Requisitions From Vessel To Approval To Receipt
A complete draft-to-receipt trail with attachments provides an auditable purchasing record.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Requisitions lost in email have no approval trail and no confirmed receipt, so shore never knows what is ordered or arrived.
The traditional approach
Email-and-spreadsheet purchasing with no connection to spares, stores, or the budgets it draws down.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
A full requisition lifecycle—draft, submit, approve, order, receive—with approval tiers, basket ordering, a supplier catalog, and lines fed from PMS and stores.
Time back
Spares and stores raise requisition lines directly, so purchasing stops rebuilding orders from emails.
Less waste
Approval tiers and spend visibility control fleet purchasing and expose duplicate ordering.
Lower risk
A complete draft-to-receipt trail with attachments provides an auditable purchasing record.

Questions before you commit
Can PMS generate procurement requests?
Yes. Spare parts and store modules feed draft requisitions into procurement so purchasing reflects real needs.
Are there approval tiers?
Yes. Requisitions route through configurable approval tiers before an order is placed.
Where do goods get received?
Receipt can be into vessel inventory or a warehouse location; check the receive destination to keep stock accurate.
Can I see fleet spend?
Yes. Spend statistics give visibility of purchasing across vessels and categories.
