New · SeaProc ShipApp 2

Requisitions from on board, straight to your purchasing team.

ShipApp runs on one PC on the vessel. The crew use it from any browser on the ship's network, on a PC, tablet or phone, to raise and approve requisitions, follow RFQs and orders, message the office and record deliveries. It works offline and syncs in kilobytes.

ShipApp home screen on the ship's PC: requisitions waiting for approval, requisitions at the office and a new message from the office. A requisition on a phone, with Approve and Return for changes buttons.
On board

Everything the crew needs to order, on any device on board.

Requisitions in minutes

Type the lines, paste them from Excel (part no., description, quantity and unit are recognised by their column names) or pick them from the ship's parts catalogue.

Approval on board

The crew write drafts; the Master or Chief Engineer approves them or returns them for changes, from the PC or a phone. Approved requisitions go to the office with the next sync.

Line-by-line progress

Every line shows where it stands at the office: on an RFQ, quoted, or on a purchase order accepted by the supplier.

Messages and files with the office

Questions, nameplate photos and documents travel with the requisition they concern. Photos are shrunk on the device before they are sent.

Receive goods

Record what actually arrived on board. The office gets the delivered quantities with the next sync, and the requisition can close itself when everything is in.

Works offline

Everything is kept on the ship's PC, with a daily backup. Tablets and phones hold no data, and the crew keep working when the link is down.

Built for the way requisitions are made at sea.

Paste lines from Excel: part numbers, descriptions, quantities and units pasted into a new requisition.
Paste from Excel. A list from the maker's manual or the stores sheet becomes requisition lines in one step.
A requisition with each line's RFQ or purchase order status from the office.
Follow every line. RFQ and PO status from the office, next to what the crew asked for.
Receive goods: the crew enter the quantity that arrived for each ordered line.
Receive goods. Enter what arrived; the office sees the quantities with the next sync.
Made for satellite links

Sends only what changed. Compressed, signed and resumable.

ShipApp checks the office every six hours, and shortly after something is approved, received or written. A monthly data budget can pause automatic checks, and every exchange is listed with its exact size.

Sync and data screen: connection status, what is waiting to be sent, data used this month and the size of every recent sync.
~0.6 KBA check with nothing new

Each way. HTTPS adds a few KB per connection.

~0.9 KBA two-line requisition

Sent to the office once it is approved.

~43 KBReference data, once

Ports, units and part types, on the first sync after connecting.

Connection

Whatever link the ship has.

Internet (HTTPS)

VSAT, Starlink or 4G in port. The default: ShipApp syncs on its own schedule and after every approval or receipt.

E-mail

When the ship only has an e-mail service, ShipApp exchanges small signed files through the ship's mailbox.

File

No link at all: create a sync file, send it by any means (USB stick or e-mail client) and import the reply.
