operations. Additionally, the new website offers content translated into 10 languages to cater to a diverse global audience, reflecting the brand's commitment to inclusivity and global reach. Working together, the ABS and Adcetera teams achieved: - 59% of total users came from outside the U.S., representing 77 countries - A 2.9% conversion rate from users to leads within three weeks of the site launch - 1.7 seconds for site load time across all geographies - ABS’ main target languages (Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, Greek, and French) comprised 52% of non-English users ## Additional Resources [View More Resources](/index%2ephp/resources) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-yellow-icon.png) Case Study 4 min ###### AVL AVL needed a cost-effective, open source web solution, and Acquia provided a multisite-friendly platform. ](/index%2ephp/resources/customer-stories/avl) [ ![](/themes/custom/juice/images/resources/card/Case-Study/orange-to-navy-icon.png) Case Study 4 min ###### Stallion Infrastructure Services When Stallion Infrastructure Services needed to unite multiple brands in one website, Acquia delivered a streamlined, integrated user experience. ](/index%2ephp/resources/customer-stories/stallion-infrastructure-services) ## Learn more about Acquia solutions: First Name Last Name Email Company Job Title Country Country AfghanistanÅland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua & BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAscension IslandAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBosnia & HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBritish Virgin IslandsBruneiBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCanary IslandsCape VerdeCaribbean NetherlandsCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicCeuta & MelillaChadChileChinaChristmas IslandClipperton IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongo - BrazzavilleCongo - KinshasaCook IslandsCosta RicaCôte d’IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaDenmarkDiego GarciaDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard & McDonald IslandsHondurasHong Kong SAR ChinaHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLaosLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacao SAR ChinaMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmar (Burma)NamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth KoreaNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestinian TerritoriesPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairn IslandsPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRéunionRomaniaRussiaRwandaSamoaSan MarinoSão Tomé & PríncipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia & South Sandwich IslandsSouth KoreaSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSt. BarthélemySt. HelenaSt. Kitts & NevisSt. LuciaSt. MartinSt. Pierre & MiquelonSt. Vincent & GrenadinesSudanSurinameSvalbard & Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyriaTaiwanTajikistanTanzaniaThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad & TobagoTristan da CunhaTunisiaTürkiyeTurkmenistanTurks & Caicos IslandsTuvaluU.S. Outlying IslandsU.S. Virgin IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVatican CityVenezuelaVietnamWallis & FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabwe State - Select -AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasArmed Forces (AA)Armed Forces (AE)Armed Forces (AP)CaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarshall IslandsMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMicronesiaMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPalauPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirgin IslandsVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming Marketing Opt-In Yes, I would like to receive updates and information about Acquia's products, events, webinars, and more.
