About
What is Navatom? — Maritime Software Company
The simplest way to engage your fleet
Why Navatom
Core Principles
Real-Time
Every action in Navatom is visible by all users, everywhere in real-time.
Cloud-based
10+ years of experience in developing cloud solutions for maritime.
Ship Management
Rules and regulations are implemented within the products.
Platform
More than 40 modules are deeply integrated to form a complete platform.
Collaborative ship management
During routine operation, you and your crew input data through many platforms — software, worksheets, emails, messages, and even phone or direct conversation. When you need to analyze this data, you lose time gathering it for analysis.
Navatom is a real-time platform. It organically becomes the single point of truth for data, as the mediums mentioned above become redundant.
Reduce IT requirements and costs
Every hardware, software, and service you need to install to run your fleet management software is a risk factor. Each action a user takes within Navatom products is directly sent to and stored within the cloud.
Because work is recorded in Navatom as it happens, the data builds up day by day, not in end-of-month uploads. From your viewpoint, Navatom looks like a single website. In reality, multiple systems run in the background to create a secure and reliable platform that users can access through numerous gateways.
Implemented rules, regulations, and business logic
Navatom products aim to simplify ship management through automation and integrations. Each product's primary goal is to reduce your employees' and crew's data entry while increasing productivity and quality of data for analysis.
There is a high knowledge cost to managing ships — stemming from the increasing rules and regulations of the trade. Navatom products have validations and warnings to alert you and your crew when non-conformities to regulations occur.
Software as a service — access anywhere, anytime
Navatom is a multi-tenant platform built upon various modern cloud technologies. All these technologies allow you to access Navatom from any device, anywhere. The office and ship applications run in two data centres at once, and updates roll out one server at a time, without downtime.
Navatom is a software-as-a-service platform for ship management, delivering applications over the internet, as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software onboard your vessels or your company, you simply access it via the internet, freeing your company from complex software and hardware management.
Use Cases
Who uses Navatom?
Navatom is used by maritime management companies that regulate and improve the operations and safety of vessels that need to comply with international maritime rules and regulations.
By Fleet Size
Navatom is easy to implement on small fleets, easy to manage on mid-size fleets, and easy to migrate to for multi-location enterprise companies with large fleets. With varying degrees of support and onboarding assistance, Navatom makes life easy for ship managers.
By Needs
Whether you have a rapidly growing fleet, are transitioning to different vessel types, applying for TMSA, or transitioning from paper-based systems to digital solutions — Navatom has you covered.
By Vessel Type
Navatom supports 57 vessel types in 10 groups, from tankers, bulk carriers and container ships to ferries, offshore vessels, tugs and yachts. Every ship runs on the same modules, with its own equipment tree, crew and records.
Architecture
How does it work?
Most ship management software requires you to install a service at your headquarters or onboard your vessels. With this kind of legacy software, much of the trouble starts with the servers it runs on. Maintenance is complex given the global nature of the industry.
Navatom is a fully cloud-based software-as-a-service system: installation, maintenance, and upgrades are handled automatically by Navatom "as a service." All of your ships and employees connect directly to Navatom's enterprise-grade, reliable, and secure cloud architecture in real-time.
Benefits of SaaS and cloud
Always up to date
Multitenant architecture ensures all users always have the latest features, rules, and guides kept current in Navatom's cloud databases.
Better Access
All users access the same data from any networked device. No synchronization problems. All users are on the same version of the software.
Cost Savings
Remove hardware requirements from the stack entirely. No installation, upgrade, or IT maintenance costs at headquarters or onboard vessels.
Security
Navatom runs on established cloud hosting, and every customer's records live in a database of their own. Navatom's databases and file storage keep them encrypted, and every connection to Navatom is encrypted. Since all users are always on the latest version, they also use the latest security updates.
Mobility
Crew walk around with phones running Navatom. Superintendents do audits on tablets. Traveling employees and crew members on leave stay up to date.
Increased Collaboration
Multiple employees and crew can contribute to completing an operation, revising a procedure, or solving a problem simultaneously.
Disaster Recovery
Cloud-based services provide quick data recovery for all kinds of emergency scenarios, from natural disasters to power outages.
Loss Prevention
Point-in-time recovery and mirrored databases back each other up in case of failures. Your data remains safe and accessible from any internet-connected computer.
Our Story
Navatom started as an R&D project with a select few ship management companies. The initial aim was to increase communication between ship and shore on procedure implementation and issue solving.
The initial problem was data exchange. It is impossible to initiate fruitful dialogues where data exchange is delayed — and this was the most significant pain point of legacy ship management software then, and it still is now.
To solve this, Navatom built entirely separate and optimized cloud-based web applications for ship use. The ship products mirror the company products, but are easier to use and optimized to work with all types of Ship Satellite Communication Systems — from Iridium and Fleet Broadband to Thuraya.
At the core of Navatom is its ship planned maintenance system software, which enables fleet operators to schedule, track, and complete maintenance tasks in real-time across all vessels — without the delays and data loss of batch-syncing legacy systems.
Navatom is the ship management software that maritime companies trust to keep their fleets running safely. Read more about the vision behind the platform in our inaugural post, Welcome to Navatom.
