Users can find guidance faster, access relevant fleet information more easily and shape their workspace around the way they work. This is more than just a new look. It is a smarter way to work with Cloud Fleet Manager. ## Rebuilt for a faster, clearer experience CFM Portal has always been the starting point for working with Cloud Fleet Manager. It brings relevant information together and helps users stay on top of what needs their attention across vessels, departments and daily workflows. The updated Portal builds on this central role with a modernised experience designed around speed, clarity and ease of use. A modernised interface, clearer layout and improved navigation make it easier for users move from overview to action, whether they are checking upcoming crew changes, monitoring certificates, reviewing vessel schedules or following up on operational tasks. With less time spent searching and navigating, users can focus more quickly on the work that requires their attention. ## AI built into the heart of the Portal One of the biggest steps forward in the updated Portal is the introduction of AI-powered assistance directly inside the CFM workspace. With the new Portal, AI becomes part of the everyday CFM experience, helping users move faster from question to answer, from guidance to action and from operational data to better decisions. Two new AI capabilities make this possible: the AI Assistant helps users retrieve information from the CFM data they are authorised to access, while AI Manual Search makes it easier to find answers to questions about CFM features or workflows covered in the manuals. Need to check fleet information? Ask. Need to understand what requires attention? Ask. Need to find the right guidance in the manuals? Ask. No complex search. No unnecessary navigation. Just a smarter way to get to the information users need. ## A smarter way to access operational data The new AI Assistant gives users a more intuitive way to access operational information from CFM. Users can ask questions in plain language and receive answers based on the information available to them within the Portal. For example, they can ask about vessel schedules, upcoming port calls, crew lists, pending crew changes, certificates that require attention or other relevant information connected to their role and responsibilities.This creates a more natural way for users to work with operational data. Instead of navigating through the system to find a specific answer, they can ask the AI Assistant and get straight to the information they need. Just as importantly, the AI Assistant respects existing access rights and permissions. It only works with data already available to the user, supporting faster information retrieval without changing established permissions or responsibilities.For fleet teams, the benefit is practical and immediate: less manual searching, faster access to relevant information and more time to act on what needs attention ![Screenshot of CFM Portal AI Assistant](./CFM-Portal-AI-Assistant.png) ## Find CFM guidance faster with AI Manual Search The updated Portal also introduces AI Manual Search, a new way to access information from CFM manuals. All CFM manuals are directly available inside the Portal, so users can find guidance without leaving their daily workspace. With AI Manual Search, they can ask questions in plain language instead of searching through documentation manually. Whether they want to understand a workflow, check how to complete a task or find details about a specific feature, AI Manual Search looks through the relevant manual content and provides an answer with a cited source. This makes CFM knowledge easier to access across the organisation: new users can get up to speed faster, experienced users can quickly confirm specific details and teams can reduce time spent searching through documentation. By bringing manuals into the daily workspace and enhancing them with AI-powered search, CFM guidance becomes easier to find, verify and apply. ![Screenshot of CFM Portal AI Manual Search](./CFM-Portal-Manual-AI-Search.png) ## A Portal shaped around the way users work Every user works differently. The updated Portal reflects that. The redesigned experience gives users more control over how they organise their CFM workspace, allowing them to customise dashboards around their responsibilities, priorities and daily workflows. Users can bring the information they need most often into their own view and keep important updates, tasks and operational details visible from the start. Layouts can also be shared with specific users, teams or departments, making it easier to create consistent views and align around common priorities.With intuitive drag-and-drop customisation, the central CFM workspace becomes more personal, more flexible and easier to work from. ![Screenshot of CFM Portal dashboard customisation](./CFM-Portal-Dashboard-Customization.png) ## Smarter maps for better fleet visibility CFM World Map is also being enhanced with new weather layers, giving users more context when viewing their fleet. With new real-time weather layers, users can display information such as radar, clouds, wind, ocean currents, pressure and temperature directly on the map. This helps teams understand current conditions more easily and build a richer picture of what is happening around their vessels. By combining fleet positions, operational information and weather context in one visual workspace, CFM World Map becomes an even more powerful way to maintain a clear overview of fleet