Allocate Software

Fourth Quarter Update and Contract Wins: 10 June 10; The recent selection of Allocate and Healthroster by the Department of Health, New South Wales, validates our international expansion strategy. The new contract with the Australian Army, building on our relationship with the Royal Australian Navy, clearly reinforces our position within the Defence sector, particularly across the Commonwealth and Coalition forces community.

The solution can help us further refine our systems and lead to even greater efficiencies.

With over a decade of experience, Allocate Software is aware that the shipping sector faces specific challenges that include:

The global shortage of experienced and qualified crew – with competition for crew so high, organizations have to continually rethink their employment and retention strategies. This often means looking further afield for new sources of qualified staff. As emerging markets around the globe continue to expand their shipping operations, this problem will continue to grow.
Having to manage rapid fleet growth with cost pressures – many companies and fleets are now consolidating under different flag states. Preferential tax sectors can be taken advantage of, while new lines of opportunities can be capitalized upon. Forward planning of various scenarios is crucial for the most effective economic model of fleets and organizations.
Increasingly demanding maritime regulations – from IMO regulations (e.g. STCW95 & SOLAS) and maritime working directives (ILO180), to the national security requirements of the US Coast Guard, organizations in the shipping industry have to ensure their compliance with a complex set of standards.
