1. IDEA YACHT: Unified Markdown Editing Across Workflows
A new Markdown/WYSIWYG editor has been rolled out across Maintenance, SOP, and Task Approval workflows, providing a more consistent way to capture and manage operational data. Content entered in Web is now correctly synchronised across Mobile and reports, improving clarity and reducing formatting inconsistencies.
2. IDEA YACHT Mobile: Flexible Multi-Instance Workflows
The mobile app now supports multiple paired IDEA YACHT instances, allowing users to switch seamlessly between environments.
This is particularly valuable for:
- Rotational crew working across multiple vessels
- Management teams overseeing several yachts simultaneously
- Active shipyard periods, where crews and project teams need access to multiple systems during refit or build phases
Alongside this, improvements to synchronisation, performance, and data integrity deliver a more stable and responsive mobile experience in real-world operational scenarios.
3. IDEA FLEET: New Navigation and Vessel Insights
IDEA FLEET introduces a redesigned navigation structure with nested menus, improving usability across complex fleet environments.
New Vessel KPIs provide clearer visibility into maintenance status, work orders, and operational activity across vessels, enabling faster decision-making and more consistent oversight.
