What this rest hours software solves

Many teams search for phrases like resthour program, rest hours software or work and rest hours software, but the underlying problem is the same: too much manual work, too much compliance risk and too little clarity onboard and ashore.

Less spreadsheet work

Work and rest hours are recorded directly in the application instead of scattered spreadsheets and email chains.

Faster compliance visibility

You can see faster when a schedule is moving toward a violation and which crew members need attention.

Usable at sea and ashore

The same core workflow works for crews onboard and for operators or superintendents ashore.
