Compare
You already run something. Here’s where this fits.
Four columns, honest and short. What you have is not wrong. These are the jobs that fell outside it, and that somebody in your office now does by hand.
| Spreadsheets | Traditional VMS (IMOS / Dataloy / etc.) | VoyNex | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voyage estimate | Fast, flexible, drifts | Structured, slow to change | Dense, live, deterministic |
| Estimate → voyage | Re-key | Re-key or import | One action, event-sourced |
| Forward cash by banking day | Manual, if at all | Not native | Native, fleet-wide |
| Audit trail | None | Row edits | Every figure → event → document → rule version |
| Approvals | Row status | Derived from forecast, amount-banded | |
| Time to first live voyage | n/a | [months] | [X] weeks, running alongside your existing VMS |
How it goes in
It replaces the voyage system. Nothing stops while it does.
A replacement, not a layer on top. That is the only reason a switch is worth anyone’s time, and it is why the cash view comes from the same record as the P&L rather than having to be reconciled to it afterwards. It still goes in gradually.
01
It reads your system, on a schedule.
Your data, your voyages, nothing changed at your end. Nobody retypes a voyage and no one has to stop working.
02
Both run in parallel.
The same voyages in both systems, until the numbers agree and your people trust them. That period is the evidence, and it is the point.
03
Desks move when you are ready.
Commercial, operations and finance, in whatever order suits. Roles are per desk, so each one sees what it should and nothing else.
Most of this is worth having in one place, and that is how it is normally taken. But these systems are sold as one thing and used as a dozen. If you already have a part of it covered, you are not obliged to buy it twice. The estimator can stand alone and connect to the record you keep.