activity and surrounding conditions. ![Screenshot of CFM World Map](./CFM-World-Map.png) ## Make CFM your own The new Portal also gives users more freedom to customise the look and feel of their CFM workspace. Users can choose from several colour modes, including dark mode, to match their personal preference or working environment. ![Screenshot of a light and dark CFM Portal theme](./CFM-Portal-Themes.png) --- # Blog: ISF Watchkeeper integration now available in Cloud Fleet Manager URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/cloud-fleet-manager-integration-with-isf-watchkeeper/ Published: 2025-07-15 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Crew Management, Crewing, Product Update At LR OneOcean, we continue to evolve Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM) to help maritime organisations manage their operations more effectively. The latest enhancement is our new integration with [ISF Watchkeeper (ISF WK)](https://www.isfwatchkeeper.com), enabling more connected crew compliance and management across fleets. The integration allows relevant crew and contract data and work and rest hour records to synchronise between [CFM Crewing](/cloud-crewing/crewing/) and ISF WK. This helps ship operators reduce manual work, improve transparency, and simplify compliance processes between ship and shore. ## A connected approach to crew compliance and operations Managing crew assignments and ensuring compliance with work and rest hour regulations are critical aspects of ship operations — but they are often handled in separate systems. CFM and ISF Watchkeeper have long supported these areas. Now, by connecting both systems, we give operators a way to enhance how they manage compliance, operational efficiency, and inspection readiness. With the integration: - Relevant crew and contract data entered in CFM Crewing is automatically synchronised with ISF WK, reducing duplicate data entry and improving data consistency across platforms. - Work and rest hour records, including any deficiencies captured in ISF WK, are synchronised back to CFM as rest hour information (read-only), providing full visibility of compliance data within CFM. - Compliance reporting becomes more consistent and audit-ready across both systems. - Ship and shore teams gain greater transparency into crew activity and compliance status. - Data alignment helps simplify preparation for key inspections, including evolving requirements such as SIRE 2.0. ## Supporting your evolving needs This integration reflects our broader mission to deliver a connected digital ecosystem that supports smarter ship management. It gives our clients new flexibility to build a setup that meets their operational and compliance priorities — whether enhancing an existing CFM or ISF WK environment, or adopting both systems together. By simplifying workflows and improving data consistency, the integration helps operators manage risk more effectively, streamline compliance processes, and free up time to focus on core operations. ## See the benefits in action From reduced admin to improved audit readiness — see what the integration can do for your operations.

The integration of our web-based systems significantly eases crew trainings and certificate management by streamlining processes and automating exchange of data. Seably is a marketplace for online maritime trainings where anyone can explore, take, or even teach a course. They offer a wide range of flag state-approved STCW courses, legislation typed trainings, introduction courses, reflective learning how-to courses, and customer demanded trainings. With new content added every month, from industry professionals, training centers, subcontractors, and insurance companies, offering the latest in maritime education. The goal of this partnership is to empower a faster, smarter, and more collaborative management of crew trainings. Since the trainings provided by Seably can conveniently be accessed both via web-browsers or through their native apps, seafarers can autonomously take care of their trainings and respective certificates, freeing up crew managers’ time. All data that is created this way will automatically be transferred to CFM where it is immediately available for further use. “Being open and easy to integrate with is an essential part of Seably's business. By teaming up with CFM we can onboard our joint customers quicker, allowing for automatic seafarer enrollment and training record synchronization. We're happy to have started with AdMare Ship Management and OljOla Shipping as our trial integration partners and look forward to implementing a full-scale roll-out with Peter Döhle and Erik Thun AB soon.” added David Svensson, CTO of Seably. --- # Blog: As 2022 draws to a close URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/as-2022-draws-to-a-close/ Published: 2022-12-22 Author: Maximilian Hagemann **As 2022 draws to a close, we look back at an exciting year and forward to a great 2023.