The challenges chartering people face every day and how ShipIntel helps solve them

An overload of unstructured data and manual tasks

Every day involves going through thousands of emails, searching for internal documents, fielding broker calls, and performing one-by-one voyage calculations. The result is diluted focus and missed opportunities.

CHALLENGE

Semi-automated workflows

ShipIntel is designed around familiar workflows and semi-automates tasks where possible, giving you more time to evaluate and make informed decisions. Semi-automated workflows with human-in-the-loop control.

SOLUTION

Frequent context switching across tools

Too many standalone tools (AIS data, email management, email parsing, voyage calculations, bunker prices, office software etc.) results in wasted time, higher licensing costs, and constant context switching. When tools don’t share the same definitions or data model your AI strategy suffers.

CHALLENGE

One seamless solution

ShipIntel offers processed AIS data, email management, email parsing, pre-voyage calculations, bunker planning, and carbon emission calculation, seamlessly integrated in one solution. It can also be integrated with Microsoft 365, and works out of the box with no hidden costs or need for IT configurations.

SOLUTION

Lower productivity

Manual overload and constant context switching creates stress and fear of missing out — so employees spend only one-third of their day on the work they were hired to do.

CHALLENGE

Increased productivity with AI

AI needs data to thrive but when data is trapped in silos, insight suffers. ShipIntel is a fully integrated system and breaks down these barriers, enabling context-rich analysis and smarter outputs.  

SOLUTION

Semi-automated workflows with human-in-the-loop control

ShipIntel is designed around familiar workflows and helps you automate tasks where possible, giving you more time to evaluate and make informed decisions.

We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. We added more features because we gained access to high-quality AIS data, smart AI searches, and a very user-friendly software at an affordable price. There are too many stand alone softwares, and we have started looking for a kind of all in one software that gives us what we need at an affordable price.

We chose ShipIntel because it is an innovative solution, easy to use, and comes with a very competitive price. We continued using ShipIntel because the Maritime Optima team continuously develop and maintain the software. We also think it is an advantage that maritime software is developed by people that have been working in the industry. So the easy to use, relevancy, high AIS quality and price makes ShipIntel a unique maritime software box.
