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 and swipe to indicate their presence.
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.
CrewBoard can be used on a mobile device or on a nominated device at a fixed location, for example, near to any exit on board or in the Crew Mess. Crew members can then sign in or out by simply swiping to indicate their presence.
Additional features can be added in the form of in-app purchases to extend the app’s functionality. These include User Plans to increase the number of users and Info Pages to provide location specific information whereby useful contact details for local authorities, medical and yacht services plus restaurants and nearby places of interest can be incorporated making the app a practical tool and resource for crew.

For each info page information such as local taxi numbers, restaurants, local authorities, medical and emergency services or local suppliers can be entered and saved. All information added remains private to the local CrewBoard, meaning the yacht can build its own database of locations and related information.
