As mariners and project managers, we've seen firsthand why some technology projects fail. It's rarely about the software; it's almost always about the implementation plan and the people. Our entire approach is designed to mitigate risk and build confidence from day one.
We replace the uncertainty of a major IT project with a transparent, proven methodology. You will have a clear project plan, regular progress updates, and a dedicated project manager who is always accountable. No surprises.
Our goal is not simply to "install software." Our goal is to ensure you achieve the business outcomes you're looking for—whether that's reduced costs, improved compliance, or greater efficiency. Your success is the only metric we care about.
We have refined our maritime project management process over dozens of successful fleet implementations. Our methodology is broken down into four clear, manageable phases.
We begin by listening. Our project team works with your key stakeholders to understand your current processes, challenges, and specific goals. Together, we define the project scope, timelines, and key performance indicators (KPIs) for success. This ensures perfect alignment and a project that stays on track.
This is where our technical expertise shines. We manage the secure extraction, cleansing, and migration of your historical data from existing spreadsheets or legacy systems into PRIME Marine. Simultaneously, we configure the platform's modules, user roles, and workflows to match your unique operational needs.
This is the most critical phase for long-term success. We don't believe in generic, onesize-fits-all training. We provide role-specific training for your entire team—from the Master and Chief Engineer onboard to the superintendent, procurement officer, and DPA ashore. We focus on building confidence and showcasing how the system makes their specific job easier.
We are with you every step of the way during the transition. As your vessels go live on the system, our team provides "hypercare" support—an intensified level of assistance to handle any questions and ensure a smooth, stable launch. We monitor the system closely to guarantee a successful handover to our standard support team.
We understand the anxieties that come with a major project. Here is how we address them:
Our methodology is designed to minimize disruption. We use a phased rollout approach and schedule key activities like training and data validation in close consultation with your team to work around your operational tempo. Our project manager coordinates everything, allowing your team to remain focused on their primary duties.
Your data is a valuable asset. Our data migration specialists use a proven, secure process to ensure all your historical maintenance jobs, procurement records, and other key data are accurately transferred. We perform multiple validation checks with your team before the final import, guaranteeing data integrity.
User adoption is our primary measure of success. We achieve it in three ways: by configuring the software to be incredibly intuitive, by providing targeted, role-based training that focuses on benefits for the user, and by identifying "super-users" within your organization to act as internal champions for the new system.
Throughout the entire project, you will have a dedicated Project Manager from PRIME Marine. This individual, a professional with deep maritime and technical expertise, will be your single point of contact. They are responsible for the project's success and are your trusted partner for clear, consistent communication.
