Digitally storing c/p details

Jan 30 2015


Charterparty administration service, CP-Desk, part of the Marcura Group, has launched the patented CP-Vault platform.

CP-Vault offers brokers and charterers an online solution that digitally captures charterparty documentation and information for contract management.

Critical charterparty documentation storage, retrieval and tracking has always been an issue. It remains a disorganised and manually intensive process with no automated file storing solutions available that are customised for charterparty administration, the company claimed.

CP-Vault aims at streamlining this process through a solution that digitises paper-based charterparties, then organises and stores them in a secure online repository for easy and timely document retrieval.

Charterparty data is hosted at an ISO-certified and SSAE-audited EU-based facility that delivers document handling and hosting services. Accessible from anywhere, this platform delivers multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and secure management of the business documents. 

CP-Vault offers these additional key features and benefits:

*Dashboard for easy and quick overview – on PC, Mac or mobile.

*Reduced search time with all charterparties in one digital space.

*Intuitive version control, version history, updates tab and email notifications.

*Drag-and-drop functionality and drop-down menus for quick upload/download.

*Track status from start to finish.

*Retrieve and share across organisation, or externally.

*No restrictions on file sizes, or file types.

Capt Errol Gonsalves, CP-Desk managing director, said: “We developed CP-Vault based on customer input and we have beta tested the solution with several key brokers and charterers already, with excellent results. CP-Desk is proud to offer this targeted solution that will both help our global customer base streamline these complex, time consuming processes and enable us to strengthen our position as a premier provider of charterparty administration services.”

A free trial is available for historic charterparties, or for new and upcoming ones. This can be accessed at www.cp-desk.com.
