This app was designed to bring the key functionality from IDEA Yacht onto your mobile device, to have it available everywhere and every time. IDEA’s management solution for luxury yachts, IDEA Yacht, is entirely web-based and keeps you in full control of your equipment and all related maintenance and procurement duties. Not only is the user interface self-explanatory and easy to use, but our solution also provides the full functionality of a modern Asset Management system, such as reduced equipment breakdowns and overall costs, optimum stock control of expensive spare parts, rapid access to critical technical information and workflow-enabled procurement, including approvals. For offline scenarios, you can use the iOS based maintenance App that allows you to register all maintenance work activities on a smart device, even without a network connection. You can install IDEA Yacht offline or on board a yacht without the necessity for an online connection. The Quality and Safety module provides you with improved access to safety information, helps you prepare for audits and inspections and comply with ISM regulations. For managers of yacht fleets, we offer a Fleet Management Dashboard that will assist you in complying with regulatory requirements, as well as provide you with a collection of web-based vessel management reporting forms. This app will be able to synchronize the data with your existing IDEA Yacht installation (IDEA Yacht 2019.3 or newer is required).
