Unity Ship Management (USM) has entered into a strategic partnership with BASS Software to implement the complete suite of BASSnet Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. This comprehensive contract, which encompasses 21 vessels and office operations, signifies a major advancement for BASS Software as a leading provider of maritime enterprise resource planning (ERP) cloud solutions.
USM, responsible for managing a large fleet’s technical and operational needs, experienced challenges with its previous systems in achieving operational efficiency. In search of a dependable partner capable of meeting current and future demands, USM selected BASSnet’s fully integrated cloud platform.
This solution is designed to unify both vessel and shore operations effectively. The contract covers several key modules including Financials, Human Resource Management, Maintenance, and Procurement, as well as the complete Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) suite, all powered by the innovative BASSnet Web 3.0 browser-based software.
USM has also opted for BASSnet’s Web Portal app to enhance mobile functionality across its fleet. BASSnet was chosen after a thorough evaluation process, with its proven success across various fleet sizes, risk-free implementation strategy, and adaptable SaaS platform being significant factors.
Stanislav Tritakov, Technical Director at USM, noted that BASSnet’s mature technology was integral to eliminating inefficiencies and delivering substantial operational value. Per Steinar Upsaker, CEO of BASS Software, welcomed USM to the BASSnet community, highlighting the strength of their SaaS suite and the smooth implementation process it offers.
The rollout of the system will occur in two phases, with the first phase—covering Procurement, Maintenance, and Financials—already live. The second phase will introduce Human Resource Management and the latest version of BASSnet Web 3.0.
This collaboration is a vital element of USM’s digital strategy and reflects BASS’s commitment to providing modern ERP solutions that streamline maritime operations for ship owners and managers around the globe.
