Everything you need
Four pillars of crew operations, unified.
Built for crewing managers, compliance officers, payroll teams, and vessel masters - in a single, fast, modern workspace.
Crew planning
Seafarer Lifecycle
Profiles, documents, certificates, and sea service history. From onboarding to revalidation, every record lives in one place.
- Profile and search
- Contracts and assignments
- Crew document compliance
- Sea service history
- Notes and next of kin
- Auto import of Performance reports
Vessel Planning
See every rotation on one visual timeline
Plan crew changes on a visual timeline that shows every position, every contract, and every handover at a glance:
- Overlap and gap detection across every rank and slot
- Quick-assign with rank-filtered seafarer search
- Auto-prefilled sign-on dates based on the previous rotation
- Bar status transitions from a right-click context menu
- Choose your own bar color scheme
Contracts & Payroll
Contracts and payroll, linked end-to-end
Generate contracts, process payroll, and produce payslips - all linked and traceable. Reconciliation that used to take days now takes minutes.
- Contract templates
- Accumulated leave pay paid out automatically at contract close
- Versioned payslip PDFs with a frozen snapshot for the audit trail
Application Portal
RiteCrew Apply
The seafarer application portal that turns paper CVs and email chains into a clean, online file your recruiters can act on. Passwordless sign-in, encrypted EU document storage, real-time status. Approved applicants land directly in the RiteCrew CRM - no double entry, no lost paperwork.
Automation
Vessel Transaction Import
RiteCrew imports financial transactions directly from your vessels' PDF reports. Cash advances, Slop Chest deductions, and on-board expenses flow into payroll without manual entry - eliminating reconciliation errors and saving hours every payroll cycle.

Built at sea. Proven worldwide.
RiteCrew is a crew management platform created by Rite Software OÜ, an Estonian company dedicated to building modern maritime software.
Built through direct collaboration with active vessel operators - not in isolation, but aboard real ships, solving real problems. Today, RiteCrew manages crew operations across multiple flag states and three continents.
That close partnership with the people who actually run fleets is what makes RiteCrew different. Every feature exists because an operator needed it, every workflow was validated at sea, and every update reflects the realities of maritime crew management.
How it works
From open position to closed payroll in four steps.
Every step connected. Every record traceable. No manual handoffs.
Plan Crew Demand
Define positions & requirements
Define vessel positions and staffing requirements in one view. Set up role-level needs, required certifications, and deployment timelines before you start matching.
Match & Assign
Filter by readiness
Filter seafarers by qualifications, certificate readiness, and availability to fill positions fast. No more digging through spreadsheets to find who's available.
Create Contracts
Structured & traceable
Generate structured contracts with key dates, terms, and assignment records. Every contract links to the seafarer, the vessel, and the position - fully traceable.
Run Payroll
Accurate & auditable
Process payroll periods, manage transactions, and produce payslips accurately. Everything ties back to the contract, so reconciliation takes minutes, not hours.
