i-ship
ship functions

i-Ship is  a comprehensive set of business applications for adept management of shipping functions such as crew management, planned maintenance management, accounting, budgeting, stores and purchase administration. Though wholly integrated, the extensible architecture allows shipping enterprises to take advantage of the benefits of component-based applications. This capability enhances the scope of upgrading and scaling as needs evolve.

i-Ship is designed to minimise costs, optimise resources, and scale up operations without disrupting current performance or building up additional operational costs, across functions and departments in the shipmanagement and shipping business. It is packed with unique features and combines sophistication with easy of use.

Shipboard and Workflow functionality underpin the entire system. The workflow is implemented in a classic windows style interface to conform to the clients company – not the other way around. Task Management becomes simplicity itself with tasks being routed to the responsible personnel through the email system.

FTM is currently implementing the i-ship onboard a fleet of 20 ships owned by a Japanese company and is designing the software in three languages – English. Japanese & Mandarin for ease of use of its varied crew and officers serving onboard its vessels.

On completion of its successful implementation FTM in partnership with the Japanese new building shipyard is planning to offer “i-ship” as standard equipment to ship owners for all new buildings. FTM is confident with the right positioning and marketing it will be a major player in the shipping software market especially in Japan and China.
