Problem
Maritime shipping companies often juggle separate systems for chartering, voyage accounting, finance, and banking, leading to data silos, manual data entry, and delayed decision‑making. This fragmentation makes it difficult to obtain real‑time insight into vessel performance, cash flow, and compliance requirements.
Solution
Marlo provides a unified, cloud‑based ERP platform that integrates voyage management, financial accounting, loan financing, and maritime‑focused banking into a single system. The platform automatically aggregates data from vessels, contracts, and bank accounts, delivering real‑time dashboards for P&L, cash flow, and fleet valuation. Built‑in analytics offer credit scoring, sanctions screening, and emissions monitoring, while open APIs connect to accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero) and banking services. By consolidating operations, Marlo enables shipowners, operators, and commercial managers to make faster, data‑driven decisions without manual reconciliation.
