JFT Venture - Consulting with character for start-ups, scale-ups and corporations
The SalvageApp optimizes communication and supports the handling of crises. From the idea to scaling, it shows how strategic expertise and targeted investment can turn a strong vision into a success story.
The SalvageApp was developed in 2019 in response to a key problem in maritime claims processing: a lack of transparency and inefficient communication between the many parties involved. Initiated by the bMC GROUP, a digital solution was created that significantly simplifies workflows in the event of shipping accidents – practical, intuitive and internationally applicable.
SalvageApp is a web-based platform that brings together all relevant information on a salvage or damage event in a structured manner. It enables real-time updates, progress reports, cost overviews and forecasts – all in one central location. Stakeholders such as owners, insurers or surveyors have access to all decision-relevant data at all times.
SalvageApp meets the highest standards in terms of data security and is already used by well-known insurers, P&I Clubs and claims service providers. The application is regarded in the industry as best practice for modern, digital claims coordination in the maritime sector.
The app is also used worldwide in complex shipping accidents, accidents and salvage projects – especially where various players need to be coordinated and processes documented. Whether in the North Sea, the Mediterranean or a major international port, SalvageApp has established itself as a reliable tool in critical situations.
