Key features
Everything you need to run a well-documented operation
The Ops Manual integrates tightly with your OffshoreSMS subscription - share content across your fleet, link procedures directly to your SMS, and keep everything in one platform.
Tagged image library
Upload photos of equipment, diagrams, and reference images. Tag them so crew can find the right image fast.
QR code generation
Generate a printable QR code for any procedure. Laminate it, stick it on the equipment, and your crew always has access.
Fleet content sharing
Build a procedure once and push it to every vessel in your fleet. Update centrally and all assets get the latest version.
Revision history
Every update is versioned and dated. Show exactly what version was active and when during an audit.
Access control
Choose what's public to all crew and what's restricted to specific roles. Sensitive operational information stays protected.
Powerful search
Search the entire manual by keyword, tag, or category - crew find what they need fast.
Who it's for
Designed for operations that run on procedure
If your operation has crew who need to follow consistent procedures - whether on one vessel or twenty - the Ops Manual gives you the infrastructure to make that happen.
Technical operators
Engineering-heavy operations with complex equipment benefit most - put the manual right next to the machine.
High crew turnover
When crew change regularly, a well-structured Ops Manual means new team members get up to speed faster.
Image-heavy procedures
Create highly visual procedures with images, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions for clarity and consistency.