** ### High confidence in the shipping industry Even though our industry is still recovering from the impact the covid pandemic had and while the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has brought up new challenges for global shipping, it is relieving to see that overall confidence in shipping still is high. According to professional service company BDO’s [“Shipping Confidence Survey”](https://www.bdo.co.uk/en-gb/insights/industries/shipping-and-transport/shipping-confidence-survey-report) from August, overall confidence is rated at 6,8/10 from a 7,2/10 in February which was an all-time high. We hope to see this ongoing trend of raising confidence levels in our industry continuing in the next year. ### Events are coming back After several years in which events were cancelled or delayed or could only take place online, we were very happy to be able to take part in several events once again in person. Next to our participation in Donsö Shipping Meet, Posidonia, Crew Connect Global and several Smart Maritime Network events, SMM Hamburg was a special highlight to us. ![Hanseaticsoft booth at SMM 2022](./as-2022-draws-to-a-close-1.jpg "Hanseaticsoft booth at SMM 2022") Being postponed from 2020 to 2021, ultimately being cancelled and finally taking place again this year, we were thrilled to once again present Cloud Fleet Manager to the public in our hometown. It was great seeing so many of our partners and clients but also many new prospects in person and we are looking forward to meeting you all again in 2023. ### LR Product Summit – Maritime’s digital future Following [LR’s recent acquisition of OneOcean](https://www.lr.org/en/latest-news/lloyds-register-acquires-oneocean-in-maritime-growth-strategy-drive/), this September we took part in the LR Product Summit. ![LR Product Summit](./as-2022-draws-to-a-close-2.jpg "LR Product Summit") Here we got to know our new colleagues from OneOcean, caught up with already familiar colleagues and friends from Lloyd's Register and i4 Insight and discussed the digital future of the maritime industry. Just after a short time and presentations of our different solutions, we identified huge potential for future collaboration. We have a lot of exciting new ideas and developments in store for you within the next months, so be sure to keep an eye on all our social media channels. ### A successful year Last but not least, we are thrilled about the continued success we were able to celebrate this year.

We thank all our great clients and partners and once again wish you, your family and loved ones a Merry Christmas, a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year! --- # Blog: The digital journey shipping companies are making to recover from the pandemic years URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/the-digital-journey-shipping-companies-are-making-to-recover-from-the-pandemic-years/ Published: 2022-12-12 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Hanseaticsoft, Maritime Software Shipping companies are focusing on the future and increasingly turning to digital technology to streamline operations, become more efficient and make cost savings. Whilst prior to the COVID-19 pandemic many had been slow to embrace digital technology, now companies recognise it can be a way to become more agile, adaptable and competitive. A report by Inmarsat last year highlighted that the pandemic was a “universal disruptor and catalyst for digital transformation” and the adoption of digital technology in the maritime sector will be three years ahead of previous estimates by the end of this year. The reasons for this is that, like all industries when the pandemic struck, shipping companies needed to find new ways of working as lockdowns, remote working and people stuck on ships for months on end changed how they worked. Those that had already adopted cloud based digital solutions found that they could pretty much carry on as usual as they had data and information stored in one place, which was accessible to everyone on land or sea from any device. As we move beyond the pandemic, many more companies are embarking on digital journeys to aid business recovery and seeking to automate many business processes to improve their operations. Many are turning to cloud technology solutions like our Cloud Fleet Manager system so all data can be accessed in real-time and in one central place. This means people no longer work in silos and can communicate and collaborate easily with colleagues wherever they are located. As data is centralised in the cloud, important information such as maritime instructions, crew schedules and payroll data can be accessed by everyone involved, which speeds up communications and productivity. However, whilst the technology drive continues at pace, companies will be increasingly seeking more sophisticated outcomes, with demand for high quality data and analytics being paramount to the recovery. Digital technology is a simple way for them to get this. However, digitalisation doesn’t just happen overnight. Shipping executives often mistakenly think it’s a relatively easy process involving the movement of data from paper-based systems into digital formats that can be shared across the business, but this is just the first step. ### Extracting the ‘good data’ For companies to truly automate any process and access meaningful analytics and insights, they first need good quality data, which can be challenging for companies new to the digital environment. This is data that is consistent and high quality and in a format that can be extracted easily for reports and analytics. ![Accurate data offers companies the potential for automation and powerful analytics](./the-digital-journey-shipping-companies-are-making-to-recover-from-the-pandemic-years-1.jpg "Accurate data offers companies the potential for automation and powerful analytics") Once good quality data is captured shipping companies can gain insights into areas such as risk management, maintenance, purchasing or finance to support decision making and making future business predictions based on past events. However, whilst many have