Building a Digital Backbone for Certification, Plan Appraisal, and Lifecycle Governance
The Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), a globally recognized ship classification society, embarked on a digital transformation journey to modernize its ePlan platform and core certification processes.
With increasing regulatory complexity, multi-disciplinary approvals, and high document volumes, IRS required more than system enhancement it required a robust digital backbone powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
BWC Labs partnered with IRS to architect, implement, and subsequently upgrade a mission-critical ePlan system aligned to classification, compliance, and certification workflows.
The Business Challenge
IRS operates in a highly regulated marine ecosystem where classification, certification, and statutory compliance demand precision and traceability. Key challenges included:
BWC’s 3DEXPERIENCE Implementation Approach
As a 3DEXPERIENCE services partner, BWC delivered an end-to-end implementation tailored to IRS’s classification lifecycle.
We studied IRS’s As-Is certification workflows and mapped them into structured 3DEXPERIENCE processes, covering:
The result was a digitally governed To-Be workflow fully embedded within 3DEXPERIENCE.
BWC engineered bidirectional API-based integrations between 3DEXPERIENCE and:
Critical data exchanges included:
This ensured real-time synchronization across systems and eliminated manual reconciliation.
The platform was configured to reflect IRS’s organizational structure, including:
The implementation ensured regulatory traceability while maintaining strict operational governance.
Business Impact
The IRS ePlan transformation delivered measurable organizational value:
