More North American Workboat Companies Choose Edoc’s Helm Marine Operations™ Software

Vcitoria, Canada, September 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- 2010 has been a year of growth in sales for Edoc Systems Group, developers of Helm Marine Operations™ enterprise software. This year Edoc welcomed new customers McAllister Towing and Transportation, Seaspan International and Florida Marine Transporters, some of the largest and most respected workboat companies in North America. Edoc also reported sales of additional Helm software modules to existing customers Blessey Marine Services and Island Tug & Barge, making Helm a preferred software choice of workboat companies in North America.

“We’re very pleased with the addition of Seaspan, McAllister and Florida Marine,” said Ron deBruyne, CEO of Edoc Systems Group. deBruyne also explained the increase in current customer sales. “Most new customers initially purchase Helm Dispatch Manager™, which centralizes and manages all dispatch and invoicing functions. Once they see its effect on resource allocation and operational efficiency, they add Helm modules to other departments, like personnel, maintenance, and purchasing.” deBruyne added that Helm’s ability to integrate with existing software systems could also be a factor in sales growth.

Helm Marine Operations modules address a wide array of operational areas, such as personnel, dispatch & invoicing, maintenance, purchasing & inventory and onboard. In late 2010 Edoc plans to release its newest module: Helm Safety Manager™. “Many of our customers have asked for a safety management module,” said Bill Reid, Edoc’s Operations Manager and architect of the new Helm Safety module, which, among other functions, will track and prove all regulatory compliance, manage root cause analysis and corrective actions and record all near-misses and incident reporting. “Helm Safety Manager is due out in December, so we’re adding to our wait-list right now.”

Edoc is poised for more growth in 2011 with Helm Marine Operations sales already being negotiated with new marine transport customers. “The modularity of Helm software makes it a seamless choice for various sectors,” said deBruyne. Currently Helm is customizable for Liquid & Dry Bulk Barging, Ship Docking, Cargo Barging, Log Towing, Offshore Supply and Oil Spill Response.
