CFM Crewing will now provide shipping companies with an integrated and optimised approach to managing their crew travel arrangements.
Lloyd’s Register (LR) has unveiled the integration of C Teleport, a cutting-edge travel management platform, into the Cloud Fleet Manager (CFM) Crewing module. The integration will enable shipping companies to manage and book flights for crew members within one platform, making it easier to ensure onboard personnel arrive at their destinations on time.
C Teleport is a digital platform designed specifically for the marine and offshore industry. It offers real-time access to flight schedules and ticket prices, allowing crew managers to book the most cost-effective flights for their teams. With C Teleport integrated into CFM Crewing, crew managers can manage the entire process of booking flights for crew members, from start to finish without the need to switch systems.
Having one centralised platform for managing all aspects of crewing operations, from scheduling and training to payroll and travel management, enables shipping companies to consolidate their operations into a streamlined workflow that saves time and increases efficiency. Route optimisation functionality further streamlines the process, ensuring that companies can plan and manage their crew’s travel arrangements with ease and in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Martin Taylor, CEO of LR Digital Solutions, said “At LR, we are committed to providing shipping companies with the most advanced digital technologies which are designed to replace outdated, disconnected processes and provide a more streamlined and efficient way of managing all aspects of fleet operations.”
Taylor added: “The integration of C Teleport into CFM Crewing is a testament to our commitment to innovation and to helping our customers stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving industry.”
Dmitrii Beliakov, CEO of C Teleport, commented “This integration is the best the market has to offer. It puts crew managers in the driver seat and streamlines information exchange. Crew managers are getting the best prices and finish travel arrangements in seconds – all visible from their central CFM interface. I am convinced that the combined efforts of the C Teleport and CFM teams are enabling shipping companies to achieve unparalleled efficiency.”
