Rounds & scheduling
Create repeatable routes, daily watch times, crew assignments and published schedules so responsibility is defined before the round begins.
Smeaton Platform
Operational verification, built around the vessel.
Smeaton connects crew scheduling, secure NFC checkpoints, round execution, issue reporting and operational evidence in one system — from what was planned to what physically happened onboard.
The operational core
Everything required to verify the round.
Smeaton is built around the real sequence of vessel operations: define what should happen, allocate responsibility, verify physical attendance, capture exceptions and preserve the evidence for later review.
Secure NFC checkpoints
Link physical locations around the yacht to digital checkpoints with ordering, instructions, location imagery and optional mandatory questions.
Crew round execution
The assigned crew member walks the route, scans each checkpoint and records completion using the mobile app during the permitted operating window.
Issue & observation reporting
When a problem is found, crew can record the issue at the checkpoint with written detail and photographic evidence linked to the round.
Offline-first operation
Rounds can continue during temporary loss of connectivity, with scan and completion data queued locally and synchronised after reconnecting.
Audit-ready history
Keep timestamps, checkpoint results, responsible users, reported issues and round outcomes connected so management can review the evidence later.
Offline-first
Built for the reality of operating at sea.
A loss of internet connectivity should not decide whether an important onboard round can be carried out. Smeaton caches the operational information needed for assigned rounds and can queue scans, issues and completion data until the device reconnects.
48hCurrent offline-operation limit before connectivity must be restored.
What the platform retains
Evidence beneath every result.
A simple score is useful only when the operational evidence behind it can be inspected. Smeaton keeps the round connected to the people, times, checkpoints and exceptions that produced the result.
Scheduled roundRoute, date, assigned user and planned watch time.
First scanWhen the round physically began relative to its scheduled start.
Checkpoint historyWhich required NFC checkpoints were physically attended and when.
Reported issuesDescriptions, photographs and checkpoint context for faults or exceptions.
Round outcomeCompleted, partial or missed status together with timing and score information.
Responsible personThe crew member assigned to and performing the operational round.
Smeaton Mobile
Simple for the crew. Structured behind the scenes.
The mobile app gives the assigned crew member only what they need to complete the round: the route, checkpoint order, instructions and issue-reporting tools.
The platform handles the evidence, timestamps and operational context in the background.