vast amounts of data, most of it is neither consistent nor accurate. Furthermore, even if companies have technology systems in place to capture data, not all employees obey the right processes all the time, leading to poor quality data that is inconsistent, incomplete and can’t be used for reporting. This can be seen in a simple request from a vessel to purchase essential items for the crew. A crew member might request the items in a digital order form correctly using a standardized catalogue, but at the last minute someone adds washing power to the list as a free text. Instead of following the same process, they write the words washing powder on the form, skewing the digital process, and making the data unreliable. To overcome this, they need to use ship management software that guides and forces them to input accurate and consistent data. This software is rule driven and demands that rules are followed every time, so that the data is precise and can be trusted to give a realistic picture. The stricter the processes for entering data, the better the resulting insights, analytics, and calculations will be. Whilst the process of inputting data may seem laborious, once a company has quality data, they can then automate their processes and reap the benefits for their business. For example, using our cloud-based management software if a company wants to make any purchases, they use a standardized digital form that is sent to suppliers, who use the same form to offer their products. This data is then used by the system to automatically show the best prices. It helps companies overhaul purchasing by automating the entire process and gaining real time visibility into their budgets and operating expenditure (OPEX). Having this reliable data also offers the option for more automation, e.g. linking purchasing and scheduling information to automate the delivery of goods to the next destination of the vessel. Maintenance work can also be automated using our maintenance software which gives real-time visibility of the entire fleet and enables managers to keep track of maintenance work centrally, precisely and according to requirements and priorities. This includes a cash flow planning tool, so managers can make accurate statements about the distribution of jobs as well respective costs and how employees will be utilised for each job. They can plan maintenance tasks over the year and make budget predictions based on what work may need to be done in the future. Another example is our crew management software. Once a seafarer’s personal data is entered correctly, they can then go into the system to add their hours and expenses. This automates payroll and the money goes straight into their banks. By automating such processes companies save significant time and money on administration. It provides reliable data that can easily be compiled into reports or for analytics to help managers make predictions about future expenditure and take actions where needed. ### To conclude Trusted and consistent data is at the heart of the digital journey and reaping the benefits of automation. Becoming digital mature takes time and it cannot be achieved without the cleaning up of data fist. Miss out this vital step and its harder to realise the benefits of digitalisation. Get it right and companies can use their data to make informed business decisions and predictions on all aspects of ship management, from purchasing and budgets to staffing needs and vessel maintenance. Having clear, quality data that gives insight over processes is key to business recovery and future success. --- # Blog: Hanseaticsoft at Smart Maritime Network Singapore, November 30 URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/hanseaticsoft-at-smart-maritime-network-singapore-november-30/ Published: 2022-11-06 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Event, Fleet Management, Trade Fair ### Maritime’s Connected Future – Digitalisation Driving a Sustainable and Integrated Industry The very nature of how the maritime industry conducts itself has been gradually evolving - sometimes so slowly it is almost imperceptible, while sometimes it seems that sweeping changes have happened almost overnight. Digital adoption has taken a quantum leap at both the company and industry levels. We have reached a technology tipping point, and there is no going back. Technology and “digitalisation” have come to mean so much more and has infiltrated every part of the shipping business - from transit time to trade; from containers to customs, from insurers to investors, from senior manager to seafarer. The companies that are taking full advantage of this evolution are the ones able to embrace and marry operational developments with a commercial outlook. ### Drive digital transformation Digitalisation and automation naturally have a bigger part to play in easing all kinds of operations, including ship management. To help both employees in the office as well as crews in their daily operations at sea and to enable collaboration between office and fleet we have developed one of the most innovative solutions in the market, Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM). More than 40 different applications for the use in the office and at sea that are specially adapted to the requirements of the different departments of your company empower you to increase efficiency, lower operational costs and enhance productivity. Our team will be on hand to present our web-based solution for fleet management and discuss any questions you may have.

