EFFORWAI DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION SL

Yacht Work List (YWL) is a SaaS online backoffice & App software that helps Superyacht owners (more than 20 meters length) to manage their job listings efficiently in an ERP system in the cloud, to which all their representatives, including management companies, have access and in which they can share relevant information with shipyards to improve information flow.

Yacht Work List has born from the sailing, management and IT experience and expertise with the clear picture of improving the Yacht Work List management, from the first stages of each Work Order to the most complex refit, sharing the information with the key stakeholders and optimizing the Team Communication.

Whether from aboard or the office, a fixed computer or a mobile device, at the airport or in the shipyard, YWL allows users to work online and more efficiently without losing sight of the main objective, to obtain an unified real picture of critical information, updated to the minute throughout the organization.
