Complete supported mobile tasks without internet. Records are sent when connectivity returns, with pending and completed items visible in the app.

High latency, low bandwidth and complete disconnection are not exceptions at sea. Systems that require constant connectivity push crews toward paper, screenshots and delayed entry.

Faromo keeps required work data locally, queues completed records and synchronizes them in order when connectivity returns. Shore can monitor last sync and pending status.

## Local data scope

Keep tasks, forms and effective documents required for daily work available onboard.

## Low bandwidth

Prioritize transfers based on core records and attachment status.

## Queue visibility

Users clearly see pending, transferred or failed records.

## Resume after interruption

Completed work remains queued without loss when the connection drops.

## Shore monitoring

Authorized shore teams monitor last synchronization and pending records.

## Audit trail

Creation on device, transfer and server processing remain traceable.

## Workflow

1. Prepare the vessel: Users, tasks and references enter the local scope.
2. Work offline: The crew completes maintenance and operational records.
3. Monitor status: The state of records in the sync queue remains visible.
4. Reconcile with shore: Transferred records update shared data and reporting.

## Does offline mode work with no internet at all?

Tasks, forms and documents already in local scope remain available; new shore data waits until connectivity returns.

## How are attachments synchronized?

Record and attachment status can be tracked separately, allowing large files to transfer later based on connectivity.

## Which devices are supported?

Scope is planned around web and mobile workflows; vessel devices, browsers and connectivity are validated during the pilot.

## When does shore see an offline record?

The record transfers when connectivity returns, is accepted by the server and becomes visible ashore according to user permissions.
