Where Field Experience Meets Systems Engineering
The Vision: Built by Experience, Engineered for Scale
Most inventory systems are built in high-rise offices with fiber-optic connections. They weren't designed for the 250ms latency of a satellite link or the high-pressure environment of an offshore mobilization.
ROV Companion was born from a simple realization: the subsea industry deserves software as rugged as its hardware.
The Founder's Story
With a career spanning years in offshore ROV operations, I’ve experienced the "disconnected" reality firsthand. I’ve seen the frustration of lost spreadsheets, the cost of missing critical spares, and the failure of cloud-based tools the moment the vessel leaves the pier.
"We realized that ROV tech is 21st-century engineering being managed with 20th-century tools."
I didn't just want to fix the data—I wanted to fix the workflow. That required moving away from generic solutions and building a native, industrial-grade architecture from the ground up.
Where the Field Meets the Code
Today, ROV Companion represents the intersection of deep domain expertise and modern systems engineering.
- ROV Companion Lite: The essential field-ready inventory management system.
- ROV Companion: The complete, high-performance operations suite.
- Field-Proven Logic: We understand the hierarchy of ROV systems, the urgency of PMS schedules, and the complexity of global logistics.
- Senior-Level Architecture: Built on the reliability of PostgreSQL and the speed of SQLite, ensuring your data is ACID-compliant and your interface is lightning-fast—online or offline.
Our Vision: The IMCA Standard
In the offshore ROV industry, safety and technical integrity are non-negotiable. At ROV Companion, we strive to meet and exceed the rigorous operational standards established by the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA).
As we develop toward our full release, our goal is to build specialized modules that directly facilitate compliance with the industry's minimum standards:
- IMCA R 004 — ROV Operation: Providing the digital infrastructure for safe ROV operations, preventative maintenance scheduling, and breakdown reporting.
- IMCA R 006 — ROV System Inspection: Automating the detailed logs, certification tracking, and equipment inventories required for industrial inspection audits.
- IMCA R 009 — ROV Mobilisation: Streamlining the mobilization process with integrated checklists and asset verification tools.
By transitioning from manual spreadsheets to our secure, industrial-grade database, you ensure that your fleet's operational data is standardized, audit-ready, and compliant with global best practices from day one.
