One profile
The full crew history in one place.
Role, contracts, certificates, leave and documents sit in one profile for every crew member, onboard and ashore.
Certificates
Renew before it becomes a problem.
Expiry alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days give captains and managers time to plan renewals before a certificate becomes critical.
Compliance
Work and rest records ready for inspection.
Hours are recorded as part of the normal workflow, in line with MLC requirements, instead of being rebuilt before an inspection.
“From a captain’s side, it makes follow-up easier and keeps everything in one place, which is useful during handovers and reporting. The crew got used to it quickly as well.”
