What it is
Mintra OCS HR is crew management software for shipping and offshore businesses, covering employee records, rotations, competence, training, travel and payroll. Mintra offers it as a cloud solution or local installation. Personnel records can include passport and seaman’s book details, employment, qualifications, visas, work permits and payroll information. Planning and Rotation provides graphical schedules for individuals or crews, with drag-and-drop tools for managing crew changes. Competence requirements can be set by role, vessel type and flag state, with compliance status reflecting changes in jurisdictions or operations. Connections with external training providers can load course calendars; links to Trainingportal support course bookings and eLearning. Travel Booking uses rotation plans and operation schedules to support requests through integrated travel agencies. Payroll supports multiple currencies, generates bank files and can connect to ERP and accounting systems. Crew On Board maintains an onboard database that can work without continuous internet access and replicate data with the shore database when connected. Self Service lets employees manage certificates, book courses, plan careers, access procedures, record hours and overtime, and submit travel expenses. Insights uses Microsoft Power BI for dashboards; its standard refresh is once daily, with more frequent updates available on request. Pricing is on request.
