Vessel requisition
Record part, service or consumable needs with vessel, department, priority and required date.
Move procurement out of email chains.
In maritime procurement, a need arises at sea, technical staff validates it, shore teams collect quotes, management approves and delivery may occur at another port. Context is easily lost when this chain runs through email and spreadsheets.
Faromo connects every step under the same request number. The pending owner, supplier selection reason, delivery location and vessel cost context remain visible.

Frequently asked questions
Can a vessel create a request while offline?
Yes. A request can be recorded onboard and moves into the shore workflow in a controlled way when connectivity returns.
Can approval limits be configured?
Different approval levels can be configured by amount, currency, category, vessel or role.
Are partial deliveries supported?
Yes. Order lines can be received in different quantities or dates while the open balance remains visible.
Can a procurement request be linked to maintenance?
Yes. A part required for a work order or equipment can link directly to the procurement request.
