BASS Software releases BASSnet Neo cloud-native ERP platform for maritime operations

BASS Software has announced the release of the new version of BASSnet Neo, extending its maritime ERP solution into a fully integrated cloud-native SaaS suite.

BASSnet Neo is available globally.

With this release, BASSnet Neo unifies maintenance, procurement, materials, projects (drydocking), document management, and HSEQ modules.

"Modern maritime operations demand connected, data-driven solutions. The new version of BASSnet Neo marks a major step forward, delivering an integrated, future-ready SaaS platform," said Per Steinar Upsaker, CEO and managing director of BASS Software.

"Traditional web-based systems, built on legacy architecture adapted for browser access, can result in slow innovation, cybersecurity risks, increased complexity, and higher costs," added Upsaker.

"BASSnet Neo is different. Purpose-built as cloud-native SaaS, it reduces maintenance overhead in the long term while delivering scalability, security, AI-readiness and continuous innovation."

The company said in a press release that this unification enables ship owners and managers to run critical fleet operations from one platform.

Because BASS runs the SaaS platform end-to-end, customers benefit from lower costs, risks and IT complexity, the company added.

According to the press release, unifying workflows helps shipping companies improve visibility, strengthen vessel-shore collaboration and operate with greater agility and resilience.

The architecture enables seamless delivery of updates, API integrations, and AI-driven benefits, and new AI-powered search/chat and OCR invoice processing help users find information faster and reduce administrative effort.

The company added that the suite:

• Improves asset reliability, compliance, cost control and fleet performance with standardized maintenance planning aligned with ISO 55001, enhanced workflows and automation
• Provides greater visibility and control with simplified coordination, efficient workflows, tighter budget control and a projects app
• Accelerates purchasing cycles and reduces errors with better vessel–shore collaboration, PO-Invoice three-way matching and improved logistics and shipment visibility
• Optimizes fleet inventory through enhanced stock movement and control, location management, inventory accuracy, and optimized stock consolidation
• Strengthens safety, compliance and continuous improvement by streamlining offerings with mobile app support, even when offline, and
• Transforms document management by centralizing content, standardizing workflows and enabling seamless collaboration across fleets.

The company stated that by consolidating critical maritime capabilities into a single cloud-native SaaS platform, BASSnet Neo helps shipping companies be future-ready for the next generation of connected, intelligent fleet management.
