Question 1

Can I track vessels the same way as vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Marine assets sit alongside vehicles in one platform, giving you a consistent fleet view across all asset types. You can track vessel location, view movement history, and monitor operational status using the same interface and tools as land-based assets. This unified approach means you do not need separate systems for marine and vehicle tracking—everything is managed together, which simplifies training, reduces costs, and gives you a single source of truth for your entire operation.

Question 2

What kind of documentation can I store?

Accepted Answer

You can store a wide range of marine documentation including safety certificates, operating permits, registration documents, insurance policies, equipment manuals, inspection reports, and compliance certificates. Documents can be attached directly to vessel records, organised by type, and tracked for expiry. When a certificate or permit is approaching its renewal date, the system surfaces this automatically so you can act before deadlines pass. This centralised approach makes audit preparation simpler and ensures documentation is always accessible.

Question 3

Does this support mixed fleets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Yipii is built for vehicle fleets, marine operations, and mixed environments. You can manage cars, vans, trucks, boats, jet skis, and other equipment in the same platform, grouped and filtered as needed. This is valuable for businesses that operate across different asset types—for example, a rental company with both vehicles and boats, or a utility company with trucks and marine craft. Each asset type can have its own custom fields while still appearing in a unified operational view.

Question 4

Can I track maintenance for vessels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Track servicing, engine hours, inspections, and maintenance work for each vessel, just like you would for land-based assets. Set reminders for routine maintenance, record work performed, track parts used, and maintain a clear history for planning and reviews. The system accommodates marine-specific maintenance patterns—such as winterisation, hull cleaning, or engine service intervals—while using the same familiar interface as vehicle maintenance. This makes it easier for teams managing mixed fleets to work consistently.

Question 5

How does marine tracking work operationally?

Accepted Answer

Vessel tracking shows current location on a map, movement history over any time period, and operational patterns such as typical routes, moorings, and activity zones. This visibility helps with operational planning, usage analysis, and security monitoring. You can set up geofences for harbours, restricted areas, or operational zones, and receive alerts when vessels enter or exit these areas. Historical data supports usage analysis and helps you understand how your marine assets are being deployed over time.

Question 6

Can I see vessel usage and operational patterns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Review movement history, trip data, engine hours, and operational activity for each vessel. This information helps with planning, utilisation analysis, and understanding how your marine assets are being used. You can identify underutilised vessels, compare usage across your fleet, and make better decisions about vessel allocation. Historical patterns can inform maintenance scheduling—for example, vessels with high usage may need more frequent service intervals, while low-usage vessels might need different attention.

Question 7

How are marine assets grouped with other fleet assets?

Accepted Answer

Marine assets can be grouped by type, location, operational unit, customer, or any custom grouping you define. They appear in the same fleet view as vehicles and equipment, making it easy to see your entire operation at once or filter to specific asset categories. You can create separate views for marine operations while maintaining a unified platform, or mix marine and land-based assets in the same view when that makes sense for your workflow. Groupings are flexible and can be adjusted as your operation evolves.

Question 8

What reporting is available for marine operations?

Accepted Answer

You can generate reports on vessel activity (trips, hours, distance), maintenance status (completed, due, overdue), document expiry (certificates, permits approaching renewal), and operational summaries by vessel, location, or time period. Reports are exportable in standard formats for internal reviews, compliance documentation, and record-keeping. This makes it straightforward to prepare reports for regulators, insurers, or internal management without manually compiling data from multiple sources.
