Hobart, Australia | 5 August 2025
TasPorts is undertaking a multimillion-dollar digital transformation that will improve efficiency, and enable smarter, more sustainable operations across Tasmania’s ports.
Delivered in partnership with Australia’s largest systems integrator, Brennan, the transformation will replace outdated legacy systems with a modern digital platform built on Microsoft solutions - improving service delivery, and providing integrated, real-time data TasPorts needs to operate as a key economic enabler for Tasmania.
TasPorts CEO Anthony Donald said the investment positioned Tasmania’s ports to meet future trade and logistics demands more efficiently.
“Our ports are the gateway to Tasmania’s economy. This transformation will give us a unified view of operations and enable us to shift from reactive to predictive decision-making, whether that’s allocating berth space more efficiently, better managing maintenance schedules, or planning future asset upgrades.”
Anthony Donald, CEO, TasPorts
“We expect to see tangible improvements in day-to-day operations, and stronger support for our customers and supply chain partners. That’s good for TasPorts, good for industry and good for Tasmania.”
Initially prompted by the end-of-life status of TasPorts’ current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, the transformation will go far beyond basic replacement.
Brennan will deliver a fully integrated ERP and data platform using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure Integration Services. This will link seamlessly with key operational platforms such as PortMate, which helps maximise port capacity through smarter scheduling and asset utilisation.
Brennan Managing Director, Dave Stevens, said the partnership would set a new benchmark for port digitisation in Australia.
“This is about using data and automation to run ports smarter reducing inefficiencies, strengthening asset lifecycle management and planning for growth in a changing economic environment.”

The project, to be delivered by mid-2026, includes support from Tasmanian firm GSD Advisors to ensure smooth organisational change and staff adoption.
