In this research, the authors focus on the Business Process as a Service and how it can be used into Port Logistics industry, to begin the researches provide a literature review, analyze, develop a mathematical approach of Total Cost of Ownership and evaluate the same case study under the applicability of Business Process as a Service in order to emphasize which challenges and opportunities Port Logistics need to take in account before these hubs make plans for expanding its growth, competitive advantages and benefits of its applicability.
