- Matt Hyde, of Seahub
Seahub’s achievements at this year’s event comes on the back of a successful year working largely with US and European based superyachts. Seahub has evolved significantly in 2019 thanks largely to a collaborative approach to development which encourages users to share feedback with the company. “It’s a model we have adopted from day 1. There are no better people to judge the system then those who are using the system daily under all sorts of conditions” says Sam Wheaton, Commercial Director of Seahub.

As the number of vessels using Seahub increased throughout the year, a common theme was appearing in user behaviour. The preference of using mobile devices to access vessel related information, whether that be required maintenance or documentation, was becoming profound. The Newcastle based development team, together with a handful of long time international users of the system were engaged to design a mobile application version of the cloud based system. “The mobile app has allowed us to provide offline functionality to our users. It’s a great piece of functionality via mobile because mobile usage as a productivity tool on board is only trending one way – up.” says Wheaton.
Seahub is on track for a busy 2020 which a number of European based new build vessels signing up to use the system. “2020 will be a big year with a number of our vessels launching with some exciting new technology being deployed” says Wheaton.
