Base Connect: Cross-Organization Visibility for Maritime Principals

You hire port agents, ship agents, and subcontractors across dozens of locations. Each operator runs their own systems. You get PDAs by email, FDAs weeks later, and spend reports when you ask for them. Base Connect gives you one dashboard across every operator in your network: job status, spend tracking, compliance alerts, and vendor performance, without logging into each operator’s system.

Compliance Visibility Across Your Supply Chain

When a counterparty hits a sanctions watchlist, you see every job and vendor it affects across your entire operator network, not just one operator at a time. Sanctions screening, vendor compliance status, and vessel inspection history are all visible from the principal dashboard.

How Operators Connect to Base Connect

Common Concerns

"Our operators use different systems."

Operators who use Base share data through Base Connect automatically. For operators on other systems, Base Connect accepts data imports. The goal is one view for the principal regardless of what each operator runs internally.

"We already get reports from our operators."

Reports arrive after the fact, in different formats, at different cadences. Base Connect shows you the data as it happens: charges posting, FDAs closing, compliance alerts firing. You stop requesting and start monitoring.

"How do we control what operators see vs what we see?"

Each operator sees their own jobs. You see all jobs across all operators. Permissions are role-based: operators manage their workflow, principals review results. Neither party accesses the other\’s internal data beyond the shared job record.

See Your Operator Network From One Dashboard

Walk through the principal view: see jobs across operators, review FDA closeout status, check compliance alerts, and approve invoices from multiple operators in one workflow. Bring your operator list.

“We used to log into each operator’s portal separately and still miss half the FDAs. Now everything is in one place and we see charges as they post.”
