How it works

Crew requests. Captain approves. Supplier fulfills.

One clean chain of accountability — from a crew member's quick requisition to invoice-ready line items on the supplier's order desk.

The three-role flow

Supplier sets up → Captain orders → Crew requests

  1. 1

    Supplier

    The SaaS-paying distributor.

    Supplier sets up

    A supplier stands up their branded portal, loads one catalog as the single source of truth, and invites the fleets they serve.

    • Publish catalog & pricing
    • Provision branded subdomain
    • Invite fleets by code
  2. 2

    Captain

    The authenticated order-submitter.

    Captain orders

    The captain browses the supplier's live catalog, builds or one-click reorders, approves crew requests, and submits an invoice-ready requisition.

    • Browse & build order
    • Approve crew requests
    • Submit requisition
  3. 3

    Crew

    The PIN-based requester.

    Crew requests

    Crew use an 8-digit PIN on a shared bridge tablet to add items to a wish-list — no personal email — which the captain reviews before anything is ordered.

    • Sign in with 8-digit PIN
    • Add items to request
    • Wait for captain approval

From requisition to invoice

Follow one order across the whole chain

  1. 1

    A supplier publishes its live catalog and invites a fleet with a code.

  2. 2

    Crew on a shared bridge tablet sign in with an 8-digit PIN and add items to a request.

  3. 3

    The captain reviews the request, trims or approves it, and submits an order.

  4. 4

    Price integrity is checked at submit so the requisition matches the catalog; duplicate-order protection guards against a flaky link double-submitting.

  5. 5

    The order lands in the supplier's fulfillment queue as invoice-ready line items.

  6. 6

    Order history is filed by vessel and shift for a clean audit trail.
