Stop Managing Documents. Start Managing Port Calls.
Marine surveyors spend 40+ documents per port call on clipboards and email. FormaFlow replaces paper with mobile forms, instant PDFs, and timestamped proof—so you survey instead of administrate.

Real-World Problems We Solve
40 Documents Per Port Call — Still on Clipboards (surveyors through 5+ holds/day, no digital trail, photos scattered across phones)
Compliance & Liability Gaps (port authorities demanding timestamped docs, no proof of inspection, liability exposure)
Admin Taking Time Away from Surveying (2+ hours/day transcribing field notes into reports)
No Real-Time Communication with Port Ops (teams waiting for reports after ship departure, critical issues found post-sailing)
Lost Revenue on Fast-Turnaround Ships (clients want reports within 2 hours, manual takes 4+, losing bids)
Data Scattered Across Multiple Systems (photos in one place, checklists in another, no audit trail)
Key Benefits
Mobile-First Survey Forms (tablets pre-loaded with templates, fill in the hold, offline-capable)
Instant PDF Generation (one-tap report creation, photos auto-attached with timestamps, branded templates)
Timestamped Proof of Inspection (every field/photo/signature recorded with exact time, audit-ready for port authorities)
Real-Time Alerts & Escalation (critical issues trigger instant notifications, port ops sees issues while ship is docked)
Complete Inspection Audit Trail (who surveyed what, when, findings, changes, client sign-offs)
Works Offline, Syncs Automatically (no dependency on port Wi-Fi, syncs when connection returns)
Client Portal Access (port ops and ship captains see surveys in real-time, reduces back-and-forth emails)

Pacific Coast Marine Surveyors Cut Survey Time in Half
