The new nautical season is here: How FIRA follows SeaHelp on the waves

The new tourist and nautical season on the Adriatic is officially underway. Thousands of sailors will soon unfurl their sails, and with the increasing number of vessels at sea, safety becomes an absolute priority.

This is where our customer – SeaHelp, a leading maritime relief organization, comes in. We are proud that FIRA can support their noble work and make it easier for them to do business where it is most challenging – right on the waves.

Who is SeaHelp and what do they actually do?

For those who may not yet know, SeaHelp is the nautical equivalent of road-based car and motorcycle clubs, specializing exclusively in assistance at sea. Their mission is clear: to provide fast, professional and reliable assistance to boaters in distress.

SeaHelp's distinctive yellow fleet is always ready for rapid intervention, no matter the challenge:

• •Towing the vessel to the nearest safe harbor
• •Delivery of fuel and emergency spare parts
• •Solving engine starting problems
• •Releasing lightly stranded vessels

With their strategic presence along the coast, they ensure that every boater can enjoy their vacation without worry, knowing that professional help is just a call or a click away on their app.

Field challenge: Each vessel as a standalone business space

In order for SeaHelp's fleet to function flawlessly and quickly in the field, they need equally fast and reliable administration. This is where our successful collaboration begins.

In offshore operations, flexibility and mobility are key. A distinctive feature of SeaHelp's daily work is that invoices for services rendered are most often issued directly on site – at sea. To ensure legal compliance and administrative simplicity, each SeaHelp intervention vessel legally functions as a separate business premises.

The FIRA application allows the crew to quickly and easily issue an invoice after a successful intervention. Thanks to our advanced settings, each invoice is automatically linked to the specific vessel (business premises) from which it was issued, following the correct numerical sequence.

This has reduced bureaucracy in the field to a minimum, accounting has been automated, and compliance with strict fiscalization regulations is 100%.

Ready for new maritime challenges

While the brave SeaHelp team focuses on what they do best – rescuing, assisting and ensuring the safety of boaters – FIRA ensures that their invoicing and financial administration runs smoothly and stress-free.

We wish the entire SeaHelp team an extremely successful season, calm seas and safe sailing!