We are also planning to add French, Romanian, Dutch and other languages next year. Cloud Ship Manager, the on-board part of Cloud Fleet Manager, enables crews and masters at sea to manage a multitude of on-board operational and management processes while continuously exchanging information with the office. For instance, adding payroll information, working and rest hours in line with regulations and planning crew accommodation, as well as entering data relating to purchasing, maintenance, inspections, scheduling, and other procedures. As soon as the data is entered and synchronised it is automatically available in the office and can be accessed immediately by all relevant personnel. The software can also be used offline with data being synchronised with the office when the fleet next has an internet connection. This way, crews can always work productively even when there is no data connection available. ### Reflecting the multinational and diverse nature of the maritime industry Alexander Buchmann, Managing Director, Hanseaticsoft said, *“We recognise that shipping crews are made up of people from all over the world. By introducing multiple languages to reflect the multinational and diverse nature of the maritime shipping industry, we are making it even easier for crew to use our app. Being able to use the system in the language of choice not only increases ease of use, but simultaneously decreases the risk for errors – leading to higher quality of data.* *“The use of modern technologies and cloud computing is revolutionising how companies operate these days, simplifying daily tasks, reducing complexity and ultimately saving time and cutting costs. Now crew can use our app in the language of their choice which will further increase usability and speed up operations and data sharing between land and staff based at sea.”* --- # Blog: Hanseaticsoft at Smart Maritime Network Dubai, November 1st URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/hanseaticsoft-at-smart-maritime-network-dubai-november-1st/ Published: 2022-10-16 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Event, Fleet Management, Hanseaticsoft, Trade Fair Digitalisation is heralded as being the catalyst for the future of the maritime, transport and supply chain industries and there are many efforts underway to embrace transformation and stay ahead of the competition. All companies now accept that change is no longer optional, but there are still many questions over how, why, and what to prioritise within these efforts. Evidence shows that digitalisation can play a key role in helping companies become more operationally (cost) efficient; can it also assist companies in meeting significant sustainability targets? As customers call for increased transparency, predictability, and flexibility, what is the industry doing to answer this? ### Join us to discuss digital transformation in maritime Digitalisation can help us meet these standards – but how can the industry better embrace innovation and change. What developments and tools can we harness? How can we better use data to optimise operations and drive decision making? And where, what, when and how should we be investing in this digital future? What role do new entrants to the industry have and is it better to look out or to build within and what barriers must be overcome? And of course, we will take a deep look at why collaboration and standardisation in the wider industry is paramount to achieving these ambitions. All this and more will be covered during SMN Dubai – join us on November 1st to look ahead at smart shipping strategies and solutions of the future. --- # Blog: Hanseaticsoft at SMM Hamburg 2022 URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/hanseaticsoft-at-smm-hamburg-2022/ Published: 2022-08-07 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Event, Hanseaticsoft, Maritime Software ### The most innovative SMM ever **From September 6 – 9 we will be exhibiting at SMM – Hall B4.EG Stand 112** Digital transformation, as well as climate change and the maritime energy transition demand groundbreaking, implementable solutions – they all take center stage at the 30th SMM.

