Digital purchasing system: the new way to manage maritime procurement

Managing procurement across a fleet can be time-consuming, fragmented, and prone to costly mistakes. A digital purchasing system is a reliable and efficient solution to handle your operations, from the initial requisition onboard and final invoice approval ashore to delivery of the requested components onboard. It simplifies workflows, strengthens supplier management, and helps you stay in control of your procurement spend fleet-wide.

This service gives your team full control over spare parts, consumables, and service orders while ensuring transparency, consistency, and cost efficiency across vessels and departments.
