General Cargo Planning
Program Customization
Every company has its own business structure, priorities and routines. We believe that the professional software must be able to adapt to the way how company runs its business, but not vice versa.
With that in mind, we have built great flexibility in to SimpleStow GC to enable the user to customize working environment to his needs and preferences.
The program initially is supplied with the default layout and settings that are workable and generic to most operations. If needed, the user can make his own adjustments and custom settings, such as:
- change the desktop layout, size and positions of the program windows;
- select custom color-coding schemes;
- set up custom layout and content of cargo properties to be shown in the stowage plan separately for the screen and the printed reports;
- set up the view and the order of data columns in the Cargo List;
- add custom cargo properties, characteristics and flags in the program;
- maintain and use custom cargo types database;
- configure automatic stowage rules;
- configure the checks for possible stowage conflicts;
- select units of measurement for different cargo parameters;
- set up custom EDI formats for importing cargo and voyage data;
- set up the default location of data files and saved stowage plans;
- create and maintain own collection of ship models with the desired level of accuracy and details;
- and the last, but not least, add the company’s name and/or logo in the reports headings.
Customizing the program is simple. All the settings the user can do by himself within the SimpleStow GC program interface with the aid of menus, intuitive forms and interactive wizards.
On the corporate level, the custom pre-set working environment in SimpleStow GC can be easily replicated on all computers by distributing one file that contains all the program settings and templates.
