This customer testimonial breaks down exactly why Weco chose Toqua.
Convenience
Firstly, it’s very easy to get started with Toqua. No installations or crew onboarding required. Toqua’s AI solution is system-agnostic—it layers effortlessly onto any existing setup. In Weco’s case, that meant establishing a single connection with its noon reporting solution - and they were good to go. This was taken care of in under 24 hours.
"It was very easy to get started. It required a single email, and 24 hours later, everything was up and running."
Time Savings
Then the results quickly follow. Weco valued the simple interface, clear numbers, and timely alerts. Toqua’s AI converts all of the raw, noisy data, into clear performance conclusions. Getting the right information, at the right time, saves Weco a lot of time and effort. As Martin put it: ‘It’s very easy to see if the vessels are performing or not’.
"We’re a lean company, so we’re always short on hands. With this tool, it suddenly feels like we have an extensive performance department, while in reality it just allows me to do much more with less time."
Pro-active support
Third, Weco values Toqua's proactive attitude and support. Even though getting started is easy, Toqua remains committed after implementation to actively support Weco in getting the most out of the solution. This includes regular status meetings, proactively communicating identified opportunities, and co-designing the best way for Toqua’s AI to fit within existing processes.
"Unlike others, you don’t disappear after signature, but remain very committed and proactive to make things happen."
Cost Savings & Emissions Reductions
But most importantly, Toqua delivers a strong, measurable impact. Within just 90 days, Weco identified several savings opportunities and a strong return on investment. Opportunities arose for both owned and chartered vessels - from technical performance to commercial warranties. This yielded meaningful fuel savings as well as increased earnings potential.
‘‘We have cashed on this on multiple occasions in the first 90 days. It allows us to flag issues early, raise them with the owner in time, saving us a lot of fuel.”
Conclusion
AI holds immense potential for maritime. Weco’s case shows how some of that potential is immediately within reach.
Toqua’s AI delivered clear savings in just 90 days, with setup in under 24 hours, all while cutting both time and emissions.
“We’re very proud of this case with Weco. Not only is it a clear-cut case of how easy and valuable it is to adopt Toqua’s AI - it also underlines how the industry values our active support to implement and adopt the AI technology successfully across an organization.”
