AVS launches platform to centralise vessel procurement

AVS Global Ship Supply has launched AVS+, a web-based platform integrating vessel procurement, expenditure, inventory and operational records into a single system.

The platform allows ship managers to manage orders for provisions, technical stores and port services, with standardised ordering templates and order tracking covering each stage of the supply process.

Fleet information is accessible through map and list views, with vessel-specific records and invoices held in a central repository.

AVS+ also allows procurement and catering requirements to be set across a fleet, including target victualling rates, portion weights and supply lead times, with individual vessels able to operate under different parameters.

Reporting functions cover consumption, budget performance, price history and catering analysis, with data exportable to PDF and Excel formats.

Doğukan Şimşek, General Manager at AVS Global Ship Supply, said: “Procurement teams are often managing a large volume of information across different vessels, ports and supply requirements, but much of that information has traditionally been spread across separate emails, spreadsheets and systems.”

The platform also incorporates onboard inventory management, allowing stock levels to be monitored alongside purchasing and consumption data.
