Sign crew in and out of the yacht with the CrewBoard app. It provides quick, easy, secure and mobile access to an overview of which personnel are on board. This is the digital age equivalent to the onboard white board. Simply add crew members. CrewBoard is designed to be as simple and reliable as the original white board has been for all those years but in a format that is more in line with today’s technology and needs of crew. With its graphically appealing interface and intuitive management system, adding new crew members, groups, subcontractors and day workers and accessing advanced features is simple and self explanatory. Full user profiles including names and job titles can be added and amended quickly and easily whilst profile photos can be selected from existing albums and libraries or taken directly via the device’s in-built camera and uploaded.
