Seaplify Platform Maritime Industry

What if I told you an exciting, new platform promises to be a true game changer for maritime workers and employers? Day by day, ASSIST Software is getting closer to releasing a centralized platform that amplifies workers' visibility, unlocks a sea of exciting job opportunities, and immerses them in a vibrant community of networking and collaboration.  

Whether we're talking about seasoned sailors craving new horizons or people who want to pierce into this industry, Seaplify was created to offer valuable support.   

We believe in this project so much that until today, we were present at #Seaworld23 – Europe's largest annual commercial maritime exhibition & conference. We thank everybody we met at the stand. Did you miss us? Let's talk.   

Dive in now and discover why Seaplify is the LinkedIn of the maritime industry.  

How are Seaplify and LinkedIn similar?

1. Networking Platform   

Both LinkedIn and Seaplify are powerful networking platforms. While LinkedIn connects professionals across various industries, Seaplify focuses on one specific interest group and works that to the user's advantage.   

Both platforms facilitate communication, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among their communities. Wouldn't having a forum dedicated solely to your line of work be incredible?   

2. Information Sharing  

LinkedIn and Seaplify enable the sharing of critical information. LinkedIn allows professionals to showcase their skills, experience, and achievements, and Seaplify encourages you to do the same.

Let's mention the vast Seaplify library also. Seaplify's library section is a treasure trove of knowledge, catering to individuals eager to expand their expertise. Brimming with a diverse collection of technical manuals, eBooks, and other valuable resources, it is an indispensable tool for professionals striving to stay current and ahead in their field.   

Explore this vast repository, unlock new insights, and empower yourself with the latest advancements, all within reach on Seaplify's library.  

3Collaboration Opportunities

LinkedIn and Seaplify foster collaboration. LinkedIn enables professionals to connect, collaborate, and work on industry-wide initiatives. Similarly, Seaplify brings maritime industry professionals and organizations together, promoting collaboration, sharing insights, and driving industry-wide initiatives for sustainable practices and innovation.  

Seaplify offers professionals a unique opportunity to connect, engage, and exchange knowledge and ideas within the maritime industry. By joining the platform, individuals gain access to a diverse community where they can ask questions about their work and receive insightful answers from experienced industry professionals.   

Seaplify also empowers users to tap into a wealth of expertise, fostering a collaborative environment that fuels growth and learning.  

4Employers welcomed. Optimized Operations  

Both platforms utilize technology to optimize operations. LinkedIn employs algorithms and data analysis to provide professionals with personalized job recommendations and insights.   

Jobs in the maritime industry

ust like LinkedIn, Seaplify offers advanced features to streamline the hiring process for employers. Employers can easily locate candidates with specific skills and experience with unique filters. Jobs Analytics provides valuable insights into hiring trends, allowing employers to optimize their strategies. Therefore, employers can make more informed decisions regarding posting jobs and selecting candidates by gaining a deeper understanding of the job market and hiring trends.   

The platform's OpenAI-powered tool auto-generates comprehensive job descriptions, saving time and ensuring accuracy. Still, most importantly, through headhunting and relevant profile recommendations, employers can connect with top talent efficiently. The platform provides access to professional profiles with extensive information about a candidate's experience, qualifications, and skills. With Seaplify, employers can browse these profiles and connect with top talent who meet their unique requirements.  

5.Easy Maritime Job Search  

Similar to LinkedIn, Seaplify offers advanced features that streamline the job search process for professionals in the maritime industry. With features like auto-apply and auto-import profiles, job seekers can effortlessly apply for positions without the hassle of lengthy applications or manual profile imports. Seaplify's job section provides a user-friendly platform for job seekers to discover and apply for positions that align with their skills and qualifications, ultimately fostering a successful and rewarding career journey within the maritime industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.
