Total Superyacht
Veteran captain David Clarke launched Total Superyacht in 2015 after years of frustration with vessel management software designed by people who lacked any real longevity as crew. No one ofered automated workflow. This has remained a primary focus as the system has evolved. For example, the Crew Status automatically populates the Leave Calculator. Crew bank details auto-populate the Payroll module. Pay Slips are generated when Payroll is submitted. Engineering Monthly Reports are created from the previous month’s completed tasks and so on. The system, which covers all aspects of
compliance and allows the seamless real-time flow of information and documentation between the crew, yacht, DPA and yacht manager.

i-Bos
i-Bos has been in continual development of its Cello Marine system and along with releasing a new version, ‘Cello Marine 2’, i-Bos are excited to announce a new web-based solution to access data anywhere in the world, namely ‘Cello Plus’. Cello Plus operates concurrently with Cello Marine to ensure that items including the crew details, certifications, leave
scheduling and payroll are being managed in an efficient manner. Individual users can be granted the rights to remotely submit and approve leave requests, drastically reducing the time spent crew scheduling. Cello Plus is highly configurable and offers flexibility to ensure that the user may only access data pertaining to specific crew members from a specific department on a single yacht to entire crew rosters across a fleet. In addition, Cello Plus can restrict features to a small subset of users, such as payroll. Both systems can be hosted using existing infrastructure from a yacht, or externally depending on your needs.
