Marine Logistics Software Built for Complexity
Marine logistics operates across vessels, ports, cargo, crew, and customs — environments where generic logistics platforms fail. We build custom software around vessel servicing, port coordination, crew movement, and offshore project management. Fixed-fee pricing, and you own the code.
Why Marine Logistics Firms Struggle with Off-the-Shelf Software
Marine logistics is one of the most complex operational environments there is. Vessel servicing, port calls, cargo movement, crew coordination, customs clearance, offshore supply — none of this fits neatly into generic supply chain or logistics platforms.
Built for freight, not maritime operations
Platforms like SAP, Oracle, or CargoWise are designed for general freight and supply chain. They don't handle vessel-specific workflows like port agency, crew changes, bunkering, offshore supply coordination, or the real-time procurement that maritime projects demand.
Scattered tools and data silos
Operations run across Monday.com for projects, Dropbox for documents, Excel for costs, SharePoint for compliance, and email for everything else. Critical information lives in different places, and nobody has a full view of any job.
Cost leakage through manual processes
Emergency services, on-the-fly crew changes, and offshore supply costs slip through because there's no system to capture them at source. You deliver the service, but invoicing is manual, delayed, or incomplete.
Per-seat pricing that makes growth expensive
As your team grows, so does your software bill. Platforms charge per user, which means adding coordinators, port agents, or operations staff directly increases your monthly overhead.
How Custom Marine Logistics Software Solves This
We build software designed around the way marine logistics actually works. Vessel operations, crew coordination, cargo tracking, and cost capture — unified in one system you own.
Fixed pricing, owned software
One price, unlimited users, no monthly subscriptions eating into your margins. You own the code, and scaling your team doesn't increase your software cost.
Built around maritime operations
We learn how you service vessels, coordinate port calls, manage crew changes, and track offshore supply. The software we build matches your workflow, not a generic freight model.
Fast delivery with maritime expertise
Working prototype in 5-7 days. Production-ready software in 7-10 weeks. We've built marine logistics systems before, so we understand the domain.
Real-time cost capture and invoicing
Emergency services, crew changes, offshore supply costs — captured at source with markup automatically applied to client invoices. No more commercial leakage.
How We Work
Every marine logistics project follows the same process: understand your operations, prototype in days, build and refine over weeks, and hand over the code.
Discovery call
We learn your business: vessel types you service, port operations, crew coordination workflows, cargo tracking needs, and where costs slip through. This isn't a sales pitch — we're mapping your operation.
Working prototype in days
We build a working prototype of your core workflow. You click through it, give feedback, and we refine. No mockups, no slide decks — real software that handles vessel operations.
Build and iterate (7-10 weeks)
We build the full system, ship updates regularly, and iterate based on your feedback. You see progress in real time as we add crew coordination, cost tracking, and integrations.
Go live and handover
We deploy the software, train your team, and hand over the code. You own it — no vendor lock-in, no ongoing license fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom marine logistics software cost?
Most marine logistics software projects are priced as a fixed fee based on scope. A typical system handling vessel operations, crew coordination, cargo tracking, and cost capture is significantly less expensive over 2-3 years than per-seat platforms like SAP or Oracle. You own the software, so there are no recurring license costs or per-user fees.
How long does it take to build?
We deliver a working prototype in 5-7 days. The full system typically takes 7-10 weeks from prototype approval to go-live. This is faster than most enterprise implementations because we focus on your core maritime workflow first and iterate from there.
What kind of marine logistics software can you build?
We build systems for ship agents, port services, offshore supply coordinators, and marine project managers. Features include vessel tracking, port call management, crew coordination, immigration clearance tracking, cargo movement, real-time procurement, automated cost capture and invoicing, and integrations with accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You own 100% of the code, the database, and the deployment. No vendor lock-in, no license fees. You can host it yourself, hire another developer to extend it, or keep working with us — your choice.
Can you integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Most marine logistics firms need integrations with Xero or QuickBooks for accounting, vessel tracking APIs, port authority systems, or platforms like Procore when working with offshore construction. We build integrations as part of the project, not as expensive add-ons.
Is custom software better than SAP or CargoWise?
It depends. If you're a large shipping line or freight forwarder with 200+ employees, enterprise platforms make sense. But if you're a 5-50 person ship agency or marine logistics firm, custom software fits your maritime operations better and costs less over time. No per-seat fees means your software cost doesn't grow as you hire more port agents or coordinators.
What if we need changes after the software is built?
You own the code, so you can hire any developer to make changes. Many marine logistics clients choose to keep working with us for updates and new features — we offer ongoing support starting at €1,500/month, but it's optional.
