In the nautical sector, mobile applications have become essential tools that address operational and safety challenges. They allow boat owners, charter companies, and marinas to manage processes, provide passengers with relevant information, and ensure safer voyages. Rather than offering generic apps with limited features, Prolink builds solutions based on real workflows and actual sea conditions. Our starting point is not a template but an in-depth analysis of how you operate and where technology can deliver the greatest value.
Navigation as the core functionality
Accurate navigation is at the heart of any nautical app, but industry needs go far beyond simply displaying charts and a GPS point. Modern apps we develop use interactive maps with dynamic route planning, integration with onboard systems, and offline functionality. The Ionic framework allows us to deliver the same solution for Android and iOS without compromising performance or design. This ensures that skippers and crews have a stable tool that works equally well on a cabin tablet or a smartphone in hand.
Integrated weather analysis
Our applications can display weather data from multiple sources, including specialized meteorological services and onboard sensor systems. Instead of static forecasts, users get updated data on wind, waves, tides, and currents, along with automated alerts when conditions change along the planned route. The Ionic framework enables fast API integration and a responsive interface that presents critical information clearly, even on smaller screens – essential in emergency situations.
Real-time digital logistics
For fleet management or marina operations, a mobile application must be as effective as the central management system. Our approach includes tools for booking, vessel status tracking, maintenance scheduling, and logbook management. With Ionic, all functions are available on both platforms with a unified visual identity and fast response times. The result is a system that connects shore offices and crews at sea without adding administrative complexity.
Safety features without compromise
Safety at sea must not depend on signal quality or app complexity. The solutions we build include SOS functions, location sharing, contact with coastal services, and finding the nearest harbor or shelter. Ionic ensures consistent behavior on both Android and iOS devices, while code optimization keeps the app fast and responsive even under poor network conditions.
Technology and delivery process
We use the Ionic framework because it enables us to develop applications for both major mobile platforms with full UI and performance customization. This means faster delivery, lower maintenance requirements, and easier feature upgrades. Our process includes needs analysis, functional specification, UI design, development, real-world testing, and publishing on Google Play and the App Store. After delivery, we provide continuous support and the ability to adapt the app as your business or technology changes.
