Once a boat leaves the base it is out of sight for a week. The Pulse unit on board changes that. You see where it is, what the weather is doing to it, and how it is holding up.
For the operator and the technical manager
Live view
Every boat where it actually is, with the weather over it, who is aboard and how long they have left. Open one and you see its instruments and how its systems are doing.
Replaces Calling the boat, or waiting for the boat to call you.
Batteries and shore power
The device keeps reporting with the panel off, so a bank going flat in February is something you hear about in February. It knows shore power from charging from running down, and tells you when the shore line drops or was never plugged in.
Replaces A dead bank discovered on the first changeover of the season.
The trip
Every charter becomes a trip of its own: the route, the conditions, where they stopped. Your team gets the log. The guest gets a page they can share.
Replaces A logbook nobody filled in.
Where this goes
Its position and its readings feed the rest of the week. Not as a separate report, but inside the boards your team already has open.
A detected grounding and the hull job raised two days later sit on one timeline, with the depth, speed and heel behind the incident still attached.
The same position feed gives the changeover board each boat’s live ETA, so the turnaround re-ranks itself as the fleet comes home.
And the pleasant half of the same data becomes their trip page: the route, the wind they had, the week they will describe to someone else.
The fastest way to judge this is to see a real hull reporting in, rather than a slide about one.
