Raymarine NavCloud Connects Bridge Voyage Data with Shore Teams
Raymarine Commercial's NavCloud links route planning, chart updates and shore-side monitoring so navigation data can move automatically between vessel and office.
Go Earth has launched BEST Software to develop focused systems for smaller marine businesses, addressing administration, quotations and data integration.
Go Earth Ltd has launched BEST Software, a bespoke software service aimed at small and medium-sized marine businesses. The 18 September announcement, distributed by British Marine, places the emphasis on solving specific workflow problems rather than replacing every system a company already uses.
Go Earth's background combines boat-market activity through Go Earth Boating with software design and implementation. Director Martin Berman brings experience in business analysis, system integration and migration, an unusual combination intended to help identify operational requirements before development begins.
The company identifies enquiries and customer follow-up, quotation processes, compliance records, vessel and equipment management, and routine reporting among potential uses. A shipyard, service provider or broker may already hold the necessary information across several platforms yet still rely on manual copying between them.
BEST Software says modern development tools, including AI-assisted development, may make tightly scoped projects more affordable. That is the company's proposition, not a verified guarantee of cost or return on investment for every customer.
The service offers an initial one-hour consultation to discuss repetitive work, disconnected data or an administrative bottleneck. A small application linking existing records can sometimes address a specific need without the expense and disruption of commissioning a large enterprise system.
Marine companies evaluating such a service should establish information security, data ownership, integration responsibilities and ongoing support before committing. Those questions are particularly important where customer, crew, operational or vessel information is handled.
Superyacht businesses range from large shipyards to small technical specialists whose work depends on accurate quotations, service histories and scheduling. A focused digital project can be relevant throughout that network even when the announcement does not concern hardware installed aboard a yacht.
The British Marine release provides the company identity, product scope and consultation offer. It is a new service announcement, not independent evidence that a specific yard has adopted the software or achieved a measured saving.
