Overview

Pulse is a suite of products specifically designed for Sale and Purchase (SnP) brokers that takes advantage of the extraordinary value Artificial Intelligence (AI) can create for an organisation.

Competitive advantage not only comes from having accurate, real-time information, but also by having immediately to hand solutions that allow a quick response to commercial opportunities as they arise.

In addition to the impact on the bottom line by being able to move faster than your competitors, significant time and cost savings can also be made by automating what are currently manual processes. Furthermore, limited human resources can be re-allocated to more profitable activities.

Pulse works “out of the box”, covering any number of mailboxes (both shared and personal), with what is the de facto standard of the SnP market, CompassAir messaging software. It also works with any other email client (e.g. Outlook). In other words, you don’t have to use our messaging software to take full advantage of Pulse.

What are the benefits?

• Respond immediately to opportunities – stay ahead of the competition
• Reduce repetitive tasks – focus on deals, reallocate resources, reduce overheads
• Speed up workflows – always on 24/7, immediate action – updating databases, suggesting solutions

We are so confident of the added value that Pulse will create, we offer a two week trial completely free of charge and without any obligation. We want you to be 100% satisfied with Pulse and so we also offer a 90-day, unconditional money-back guarantee if for any reason you feel Pulse fails to deliver the added value that you expected.

What does the Pulse suite of products comprise?

Pulse consists of the modules shown below that automate the extraction of information from emails, immediately updating your vessel database, then sending notifications and making recommendations to brokers. This information includes, for example, changes in the sale status of vessels, inspectable positions, dry docking and special survey dates through to updates on a vessel’s BWTS status. Which particular modules are selected and installed will depend on individual preferences and workflows.

ShipLink

As soon as an email arrives in your inbox it is processed and, if the email refers to one or more ships for sale, your vessel database will instantly display that message against the relevant ships. Rest assured in the knowledge that the next time you refer to a ship in CompassAir, each and every message in which that ship is mentioned will be listed and available to view with a single click.

Enquiry Recorder

The instant an email arrives in your inbox it is analysed and if it is recognised as a Purchase Enquiry (P/E) the details, such as ship type, size and age, are recorded in your Compass database for later action or instant matching by the Ship Proposer and ForSale Tagger (see below) where all vessels for sale that match the P/E are immediately proposed.

Advice Recorder

If an incoming email is recognised as a Commercial Advice then Advice Recorder will immediately extract details, such as inspectable position, itineraries, delivery dates, etc. and will create an internal advice. The broker will be informed immediately of this newly arrived advice and, if CompassAir is being used, the advice details will be recorded for future reference or instant matching with working P/Es by means of the Enquiry Proposer (see below).

ForSale Tagger

If an incoming email is recognised as a Commercial Advice the vessel database is updated to show that the particular ship is now for sale (NOTE: ShipLink is required for the ForSale Tagger to function). When used alongside Ship Proposer (see below) ships that are for sale will be automatically matched to incoming Purchase Enquiries.

Ship Proposer

When used alongside ShipLink and Enquiry Recorder, vessels that have been tagged as for sale in your vessel database will be instantly recommended if they match the requirements of all incoming Purchase Enquiries.

Enquiry Proposer

Purchase Enquiries are matched to incoming Commercial Advices. In other words, for each email that contains a Commercial Advice, instantaneously all existing Purchase Enquiries are scanned and proposed if they match the details of the ship that is now for sale. ShipLink and Enquiry Recorder are required for Enquiry Proposer to function.

Market Report Extractor

Extracting information from the many market reports received each week is time consuming. The Pulse Market Report Extractor automates the collection of available information from pdf attachments including a sold vessel’s IMO number, the price and buyer as well as distinguishing between a sale and demolition.
