Ship managers are tracking critical certificates in spreadsheets, communicating through WhatsApp groups, and preparing for PSC inspections from memory alone. One missed certificate means detention. One detained vessel costs $10,000–$50,000 per day.

Why Helm

Built by people who have been on both sides of a PSC inspection.

🏗️
Built by Maritime Professionals
Helm was designed by people who understand what happens when compliance fails at sea. Every feature solves a real problem — not a theoretical one.
📱
Mobile First, Always
Designed for a tablet on the bridge in the middle of the Pacific — not a desktop in an office. Works offline, syncs when connected.
⚖️
A Fraction of Enterprise Cost
