Vantage Corp Successfully Commercializes OpsWiz and Secures First Customer

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vantage Corp (NYSE American: VNTG) ("Vantage" or the "Company"), a shipbroking firm providing comprehensive services including brokerage, consultancy and operational support in the tanker market, announced that its subsidiary Hado Pte. Ltd. (“Hadō”) has secured Felcor Petroleum Pte. Ltd. (“Felcor Petroleum”) as the first customer of OpsWiz, a proprietary cloud-based operational control and automation platform for the maritime tanker and shipbroking sectors.

Felcor Petroleum will initially deploy OpsWiz for demurrage management, with plans to expand its use case into trade capture, automated cargo pricing, and inventory integration. The platform is intended to consolidate key workflows, improve data visibility, and reduce manual handling as Felcor Petroleum’s operations scale.

“Commercializing OpsWiz and securing its first customer marks a significant milestone in the platform’s development,” said Vantage Corp CEO Andre D’Rozario. “For years, we’ve used OpsWiz only for internal use. Felcor Petroleum’s adoption of OpsWiz provides external validation while demonstrating the platform’s potential beyond our internal shipbroking operations. We continue to refine OpsWiz and are making strides in adding a pre-fixing tool for the petrochemical market. OpsWiz remains an important part of our business as we continue to diversify beyond traditional shipbroking earnings and strengthen our broader growth platform.”

Philip Chee, Managing Director at Felcor Petroleum, added: “We chose Vantage’s OpsWiz platform because it aligns with our vision of building a more connected, data-driven energy trading business. Beginning with demurrage management and progressing into trade capture, automated cargo pricing and inventory integration, we see the platform helping Felcor Petroleum improve visibility, accuracy and operational control while creating a technology foundation that can scale with our growth.”
