Making Ship Management

More Profitable

Xantic launched an upgrade of its AMOS

Maintenance & Purchase enterprise solution and the shipboard application AMOS Express. The new V5.4 offers a range of benefits for users. AMOS M&P is a maintenance management system for the maritime industry, to meet the demands of fleet owners and man- agers aiming to improve performance and profitability.

A range of enhanced functionalities have been designed to offer even greater support to core business processes. The demand for more detailed finance reporting has resulted in a new accounting module in

AMOS M&P. This module is comprised of Account codes (registration of the types of expenditure and recording of used resources) and Cost Centers (sepa- rate financial areas where expenditure is registered against records of used resources).
