IMS Paper-based integrated management systems can be a nightmare to update and monitor for workboats. We developed the IMS module to handle this burden, it allows your company management system to be stored digitally. Individual sections can be updated from the office and notifications can be sent out to the relevant Crew. We then log who has read the documents and who still needs to.
