{mprestriction ids="1,2"} A further 352 vessels are now using the company’s web-bases software suite, Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM), that enables companies to streamline business and management processes to achieve greater efficiencies and profitability. In total over 1,500 vessels around the world are now managed using CFM.

Hanseaticsoft has also celebrated 10 years in business and in mid-2018 opened an office in Singapore, which marks its first office in Asia.

“We’re delighted to be finishing our tenth year by announcing a considerable increase in our client numbers, including success in Asia which is one of our key focuses going forward,” said Alexander Buchmann, managing director of Hanseaticsoft.

“We started as a small software company in Hamburg and have evolved into an established global provider of cloud-based software for the maritime industry with three overseas offices and over 60 employees. The shipping industry has also evolved during this period and is increasingly recognising the benefits of digitalisation. 

“More companies now have access to the internet at sea, which means they can take advantage of cloud-based solutions and mobile apps on board that are transforming how they operate. We’re looking forward to our next ten years and leading the way with our pioneering software solutions.”

The purpose of Cloud Fleet Manager is to improve collaboration between teams on shore and at sea and creating a connected workplace culture that supports strategic business goals. Hanseaticsoft says that 25 per cent of daily working time can be saved by using Cloud Fleet Manager which would be otherwise wasted requesting, looking for and validating data.

The company is currently working on a new module for 2020 to facilitate the administration and structuring of fleet data. A new mobile app called Crew Portal will also be launched next year. Using the new app seafarers will be able to autonomously access and manage their documents, giving them full transparency of their data and enhancing independence.  {/mprestriction}
