The Challenge

The Challenge of Managing Ocean Big Data

Today’s offshore projects are slowed down by broken data workflows and disconnected tools:

Fragmented Data Landscape

Data is scattered across local servers, hard drives, and departments, with no single source of truth.

Slow, Manual Data Transfer

From vessel to office to final deliverable, it simply takes too long to access, review, and deliver data products.

Too Many Formats, Too Many Tools

Dozens of incompatible file types and missing standards require switching between multiple software suites, causing inefficiency and data loss.

Difficult to Visualize & Share

Complex 2D/3D underwater data is hard to interpret and nearly impossible to share seamlessly across internal teams and external partners.

Our Solution

How We Fix the Ocean Big Data Landscape 

Our platform provides structure, accessibility, and clarity to your ocean data operations, turning complexity into insight.

Scalable Storage Solution

Secure, cloud-agnostic  infrastructure that grows with your project: no more scattered hard drives or expensive local servers.

40+ Supported File Types

Work seamlessly across survey, geophysical, and engineering formats: see the full list of supported file types.

3D Preview in Your Browser

xplore multibeam, sidescan, and point cloud data instantly in 2D & 3D - without specialized software.

Easy Data Search

Find the data set your looking for in seconds using our spatial search (GeoSearch).

User Rights & Roles Management

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to secure collaboration at every stage.

Easy Data Transfer & API Support

Streamline uploads, downloads, and system integrations with fast file transfer tools and open APIs.
