We delete the software you do not use, connect what is left, and install the systems and AI that run vessel maintenance, certification and class tracking, voyage coordination, and utilization. In 30 days your fleet runs on systems, not on you. You own it.
Book Complete Audit →Not six point tools bolted together. One operating system that runs every lane, from the first call to collected cash, built for how a boatyard and vessel service shop actually runs.
Every service request gets logged and slotted against lift, slip, and yard capacity the moment it comes in. No boat shows up for a haul-out the yard has no room to take.
Estimates build from the survey and hull inspection, not a guess over the phone. The found scope, parts, and yard hours roll into a priced quote the owner can approve before work starts.
Open estimates get chased automatically until the owner approves or declines. Survey work that used to stall waiting on a signature turns into scheduled yard time.
Connects slip and yard space, crew rotation, and job assignments into one live view. The system flags conflicts and certification gaps before a boat is assigned to a crew that cannot take it.
Yard crews get the full work order dockside, update it as the job moves, and attach photos of hull, running gear, and machinery. Nothing waits in a notebook to be entered later.
Tracks impellers, zincs, filters, and long-lead components against vendor times, and bills consumables to the vessel they came off. A boat stops sitting in the water waiting on a part nobody ordered.
Long refits bill on progress milestones instead of one invoice at the end. Cash comes in as the work completes rather than financing the whole job off your own balance sheet.
Every vessel shows true cost against revenue, broken out by parts, yard labor, and subs. You see which jobs and which boats actually make money instead of finding out after the haul-out.
Deposits get collected before the lift and open balances get chased automatically until they clear. No vessel splashes and leaves the yard with an unpaid invoice behind it.
Tracks warranty work, survey deadlines, and USCG documentation where it applies, with audit-ready records generated automatically. A missed survey or expired certificate never detains a vessel.
Every owner, every boat, and every prior job lives in one record. When a vessel comes back, the crew sees what was done last time instead of starting blind.
Every lane, from intake to collected cash, on one live screen. The yard owner sees the whole operation at a glance instead of stitching it together from six tools.

We map your fleet, identify your highest-cost downtime and compliance risks, review your onboard data and certification calendar, and produce a specific build plan with ROI projections. You walk away with a clear picture of what gets built and what it returns before any significant investment is made. The Audit applies toward your project.
TMI builds predictive models against your actual vessel machinery data, integrates with your existing onboard monitoring, AIS, and planned maintenance systems, and constructs the certification, voyage, and alert infrastructure. Four to seven weeks depending on integration complexity. Every system is built to your fleet and routes - not configured from a generic template.
Systems go live. Your crews and shore team get trained on the controls and alert protocols. One to two weeks. The predictive models continue improving in accuracy over the first 60 to 90 days as they learn each vessel's specific machinery patterns. You own the infrastructure without ongoing per-seat software fees.
Predictive vessel maintenance consistently delivers the highest ROI in marine operations. Catching a main engine, generator, or shaft bearing problem before it fails costs a fraction of a vessel pulled out of service or stranded waiting on parts. A single day of unplanned vessel downtime can run into the tens of thousands of dollars in lost charter, crew, and fuel, so preventing even a handful of breakdowns per year pays for the entire system. Certification and class tracking is the second highest return - one missed survey or expired cert can detain a vessel and idle the whole revenue stream behind it.
TMI builds models that monitor machinery and sensor data across the vessel - main and auxiliary engine temperatures, vibration, oil pressure, fuel consumption, exhaust readings, and running hours - and establish a baseline for each vessel and each piece of equipment. When readings start drifting from normal in ways that historically precede failures, the system generates a maintenance alert before the equipment goes down. The alert names the specific vessel, the component, the anomaly pattern, and a recommended service window that fits the voyage and dry-dock schedule rather than forcing an emergency at sea.
Yes. TMI builds integration layers that connect to existing onboard monitoring, engine control, and alarm systems as well as AIS, fuel meters, and the planned maintenance system you already run. We work with the data your vessels already generate rather than requiring rip-and-replace hardware. For older vessels with limited telemetry, TMI can specify targeted sensor retrofits as part of the Audit and Build phase so you add instrumentation strategically instead of all at once.
The system tracks every certificate, survey, and inspection deadline across the fleet in one dashboard - USCG documentation, ABS or other class society surveys, SOLAS and MARPOL certificates, load line, safety equipment, and flag state requirements. Expirations and upcoming surveys escalate well in advance with the lead time you need to schedule them around voyages and dry-dock windows. Audit-ready documentation is generated automatically, so when a port state control officer or surveyor asks for records, you produce them in minutes instead of digging through binders and email.
Yes. TMI builds fleet architectures that give port captains and vessel managers a view of each individual boat and give operations leadership a consolidated view across the whole fleet. Each vessel gets its own monitoring configuration tuned to its machinery, while utilization, maintenance status, certification standing, and fuel performance roll up into one operating picture. Performance comparisons across vessels are built into the reporting layer so you can see which boats and crews run cleanest and replicate what works.
Voyage and dispatch coordination connects vessel position, availability, crew rotation, and cargo or job assignments into a single live view. Dispatchers stop juggling spreadsheets, phone calls, and whiteboards to figure out which vessel is where and what it is committed to next. The system flags scheduling conflicts, crew hour limits, and certification gaps before a boat is assigned to a job it cannot legally or physically take, so you reduce the idle time and last-minute scrambles that quietly erode utilization.
Most marine operators are fully operational in 8 to 12 weeks. The Audit takes two weeks to map your fleet, onboard data sources, certification calendar, and operational gaps. Build runs four to seven weeks depending on integration complexity and the number of vessels being monitored. Installation and crew training takes one to two weeks. Predictive maintenance models improve in accuracy over the first 60 to 90 days as they learn each vessel's specific machinery patterns.
Every engagement starts with the Complete Audit. The Audit maps your fleet, identifies your highest-cost downtime and compliance risks, and produces a specific build plan with ROI projections. Full project scope is determined after the Audit based on the number of vessels, integration complexity, and systems prioritized. Most operators recover the project cost from a single prevented breakdown or a single avoided detention.
Helm CONNECT and Nautical Systems are maintenance and compliance management platforms - your crew logs into them to record work, file forms, and track certificates after the fact. TMI builds predictive systems that identify machinery failures before they happen and connect maintenance, certification, voyage coordination, and fuel into a single operating layer. TMI is not one more application your crew has to keep updated by hand. It is infrastructure that runs against your live vessel data and surfaces what needs attention before it becomes a breakdown or a detention.
Both. The systems are built to your operation. Offshore support vessels and OSVs get monitoring tuned to long runs, dynamic positioning machinery, and the certification demands of offshore work. Tug, barge, workboat, and harbor operators get monitoring tuned to high-cycle short-run duty, fleet utilization, and the dispatch coordination that drives their margins. The Audit phase determines which systems apply to your specific vessels and routes before anything is built.
Two weeks. A complete map of your fleet, every downtime and compliance risk quantified, and a specific build plan. Applies toward your project if you move forward.
