Welcome to the main source of information on the Dataloy product suite. {% hint style="success" %} **🚀 You're viewing the Release 8.33 preview** #### Introducing Positions Find opportunities and move directly to voyage estimation. Positions brings open vessels, unallocated cargoes and voyage estimation into one chartering workspace. Charterers can work with side-by-side vessel and cargo lists alongside an interactive map, using filters such as open date, laycan, DWT, commodity, business unit and trading area to narrow relevant opportunities. From there, a voyage estimation can be created by dragging a vessel onto a cargo, a cargo onto a vessel, or using the quick-create action, with the relevant details carried into the estimation automatically. Opening a vessel position also brings together its current estimations and comments with context from the latest nominated voyage, including remaining bunkers and recently carried cargoes. *Feature available upon request.* #### Commercial & Risk Management Business controllers can configure Result Sharing agreements directly on individual voyages, including multiple counterparties, percentage or lump-sum arrangements, floor and roof thresholds, and loss-sharing rules. Calculated shares are reflected in voyage P\&L, reporting, analytics and snapshots, and can be settled through AP/AR invoicing, helping manage the agreement from calculation through settlement within VMS. Financial users can create multiple (batch) Derivative Lines or Periods in one action by defining the start date, number of periods and duration. This reduces repetitive setup for monthly and other recurring derivative agreements. Controllers can see the External Reference associated with a nominated voyage directly in the Voyage Drawer's Risk section, making it easier to match voyage and risk information with the corresponding record in a connected external system. #### Voyage Alternatives Charterers can enter port costs, loading and discharging rates, and terms once for an optional port and apply them across all alternatives containing that port. Individual alternatives can still override the shared assumptions when required, reducing repetitive setup when comparing voyage scenarios. #### Finance & Smarter Views Flexible filtering for time (date) based workflows for financial checks, invoice reviews, and other time-based workflows now available in advanced filters. This streamlines the processing of large volumes of financial data, making it easier to pinpoint specific records quickly and accurately during accounting cycles. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
