(04)
01

Demand

Keep the vessel and reason attached to every request.

Manual demand and low-stock draft requisitions can be reviewed together, consolidated where appropriate and split back to the exact vessel on award.

  • Manual and low-stock demand
  • Cross-vessel consolidation
  • Duplicate-in-flight prevention
02

Source and award

Compare like with like before committing.

Issue RFQs, capture line-level responses, compare quotes and create vessel-specific purchase orders with an approval trail.

  • Supplier list and invitations
  • Line-level quote comparison
  • Purchase-order approval ladder
03

Deliver and receive

Follow the order beyond approval.

Supplier acknowledgement, shipment milestones, customs, freight allocation and goods receipt keep the physical movement connected to the order.

  • Multi-order shipments
  • Delivery milestones
  • Goods-received notes
04

Match and collaborate

Give suppliers a controlled route into the workflow.

The online Supplier Portal supports quote responses, order acknowledgement, delivery updates and invoice submission without exposing competitor information.

  • Owner-specific registration and approval
  • Supplier’s own orders and invoices
  • Three-way matching evidence
