In maritime shipping, change has always been part of the journey. But today, it’s not just the pace of change that challenges us—it’s the compounding nature of that change across technology, geopolitics, environmental policy, and market dynamics.

This complexity demands more than isolated tools or legacy processes. It demands a cohesive, resilient foundation. At Veson, we believe a trusted platform matters more than ever—because in a world of volatility, the right platform doesn’t just support your business. It stabilizes it, strengthens it, and propels it forward.

Here’s what makes a platform truly trusted—and how Veson is delivering on that promise for over 38,000 users worldwide.

1. It Connects Openly in a World of Risk

Today’s trade flows are global, real-time, and interconnected. That complexity creates risk—but also opportunity. A truly trusted platform is a connected platform—a single source of truth.

That’s why Veson has invested heavily in robust integration capabilities and partnerships with technology providers across the industry. We focus on enabling unified workflows across the full maritime contract lifecycle—from pre-fixture to post-fixture, chartering to finance. No brittle connectors, no patchwork fixes. Just streamlined, purpose-built functionality. Through these collaborative integrations, we offer a rich, turnkey, and well-supported experience to our clients. In fact, Veson has quite literally thousands of integrations (over 2,500, at last count) to hundreds of software and data products —likely more than any maritime software vendor out there. Others would lead you to believe otherwise because it fits their narrative. But the reality of our platform is one of connections and data moving back and forth as commerce dictates.

Perhaps more important, however, is our open API framework. This gives clients the freedom to integrate Veson solutions with third-party systems, bespoke models, and enterprise platforms—without sacrificing speed, security, or data integrity. As these bi-directional connections can be both unique and very complex, we also have a team with deep maritime ERP, CTRM and accounting system integration expertise to set clients up for success.  We also work with a select group of key partners to deliver preconfigured, out-of-the-box integrations that clients and partners can just enable.

In a world where interoperability is mission-critical, our platform is designed to meet you where you are—and grow with you.

2. It Delivers Unified Security

Connectivity without security is a risk multiplier. That’s why security is embedded into every layer of the Veson platform—from our cloud-native infrastructure to the user-level permissions that govern system access.

Our architecture supports zero-trust principles and continuous monitoring, ensuring data privacy, access control, and platform resiliency at scale. When you rely on Veson, you’re not just getting capability—you’re getting confidence that your workflows, data, and decisions are protected.

3. It Evolves Cohesively

In many organizations, products and the resulting integrations evolve in silos—resulting in fragmented workflows, duplicative tools, and mounting technical debt. Veson takes a different approach.

Our platform is shaped not by individual whims, but by real-world feedback from a diverse and global client base. In addition to a continuous review of support requests, client success reports, and system usage reviews, our product development team also spends countless days on the road meeting directly with clients to better understand their challenges and needs.

Organizations will, of course, rely on multiple technology and data providers to meet their business needs, centralizing a few key areas around a core platform allows you to selectively invest in other best in class products. While APIs provide valuable flexibility, native workflows across a core platform will be inherently more secure, more capable, and lower risk. As the industry evolves and navigates—market volatility, decarbonization, digitalization, and compliance (among others)—so does Veson. But we evolve as one core platform, not as a series of independent pieces.

4. It Develops Efficiently

Efficiency isn’t just about speed—it’s about focus. Our product roadmap is grounded in purpose, not novelty. We prioritize enhancements that deliver outsized value: reducing workload, increasing visibility, and accelerating decision-making across chartering, operations, finance, and analytics.

Thanks to our unified architecture, we avoid duplicating functionality. Features are built once, deployed broadly, and designed for immediate relevance. This allows us to move fast—while preserving consistency and performance.

5. It Unifies Data for Action

Data is the most valuable asset in today’s maritime landscape—but only if it’s validated, contextual, and actionable.

Through years of investment, targeted, strategic acquisition, and client-driven refinement, we’ve built the industry’s most robust, trusted maritime data set. This includes valuations, vessel specs, commodity flows, emissions intelligence, and voyage performance metrics—sourced from Veson products such as Oceanbolt, VesselsValue, and Q88 as well as industry integrations with data partners like the Baltic and Bloomberg. Many of our data sets overlap from multiple sources, which allows us to validate more thoroughly than other providers in the industry.

Equally as important as maritime market data is the internal data unique to each of our clients. Veson specializes in bringing structure to that data—the emails, documents, communications, and more that require constant organization and prioritization.  Furthermore, for more than 20 years we have kept client data private, protected and proprietary.

We bring all that data—internal and external—directly to the point of decision. Whether during pre-fixture negotiations, mid-fixture route changes, or post-fixture financial settlements, relevant information at the right moment enables stronger decisions.

6. It Simplifies the Experience

While the platform needs to be comprehensive, the experience doesn’t have to be complicated.

Beginning with onboarding, Veson aims to make the lift as light as possible for our clients. Completing thousands of implementations in the last two decades, our expert consultants know how to simplify the process for even the most complex ecosystems. It is in vogue today to gloss over the change management required to shift systems. Veson’s approach is unique to each client and born from 22 years of experience with clients and the challenges and opportunities each client brings to the table.

Beyond implementation, 100% of clients have a regular cadence of support with their dedicated team across client success and services, and 70% of clients invest further in strategic projects with our expert consultants—we complete hundreds of those unique engagements every year.

The Platform That Propels Maritime Commerce

At Veson, our goal has never been to be just another vendor. It’s why we partner with clients and not just customers. We’re delivering the standard platform that propels maritime commerce—and doing so with the clarity, stability, and adaptability our clients need to lead in a turbulent world.

This isn’t just about strategy, or platform architecture, or industry headlines. I’ve spent over a decade at Veson working closely with our clients across every region and function. I’ve seen firsthand the decisions they face, the pressure they navigate, and the resilience they demonstrate.

We talk often at Veson about “client value.” It’s not a catchphrase. It’s our compass. It’s what defines success—not just for us, but for you. And that’s why we’ll continue to invest, listen, improve, and push forward—because your success is what powers global trade.

In this new era of shipping, where complexity is the climate, a trusted platform isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a competitive imperative.
