If your work is handwritten or paper-based, only you can access it. And ensuring that your colleagues view that work at the exact moment that it is relevant to their job is extremely difficult, if not impossible. The job for which you need a certain piece of information, approving the charterer’s suggested discharge range, for example, is not linked to information that has already been recorded by others in the company.
Which means that you do not have the necessary information in front of you at the moment you are making your decision on the discharge ports.
Task Assistant has been designed to automatically distribute information from one person’s work to the other people who might need it in the future. If anybody has documented information on a specific port, for example, the chartering manager can access that information before approving the discharge range.
Task Assistant “knows” what task you are doing, and will make your work available to others who will need it to complete their work. Task Assistant also ‘knows” what tasks all your colleagues are doing throughout your company; your work is made available to them, and their work available to you, at the time of need.
