CruiseControl
CruiseControl manages maritime crew records, certifications, training, scheduling, and compliance across vessels and shore.
What CruiseControl is
CruiseControl manages maritime crew records, certifications, training, scheduling, and compliance across vessels and shore. Its shared core covers recruitment, onboarding, learning, performance, recognition, documents, scheduling, and compliance. Training supports role-based content, SCORM and xAPI, assessments, certifications, and completion tracking. Configurable workflows automate onboarding, training assignments, expiry notifications, approvals, and document handling. Shipboard workflows can work offline and sync when connectivity returns. Integration options include SAP, Workday, Oracle HCM, ADP, Kronos, Azure AD, Okta, SAML 2.0, Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, REST APIs, webhooks, and managed CSV exports, with scope set during implementation. Security features include role-based access and traceable audit records, with alignment described for STCW, MLC, ISM, and SOLAS. The platform is offered as self-hosted or web software, with API access, trip assignment, qualification tracking, and fatigue management.