On top of which, the compression technology allows for fast data transfer, even with limited internet. This improves collaboration between ship and shore. We expect our partnership to bring technical departments efficiency, significantly enhanced data quality, and more proactive operations from day one." --- # Blog: Paving the road to automation URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/paving-the-road-to-automation/ Published: 2022-06-13 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Analysis, Hanseaticsoft, Hero, Maritime Software Everyone is talking about digitalisation in shipping, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged companies to embrace technology to facilitate new ways of working. A report by Inmarsat suggested the adoption of digital technology in the maritime sector will be three years ahead of previous estimates by the end of 2022. Factor in the fuel crisis, a volatile trading environment and rising costs, and it’s clear that shipping companies need solutions to improve their bottom line. Demand for automated processes, use of artificial intelligence (AI), money-saving efficiencies and better ship management processes has never been higher, and companies also want analytics and insights into their business to inform their decision-making. Digital technology can achieve these goals, however, it’s important to realise that digitalisation doesn’t just happen overnight. Shipping executives often mistakenly think it’s a relatively simple process involving the movement of data from paper-based systems into digital formats that can be shared across the business. However, this is just the start. For companies to truly automate any process and to get meaningful analytics that can provide insights to transform business they first need good data, and this is the first major challenge. ### Data is king By ‘good data’ we mean data that is consistent and high quality and in a format that can be extracted easily for reports and analytics. Once this kind of data can be captured shipping companies can gain insights into areas such as risk management, maintenance, purchasing or finance to support decision making or make future predictions based on past events. But for most companies, while they may have pots of data, most of it is neither consistent nor accurate, this often comes as a surprise to the management team, and the result is that these companies must take two steps back before going forward. Furthermore, even if companies have technology systems in place to capture data, not all employees obey the right processes all the time, leading to poor quality data that is inconsistent, incomplete and can’t be used for reporting. It’s easy to see how these mistakes creep in. Take a simple request from a vessel to purchase essential items for the crew. A crew member might request the items in a digital order form correctly using a standardized catalogue, but at the last minute, someone adds washing powder to the list as a free text. Instead of following the same process, they write the words washing powder on the form, skewing the digital process and making the data unreliable. To overcome such challenges, companies need to use ship management software that guides and forces them to input accurate and consistent data, software that is rule-driven and demands that rules are followed every time so that data is consistent and accurate. This is seen as quite an inconvenience for companies as it appears to take longer, but this process is the essential first step because, without it, automation simply isn’t possible. The stricter the processes for entering data the better the resulting insights, analytics and calculations will be. Once a company has good data, it can then automate its processes in a way that will be truly beneficial. For example, using our cloud-based management software if a company wants to make any purchases, they use a standardized digital form that is sent to suppliers, who use the same form to offer their products.

Automating such processes saves companies significant time and money on administration. It also provides reliable data that can easily be compiled into reports or for analytics to help managers make predictions about future expenditure and take actions where needed. ### Becoming digitally mature As more companies embrace digital solutions it’s vital they realise that the journey to becoming digitally mature takes time and cannot be achieved without the cleaning up of data at the start of the process. With trusted and consistent data, companies can then automate many processes and start to reap the benefits by accessing analytics and insights into their business that can inform business decisions and predictions on purchasing, budgets, staffing needs and even maintenance jobs. Knowing what they will need to pay for over the next year and having insight over processes, such as purchasing, and maintenance is key for ship managers to be able to steer the business with open eyes. --- # Blog: Hanseaticsoft at Posidonia 2022, June 6 - 10 URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/hanseaticsoft-at-posidonia-2022-june-6-10/ Published: 2022-05-15 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Data Management, Event, Hanseaticsoft, Trade Fair Posidonia, the international shipping exhibition held bi-yearly in Athens, has long been established as one of the major calendar events of the shipping industry, since the first time it took place in 1969.

