# About Navatom — Maritime Software Company
Learn about Navatom — the maritime software company behind 40+ cloud modules for vessel management, planned maintenance & safety.

## What is Navatom?

The simplest way to engage your fleet. Navatom is a cloud ship management platform built and operated by Hive IT and Software Joint Stock Company.

## 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 platform scales automatically according to user needs and load.

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.

## 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.
- **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.
- **By Vessel Type** — Base tier features required for any maritime vessel are available readily. Depending on vessel type, more advanced features can be activated on the fly.

## 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 data lives in its own isolated database, stored encrypted and encrypted in transit. 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.
