IDEA-SBA provides a fully scalable management solution, enabling anything from a single vessel to a large fleet to be effectively managed. Critical data on the content and daily operations of the fleet can be maintained and accessed centrally, whether it be information on inventory and spares, staff, maintenance or costs.

Mobile Application

Being bound to an on-line computer system has significant limitations when the user is offshore without access to a wireless network.