To keep up with everything and to make sure that no relevant information goes unnoticed means that you must proactively check for updates all the time. Be this by checking your software, picking up the phone or writing follow-up emails. This all takes away valuable time that could be used for more important activities. We want to let our customers focus on their core tasks, without the need to constantly check if anything important happened. To make this possible, we implemented various options to notify users of Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM) about relevant activities in the system. ### Are you still checking your system or is the system telling you? Nothing is more frustrating than constantly having to check for information, especially if nothing new comes up. Thanks to CFM, this is a thing of the past. Customisable notifications let you take back control and focus on your work without the need to check if something has happened – the system will automatically let you know. To personalise your experience exactly to your needs we are offering three different ways to receive your notifications: - Directly in Cloud Fleet Manager, regardless of which module you are in. At the top right on the “Me” tile, you will see an indicator that there is news for you. - For times when you are not actively using the system, you can also receive your notifications via email – conveniently delivered directly to your inbox. - To keep you up to date even on the move you can also enable notifications in our mobile management app “CFM Go”. This way, you will receive a push notification on your smartphone if something comes up. Simply pick and choose the way you would prefer to get notified. (Of course, you can also select all different options.) ### Gain back time bit by bit Thanks to notifications you can not only be sure that you won’t miss any important information but are also able to gain back valuable time that would have been used looking for news. It may not seem a lot at first but coupled with a variety of additional smart features and core-functionality of Cloud Fleet Manager, you will gain back valuable time. By centrally providing information for all involved parties regardless of time or location and by removing the need to write emails or ask colleagues for data, Cloud Fleet Manager makes sure that you can focus on what’s essential. --- # Blog: Third certification for our Maintenance module URL: https://cloudfleetmanager.com/blog/third-certification-for-our-maintenance-module/ Published: 2022-01-26 Author: Maximilian Hagemann Tags: Fleet Management, Hanseaticsoft, Maintenance, Maritime Software To reliably navigate through the current economic situation and post Covid-19, it is vital for companies to choose technology solutions they trust.

Setting up your own instance takes only two days, afterwards you can already start working with the system. Since no installation is necessary, all employees can immediately log into the system via the browser. If you provide us with a list of IMO numbers of your fleet and a list of employees in advance, we enter this data for you so that you are immediately able to work productively. ## Can existing data from legacy systems be initially imported to Cloud Fleet Manager? Absolutely! We established a dedicated team of data specialists to make sure that you don’t have to worry about transferring your data. We take care of the complete import while making sure that you don’t lose any information, or the integrity of your data gets jeopardised. Our professionals have a proven track record of importing data from various maritime management systems and can import any information in a fully automated way. In the past, we have already successfully imported databases of AMOS, Sertica, DNV (GL) ShipManager, Omega, CrewStar, CrewInspector, MaintStar, StarIPS, InfoSHIP, Bluefleet, Kodi and SmartPMS. The system you are using is not listed? No worries, thanks to our dedicated team of data specialists, we can import any kind of data. ## How is the pricing of Cloud Fleet Manager structured? One of the key benefits of Cloud Fleet Manager is that we offer it as a SaaS solution. This means that there is no up-front fee, and you only pay for the modules that you ordered. This way you can simply adjust the services or features on demand when you need them. For instance, we bill on a monthly basis. You sold one of your vessels? Simply delete it from the system and your costs for the next month decrease. Added two vessels to your fleet? Just activate the modules needed in the system and you are good to go. You always have full control over your expenses – no need to worry about over- or under-provisioning of licences. You always only pay for what you really use. ## Do we have worldwide access? Since Cloud Fleet Manager is completely cloud- and web-based, you can access the system regardless of time or location – all you need is a working web browser. ## Can 3rd party software be integrated? Yes, Cloud Fleet Manager offers a variety of powerful APIs to integrate information from existing systems. Let Cloud Fleet Manager continuously and automatically exchange data with other services and products you already use. Automation of data exchange eliminates manual transfer errors, and by compressing all information in a central place, you gain more visibility and a more solid view of your business. ## How are updates installed? Updates are automatically made available through the cloud. This means that you simply start your browser and use the latest version of Cloud Fleet Manager by default. ## Can I integrate my fleet into processes? Yes, you can with our on-board client Cloud Ship Manager (CSM). CSM is installed on your vessels and integrates your fleet directly into all processes by automatically exchanging data with Cloud Fleet Manager. Since the software is intuitively usable, your crews can simply capture data at sea and forward it to the office in a fully automated way. Since there is no guarantee for a constant internet connection, CSM is usable in offline-mode and data is synchronised with the next data connection. ## What needs to be installed in the office? Since Cloud Fleet Manager is web-based, you only need a web browser to start working, nothing else. Many of the available applications are now also optimised for tablets, this way you can also log into Cloud Fleet Manager comfortably from your sofa. --- # Success Story: More time for core tasks Customer: Maersk Supply Service Maersk Supply Service has been on a journey in efforts to simplify processes and increase efficiency.
