The software solution for maritime crew planning, management and payroll
Every sea voyage depends on the effectiveness, motivation and performance of the crew members. That makes it critical that the right people are chosen and when they are onboard the ship they are well managed and looked after.
OneOcean’s Crew Planning & Payroll module, part of Cloud Fleet Manager, is the software solution that turns this into a simplified digital workflow that delivers efficiency and effective communications with those onboard the vessel.
The all-in-one solution means you can:
- Find the right crew
- Bring them into your existing system
- Manage them efficiently
- Keep them well informed, and
- Ensure they are paid accurately.
Connecting everyone onboard and onshore
The platform connects on and offshore teams, streamlining the processing of onboard employee information, minimising communication efforts and enabling maritime planning and compliance. Direct integration across all departments simplifies the crew administration processes, and the tool even connects with third-party agencies to support recruitment of seafarers.
In one place, it becomes simple to prepare maritime payroll and handle crew management, administer travel expenses and monitor crew certification to ensure compliance with complex international, company-specific, or vessel-specific standards.
Via the OneOcean platform, you can manage personnel data, plan shifts and schedule crew changes. Detailed reports are tailored to meet specialist crewing requirements – like the officer’s matrix for tanker crewing and rest period documentation.
Designed to be simple and easy to use
Through one intuitive, connected platform, Crew Planning & Payroll gives you the relevant information to support crew management and ensure they’re always well informed.
