Southeast Asian maritime logistics operator with 100-vessel fleet and integrated container services
Meratus Group operates a large-scale maritime and logistics network across Southeast Asia built on legacy enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365) while actively pursuing digitalization and ERP implementation. The hiring acceleration skews heavily toward logistics, operations, and sales roles—reflecting pressure to improve operational efficiency and acquire customers—while engineering capacity remains thin at 8 headcount, suggesting digitalization is being driven by business process teams rather than product engineering.
