Blue Water Shipping operates a Microsoft-first tech stack (Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform) paired with legacy shipping software (CargoWise, TMS), now undertaking a major SAP S/4HANA public cloud migration. The hiring mix skews heavily toward logistics roles (14 open) over engineering (9), reflecting operational scale over platform-building—a classic asset-heavy logistics operator pattern. Active projects signal a push to modernize internal systems: microservices integration, data loss prevention, and a new internal chatbot suggest they're wrestling with fragmented tooling across 80 global offices.
