How it works

How an operational event becomes a financial record.

  1. 01

    Vessel berths

    Arrival, berth and bollards logged at the dock.

  2. 02

    Tariffs applied

    Wharfage, dockage and line handling calculated automatically.

  3. 03

    Invoice issued

    The agent is billed with no re-keying.

  4. 04

    Posted to the GL

    Revenue lands in NetSuite in real time.
