As a core backbone for their vision to be the leading provider of technology-driven maritime solutions and transform customers experience the Wallem Group has chosen BASSnet™ Fleet Management Systems.
BASS is pleased that Wallem has selected the complete suite of integrated software to manage their entire fleet of more than 180 ships.
The signing of Wallem marks a key milestone for BASS, signalling a wider move to complete enterprise solutions in the maritime industry as a means to effectively standardise ship processes.
Wallem has chosen to use BASSnet™ as a total solution for maintenance, safety, operational and financial management, among others, on a fleet-wide basis. The integrated nature, superior functionality and clear technological strategy of BASSnet™ were of pivotal importance in Wallem’s decision to sign with BASS.
Frank Coles, CEO of Wallem Group said: “Having run several maritime software companies and considering the complexities of operations, compliance and the regulatory environment, I was keen to not reinvent the wheel.
“We have chosen to install a Cloud-based COTS solution, without customisation. Exactly how digitalisation is supposed to be done. We are going to defy the myth that ship operations and management needs to be different, or somehow special. It does not need all the disparate or heavily customised homegrown systems. This is the stuff of myths created by a lack of understanding or appreciation and old fashioned operational techniques.
“In my view, offering transparency, analytics and business intelligence is the way forward for high-performance fleet management, and implementing a complete enterprise solution from BASSnet™ will allow us to integrate the power of big data with our business processes.”
BASS CEO and managing director Per Steinar Upsaker noted: “BASSnet™ Fleet Management Systems is a complete solution that removes the reliance on multiple vendors for piecemeal software.
“We have prioritised a well-thought-out strategy that is forward-looking, comprehensive and puts BASSnet™ in a unique position. This includes the incredible convenience and security of managing an entire fleet using a single database on a state of the art platform.
“BASSnet’s modular features are augmented by progressive and responsive web applications and mobile apps, and we have made data collection and analysis a priority, providing an invaluable bird’s eye view of fleet performance and areas for improvement. Data-driven systems mean higher transparency and visibility. This makes BASSnet™ the ideal one-stop solution to streamline and increase fleet efficiency, asset management, and safety.”
