Instead of Layline

Stop renting Layline. Own your laytime and claims desk.

We build your version around your charter review and claim follow-up, bring supported Layline statements across and run it for you. Your analyst keeps control of the contractual decisions.

Layline lists $1,000 per analyst per month, or $12,000 for twelve monthly payments. Its pricing block does not specify the dollar currency. Compare that tariff with your actual contract.

What the analyst subscription covers

You pay for the statement workflow every month

Layline includes calculation and document-reading features in its analyst subscription. Choose the supported calculation and records work you want to own, then agree the rest of your version around your contracts.

person

An analyst seat

The public price is $1,000 per month for an analyst seat. Check the currency and commercial terms in your own agreement before comparing costs.

description

Reading the statement of facts

Layline advertises document extraction. Your version can begin with its exported statement and retain the events beside the original evidence.

fact_check

Reviewing the extracted events

The Layline worksheet lets an analyst check event times, counting flags and factors. Your desk keeps those source values separate from the terms approved for a calculation.

calculate

Counting time against the charter

Layline advertises several calculation modes. The free base handles fixed allowances and separately settled port calls with reviewed exclusions. We scope other arrangements around your actual work.

Preparing the statement

Layline provides an exportable statement. Your own desk produces a branded working statement, its interval ledger and the recorded evidence behind it.

support_agent

Keeping the workflow supported

Layline includes direct support in its analyst offer. With your version, Enterprise DNA can look after the database, reports and agreed changes through an ongoing retainer.

Bring your history

Start with one checked Layline statement

Reconcile a representative port call before moving the working process.

  1. 1

    Export the original statement

    Open the Layline worksheet and export the complete statement to a text-based PDF. Keep the charter and signed statement of facts with it.

  2. 2

    Reconcile the imported records

    Create the voyage, confirm its currency from the contract and do a test import. Compare every event and the event count with the original statement.

  3. 3

    Review a supported calculation

    Record the agreed commencement, completion, allowance and exclusion windows. Have the analyst review the result and draft statement before bringing across the remaining supported calls.

construction

Where the real effort goes

Other layouts, pooled voyage calculations and records outside the statement need a scoped migration or custom implementation. Begin with a representative case and preserve the original evidence.

Questions

Instead of Layline, answered

What does Layline cost compared with owning our version? expand_more

Layline publishes an analyst seat at $1,000 per month. Twelve monthly payments total $12,000, with the dollar currency unspecified in the pricing block. The free base has no licence fee; running and maintaining it still takes work. Enterprise DNA charges a setup fee and an ongoing retainer for the agreed managed version.

Can we bring our existing Layline work across? expand_more

The free version imports a supported text-based PDF from the Layline worksheet export. It checks the event count and retains the original statement. Your analyst then reviews the contract terms and exclusions before calculating. Scanned statements, other layouts and records absent from the PDF need an agreed migration.

Will it handle every charter arrangement we have? expand_more

The free base handles fixed allowances, separate port settlements and despatch on working time saved. Your analyst supplies the valid commencement and reviewed exclusion windows. Enterprise DNA scopes additional arrangements, document capture and review screens around your contracts, then tests them against cases your analyst has checked.

Who decides whether an exclusion or claim is valid? expand_more

Your analyst does, using the charter and source evidence. The desk records that review and shows the calculation. It does not determine legal liability, submit claims or agree settlements. Changes invalidate approval so an old figure cannot appear as the current amount.

Can you operate it for us after it is built? expand_more

Yes. Omni by Enterprise DNA installs and operates your agreed version, maintains the reports and brings the claim round into your working rhythm. Your team retains the contractual decisions. We start with your actual statements, deadlines and review process.
