Advanced Logistics counts among its many (23) eet wide implementations such marine customers as industry mainstays Seacor Marine, Laborde Marine, Graham Gulf, Delta Marine, KG Marine and others. Both SAMM and Preventer are customizable to some degree to meet the customer?s needs and for vessel speci cations. In the case of the Harvey Gulf implementa- tion, the Advanced Logistics suite notably took the place of not one, but two other software applications. Up and RunningFor Harvey Gulf, there were many reasons to migrate to the robust Advanced Logistics solution, among them access to quality, real-time data. Other attractive features of the software, according to Harvey Gulf?s Barry Autin, included a SQL database that allows for the query of infor- mation over a date range (which saves time and money), a collaborative work environment for all stakeholders from and to Harvey Gulf?s corporate of ces, and an intuitive and easy to use interface. Autin adds, ?Multiple Reports including logs for billing, subsistence, vessel utilization, vessel activities, fuel, commodities, crew and safety and preventive maintenance can all be generated, accessed and transmitted over Harvey Gulf?s satellite service provider.?
