What is new and what is upgraded
This launch demonstrates exactly how the Smartflow platform handles complex, multi-party workflows. By digitizing critical safety inspections at the core and bringing related tasks into a single system, terminals eliminate communication gaps and get ships in and out faster.
The complete Ship-Shore Management System now includes:
- [NEW] Barge Reporting & Arrival: A major addition for inland shipping, managing complex digital reporting requirements across high-traffic hubs like the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region. Barges can create a profile and announce themselves prior to arrival, fully supporting ADN, VOW, and CDNI compliance.
- [NEW] Advanced Vessel Clearance: Automates the clearance workflow with Q88 data extraction and real-time vessel ban checks integrated with OpenSanctions. Terminals can also build their own internal vessel databases for custom blacklisting.
- [UPGRADED] Vessel Planning & Tracking: Easily manage your berth schedule and track live ship locations natively within the platform, utilizing the same planning features clients rely on daily.
- [UPGRADED] Full Digital ISGOTT & Custom Checklists: Run the standard Digital ISGOTT (Parts 1-9) processes, and easily utilize the platform's flexibility to build custom safety checklists for any vessel or barge.
A stepping stone to terminal-wide digitization
Solving the ship-shore interface is often just the starting point. Because operators already rely on Smartflow’s flexible inspection platform for critical safety checks at the berth, connecting these workflows to other daily tasks serves as a natural stepping stone to terminal-wide digitization.
For example, shift handovers fit perfectly into these existing workflows. Instead of operators switching to disjointed software or using paper logbooks at the end of the day, critical safety updates flow seamlessly to the next team within the exact same system.
