ReportMate

Naval transit these days involves a series of complex elements, making it a quite challenging endeavor, especially if dealing with large, commercial ships. In addition to the aspects that pertain specifically to navigations, there are legal aspects, when crossing borders and territorial waters.

Such specific instances require special techniques and procedures that involve papers and documents that carry dedicated formats and characteristics. ReportMate, just as its name implies, is an application that was designed specifically in order to open and read the EDI files that correspond to reports submitted with regard to container ships.

The app’s main working principle relies on a series of menus that offer its different features, which pertain mostly to documents in pre-defined formats. In addition to being able to preview the said documents, users also have the option of exporting them to Excel.

That being said, no options for editing the opened data are present, and there is no way of adjusting the way which the information is previewed. Although this might not be such a major gripe, it would have been nice to be able to tamper with the visualizer.

Each menu offers access to a very detailed set of reports, and in addition to being able to export the previewed data to Excel, users will also be able to search individual entries, as the app fortunately comes equipped with a search function.

Lastly, the fact that you will even be able to preview ship schematics, is a good addition to the already existent pack.

If you require a specialized tool for previewing and exporting papers or documentation that pertains to naval procedures for cargo ships, then this app could be the right choice for you.
