Unitor Launches

New IT Program

Unitor has taken the next step in giv- ing customers the power to manage their fleets. Customer empowerment in the area of information technology is the next generation of service supported product offerings. Unitor's new infor- mation technology system named Part- nerSHIP offers subscribers access to all critical information regarding their fleet as well as data about Unitor's worldwide network. This Web-based program offers secure and direct customer access into Unitor's mainframe computer. This computer network acts as a data reposi- tory for all of the customer's informa- tion. In conjunction with that informa- tion it also accesses Unitor's own central database regarding its products, services and port information through a secure • - JL 2.: JL Ji. J. Jfe A 2 - <£L rj ifej www.vanhallhealth.com web server. By offering customers all of this information through a single vehicle it allows owners to better understand how and where they are utilizing the

Unitor network. Unitor is the first marine chemical company to offer such a free service to its clients. This variety of informational tools focus on ship owner specific pricing, reporting, port offerings, and product support.

PartnerSHIP gives instant access to pricing of Unitor products worldwide.

Once a client's contract pricing is estab- lished, the client can then access Part- nerSHIP to review net pricing in poten- tial ports. Clients can also make com- parative reports in order to evaluate the cost benefits of all proposed ports.

Since shipowners will know in advance their ports of call, Unitor makes it possi- ble to forecast future costs based on pricing structures and anticipated con- sumption. With regards to actual deliv- eries, users can also drill down to review signed delivery documents and related information. This alleviates the time necessary in researching delivery notes and allows for auditing of actual pricing from contract to delivery.

PartnerSHIP allows ship owners access to their own data in order to gen- erate custom reports. These reports can be used to review fleetwide costs and consumption. The program also allows
