Three apps, one harbour
- Boat Owners: register your boats, join your association, record the catch and run your auction, then allocate it to the traders you choose.
- Traders: follow the auctions at your harbour, pick the batch you want, bid in real time, and get a summary of everything you won.
- Financiers: stay across the boats you back, follow their auctions and complete the allocation on their behalf when needed.
The association, run from a phone
Everything a fishermen's association handles on paper today, kept in one place: members, join requests and self-defined roles; membership dues and event fees collected in the app with a receipt for every payment; events pushed straight to every member's phone; boats registered against their owners with ownership transfers tracked.
The harbour auction, in real time
Boats check in and record the catch: species, grade, weight and quantity. Batches and a shared countdown keep everyone in sync. Bidding is closed and real time, so no trader sees another trader's price. The boat owner allocates the catch across as many traders as they like, and everyone leaves with a PDF summary.
Boatbrain Hub: know where your boat is
A small device on board keeps you connected to your boat, even when the boat isn't connected to anything. See where it is now and where it has been, trip by trip. Get alerted if it leaves a safe area, loses power or goes quiet. It keeps recording out at sea with no signal, and catches up the moment it's back in range. Weather for your stretch of coast, in the app before you head out.
Built for India's coast
Every screen, auction alert and event update arrives in the language each member chose: English, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam or Odia.
