Reverting back to Mendes he mentions, “We’ve developed a number of options for management companies and these are once again about having everything in a central portal, everything available under one system in real time.” Echoing earlier comments he continues, “Building trust and having transparency with the owner is paramount and these systems bring just that.”
Data management and data flow are vital for the engineers
and being able to place all the required safety and engineering information into an intuitive system is fundamental to the smooth running of the yacht.
but everyone is looking to get more structure within their daily operational life.” He continues, “If we’re talking new build, then we talk to the owner’s representative and project managers. Ideally this happens at the start of the
project.However, in reality, this is often at the later stages and they’re looking for support to populate the various systems before delivery - bringing everything in to a clear and cohesive database that gives all the necessary parties real time access to the fundamentals of the project. But sometimes there’s ‘no one shoe fits all’, there are big differences between production yachts and full custom, this is when we offer further assistance and bespoke database work.”
Seazone’s CEO Yulia Froiman tell us about her client’s top priorities, “We have found that more and more captains want to show the owners full transparency and for them this relates to job security and trust. Along the same lines, management teams need to have accurate information in real time to relay to the owner. And owners, especially the younger breed entering the market, well, they want to know that their asset is managed in the best possible way.”
One interesting point and perhaps one we shouldn’t be surprised about Yulia explains, “Hardly any of the crew are sat behind a computer and we’ve found that 87% of our users manage everything from their phones. If it’s complicated - no one will use it.”
With the enormous amount of data these systems can control, we asked which is the most common department looking for a solution and help?
As yachts get larger so do the needs for the heads of departments to have a more ‘real time’ view of their designated zones. So for Total Superyacht it’s the bridge and interior, David Clarke tell us about their new Watchkeeps app, “The more crew a yacht has, the more logistically challenging it becomes to keep track of everything: who is on or off the yacht at a given time, who is rostered on watch, who’s on rotation, is it 2:2, 4:2 or 2:1 and there is the guests, who’s onboard or who is out on the water, the list goes on. It took some brainstorming, but our team understands the importance of yacht-specific solutions
