Choosing maritime software is rarely an impulse purchase. You need to see how objects map to your fleet, how permissions feel for a chief engineer versus a shore superintendent, and how reporting survives the messy middle of a refit. Our live demos are working sessions—not generic slide decks— so you leave with a concrete sense of fit, not just enthusiasm.
Shipyard Intel runs on Salesforce, which means much of what we show is configurable without custom code: fields, page layouts, flows, and approvals. In a demo we still focus on your top three outcomes—whether that is survey readiness, crew renewals, or marina work-order throughput—so you are not drowning in every feature on day one.
How we prepare before we meet
When you request a demo, we ask for your fleet or yard profile, current tools, and any compliance frameworks you must satisfy. That lets us seed a realistic scenario—expiring certificates, open deficiencies, or a backlog of work orders—instead of pristine demo data that feels fictional.
If you already use Salesforce, we discuss org strategy (existing org vs. dedicated maritime org), integration touchpoints, and identity providers. If you are new to Salesforce, we spend extra time on navigation patterns so stakeholders unfamiliar with Lightning still orient quickly.
What you will see in a typical session
- Role-based navigation for operations, compliance, and leadership—with field-level security explained in plain language.
- A walkthrough of record relationships: vessel → asset → inspection → corrective action, or crew → competency → training event.
- Reporting and list views that answer the questions you said matter most in the intake form (aging tasks, expiring documents, open vendor jobs).
- Extension points: flows you can own, APIs for integrations, and packaging options if you prefer an AppExchange install baseline.
Who should attend
The best demos include a triad: someone who feels operational pain daily, someone who owns data governance or IT security, and someone who can say yes to a pilot budget. If procurement must join, we welcome them— especially when contract vehicles or Salesforce license bundles are in play.
For technical depth before or after the call, share these guides with your team: Salesforce-native maritime operations and shipyard compliance readiness.
After the demo: pilots and success criteria
We recommend time-boxed pilots with measurable exit criteria—for example, “100% of renewals for Vessel A class run through Salesforce for one quarter.” That keeps scope honest and gives executives a clear read on adoption before scaling spend.
Frequently asked questions
Is the demo recorded? Only if you request it and sign any necessary addendum for sensitive fleet data shown on screen.
Do you sign NDAs? Yes—common for yards under active sale processes or classified adjacent programs.
How long is a session? Plan 45–60 minutes for a first call; technical deep dives may schedule a follow-up with solutions architects.
