Advanced Networked Control & Harmonized Operations Resource
The port-agency platform for vessel husbandry. Where PAMS manages your principal-agency liner operations, ANCHOR manages what happens when a vessel actually calls — clearance, crew changes, provisioning, port authorities — across every port, every principal, every service line.

Centralised rate definitions, agreements, and approval workflows — every principal contract on one platform, not scattered across spreadsheets and emails.
End-to-end request processing — Setup → Request → Process → Invoice → Receipt. One workflow, no handoffs between disconnected tools.
Visa, accommodation, transport and medical coordination — managed end-to-end. No more compliance risk from manual tracking across email chains.
Bunkers, spares, and supplies tracked under the agency's scope of service — visibility on procurement, no more overspend, no more vessel downtime from missing supplies.
Husbanding billing linked directly to approved service execution and receipt management. Auto-generated from the same data the operations ran on.
Integrated receivables, settlements, and collection management. Vendor payments and revenue reconciliation in one place, not split across external tools.

Why this exists
The pain
Port calls, crew changes and husbanding services managed across multiple ports with no unified system.
With ANCHOR
End-to-end Service Operations workflow — request, process, invoice and receipt in one platform.
The pain
Contract terms, rate agreements and vendor arrangements scattered across spreadsheets and emails.
With ANCHOR
Centralised Contract Management with rate definitions, agreements and approval workflows.
The pain
Crew visa, accommodation, transport and medical coordination is manual — causing delays and compliance risk.
With ANCHOR
Complete Crew Services module — visa, accommodation, transport, medical managed end-to-end.
The pain
Husbanding billing is slow, inconsistent, and dependent on manual document preparation.
With ANCHOR
Automated invoice generation linked to approved service execution and receipt management.
The pain
Bunker, spares and supplies procurement lacks visibility — leading to overspend and vessel downtime.
With ANCHOR
Vessel Provisioning module tracks bunkers, spares and supplies under the agency's scope of service.
The pain
Vendor payments and revenue reconciliation rely on external tools — causing settlement delays.
With ANCHOR
Integrated Revenue Management and Payment Processing for receivables, settlements and collection.
The pain
Financial entries duplicated across agency system and ERP / Tally — no single-window clearance.
With ANCHOR
Single-window clearance integrates invoices, receipts and GL postings — eliminating double entry.
