Wayfinder
SMS Search & Compliance

Find your way through the SMS.

A Safety Management System is only as useful as it is findable. Wayfinder ingests any SMS — Word, PDF, Excel, MadCap Flare — and turns it into one live system your crew can search in plain language, in their own language, and get the right procedure back in seconds.

The Shift

From a Word doc nobody trusts to a chart everyone reads.

Most fleets still manage their SMS as a Word document — track changes, email sign-off, then a manual push to every ship. Between revisions, nobody's quite sure who's on the latest copy. Wayfinder replaces the file with a system: edit once, approve once, and every vessel is reading the same live procedure immediately.

Before
One file, redistributed by hand
With Wayfinder
One system, live everywhere at once
Why It Works

Built around how your crew actually needs to use it.

01

Instant Answers

Keyword or AI-assisted search across your entire SMS, structured by TMSA element — ask a question in plain language, get the exact section back.

02

Closed-Loop Communication

Circulars dispatched fleet-wide with per-crew acknowledgement tracking, so a safety bulletin is confirmed read, not just sent.

03

Proven Competency

SMS comprehension quizzes triggered on sign-on or a refresh interval confirm understanding — not just distribution.

Grounded, Not Guessing

A wrong answer fixes the manual, not just the search.

Most "AI search" stops at giving you an answer. Wayfinder's AI is grounded in your own SMS text, not a generic guess — and when someone flags an answer as wrong, that feedback can route straight into a review of the underlying procedure, not just a search-quality tweak.

Crew searches
"fire flap valve nahi close ho raha" — in Hinglish, no translation needed first.
Wayfinder answers
A grounded summary of the exact governing procedure, translated back into the crew member's language.
If it's wrong
A 👎 routes either to "the AI got confused" or "the SMS procedure itself needs updating."
Result
The manual gets fixed at the source — not just the one search result.
