The maritime industry has been promised “transformation” for over a decade. Most of it was never delivered. Seaber, the European software company behind a smarter way to schedule bulk and tanker shipping, is done waiting.
Today, Seaber is launching the new entry-level program, a sharp, fast-moving initiative designed to cut through resistance and bring real, usable technology into the hands of chartering and operations teams that are tired of being sold vaporware.
Change is scary. New technology is risky. Digital transformation is inevitable. Seaber’s new program is designed to bring shipping companies and industrial charterers on this journey in a simple and easy way.
“We know what you’re thinking: Not another system, not another trial, not another ‘innovation’ pitch,” said Jean-Guy Faubert, Chief Revenue Officer at Seaber. “But this is different. This is short. It’s focused. It’s simple, and it will actually make your daily work easier.”
Seaber’s brand promise is to be authentic and transparent. So no smoke, no mirrors, no snake oil. Here’s what we offer.
-
Seaber’s entry-level program, no filters
-
Entry-level pricing. Not a lure to attract customers at the onset.
-
Voyage scheduling platform, ready in 4 to 6 weeks due to a repeatable and proven go-live methodology.
-
Scoped onboarding with clear KPIs, success criteria that the customer authors, and we deliver together.
-
There will be no contract mess, no long-term lock-in, and no scope creep.
-
Customers can upgrade when they see the value.
-
Early adopters get visibility, support, and a role in shaping what comes next.
The program offers:
-
Software with simplified UI and workflow based on feedback from shipowners and charterers.
-
Standardized setup and implementation that improve time to value - customers can get up and running in weeks without the heavy lift.
Integrated with the customer’s specific existing software to ensure a fluid user experience with no double-entry of data.
“This is not software-as-usual. It’s results-oriented, human-assisted technology. The goal isn’t to automate people out of the loop, it’s to give commercial teams better visibility, faster answers, and a stronger hand in every decision,” Jean-Guy continues.
Tangible benefits include:
-
3-5% improved fleet/asset utilization and reduction in spend/costs
-
Drive improvements across the business through integrated, next-gen tools
-
Optimized for the customer’s unique set of KPIs
-
8 hours saved per week
-
Business agility - Customers can respond to market changes quicker
-
Decision support at the fingertips makes planners more competitive and faster
-
Built for commercial teams who are fed up with Excel
The program is designed for maritime professionals who have had enough of Excel, bloated platforms, and lengthy implementation delays. It’s already underway with a few smart users, and it’s moving fast.
Shipping moves the world, but the systems behind it haven’t moved in years. Most planning still happens on spreadsheets, stitched-together tools, or high-cost platforms that overpromise and underdeliver. Seaber is the practical, lightweight alternative.
