This intuitive app enables supervisors to efficiently enter and access crucial data directly from the field. Key functionalities include:

  • Vessel Information: Supervisors can quickly log details about vessels currently docked at the port, including their names, sizes, and berth locations.
  • Maneuver Tracking: The app allows for real-time entry and monitoring of vessel maneuvers, providing a comprehensive view of maritime movements within the port.
  • Utility Consumption Recording: Supervisors can record the consumption of utilities such as electricity and water by each vessel. 

The mobile app is designed with the user in mind, featuring an easy-to-navigate interface that simplifies data entry and retrieval. By providing shore supervisors with the tools they need to manage port operations remotely, the app significantly enhances operational efficiency and accuracy.

Integrations


The integration capabilities of the software solution for the Port of Rijeka Authority are a testament to its versatility and comprehensiveness. Data generated and managed within the system is utilized across multiple platforms to ensure that information flow is seamless and efficient, catering to both operational needs and public information dissemination.

Public Information Displays: The software integrates with the port's arrival/departure screens located within the terminal, displaying current, live information about vessel movements to travelers. This feature enhances the travel experience by keeping passengers informed about the real-time status of maritime traffic.

Port Authority Website Integration: Further extending its utility, the system feeds live data to the Port of Rijeka Authority's website, showcasing detailed information about port occupancy. Visitors to the site can access up-to-the-minute details on vessel maneuvers, including names, types, lengths, and other relevant ship information. This transparency ensures that the public and potential port users are well-informed about port activities. The integration in action can be viewed here

Accounting Software Integration: Beyond public-facing features, the solution integrates with the Port Authority's accounting software, streamlining financial operations. It enables the creation of invoices for port maneuvers in real-time, facilitating accurate and timely billing. Moreover, a monthly automation feature generates bulk invoices for vessels that spend extended periods anchored in the port, simplifying the accounting process for both the Port Authority and maritime operators.

These integrations demonstrate the software's ability to not only improve port operations internally but also enhance the communication and service quality provided to external stakeholders and the general public.
