Voly, a leading name in financial management solutions for yachting, has announced the relaunch of its mobile app, revolutionizing how yacht captains and crew manage their finances on the go.
Two years’ on from its initial launch, the app has undergone a revamp with new features and a fresh new look. Captains and crew can now experience a smarter, more user-friendly interface, equipped with improved functionality aimed at simplifying the often-tedious task of financial management, on board and on shore.
Core features include real-time expense tracking, simplified accounting procedures, and multi-currency support, as well as offline functionality enabling users to log transactions even in areas with limited connectivity.
One of the newest features allows users to upload PDF files directly from a mobile device and crop and rotate receipts with an integrated editing tool. Crew can also now allocate expenses with an in-app split line function and instantly load and unload cards with funds.
Other new additions include a pin reveal tool, offering a convenient solution for users who may have forgotten their pin (it happens) and cards can be managed directly within the app, including the option to suspend cards immediately in the event of loss or theft.
“The new Voly mobile app is built by the yachting industry for the yachting industry,” Voly Group founder and CEO Ian Flanagan says. “Over the last two years we’ve consulted with yacht captains and crew, some of the largest yacht management companies and family offices in the industry in order to build and relaunch the all-new Voly yachting mobile app. It will help save crew more time and ultimately making their working lives on the go a lot easier.”
Rob Shanks, Voly Group CTO, adds, "We’ve completely reconstructed the new app on a modern API-driven platform, enabling faster development of future features and ensuring its dynamism and responsiveness is parallel to the Voly web app. Incorporating additional features such as biometrics enhances security across all devices, reaffirming our commitment to safeguarding client data and funds for ultimate peace of mind."
The app is available for download on both Apple and Android platforms. volygroup.com
