The need for Innovation

Seatrix has been founded by Costas Galanakis in 2017.

“The modern world is changing with a very fast pace. Innovation is needed in order to be competitive and profitable”

A business needs people and the correct tools to collaborate.

IT technology is the new age foundation for a successful business.

Do you understand the difference between data and information?

The core idea behind building a good software is to easily obtain data. When you process data and integrate them with time honored traditions then you get information.
When the management has correct information it can act accordingly and plan or even prevent a problem.
If you know your business well , then need tailor made solutions to fit to your style. There is no such thing as software which fits everyone needs.

The idea of a Maritime Ecosystem

Seatrix has been built with the sole purpose of providing the maritime sector with a software which will act as an ecosystem where maritime companies and companies that service them interact effortlessly

We believe that the maritime sector is very competitive and over regulated. For shipping companies to survive and thrive , they need operations manuals which are interconnected with their operations improving performance , minimizing errors , protecting their investment and the environment

About the company

Seatrix is the brain child of Costantinos Galanakis.

Back in 2001 when he finished his studies, he joined his father ,crew management company which was founded in 1977. While trying to understand how an operation is been run and the intricacies of the shipping sector , it was quite obvious from the start that people were playing a significant role in the operation and profitability of the company.

Being a visionary he anticipated that the future will bring more regulations to the shipping sector, thus complicate the daily operations. He got actively involved on the daily operations in order to understand all the minor details that make a business run. He noticed that in almost on all aspects of the job, people were spending a lot of time doing repetitive jobs and even duplicating jobs of other people , due to the lack of proper documentation and the lack of a common data system. He then set a goal to interconnect the HQ with the branch offices with a commonly used tool, in order to share information between people who had different culture and different languages.

He started slowly inserting all the data gathered from various business sources having in mind that acquiring data is necessary goal but not the end. He then started converting data to information and the information was then given to the management for proper decision making.

Gradually he incorporated the know-how of the previous generations into the evolving system, thus enabling young people performing duties that previously required a lot of experience and knowledge. This was a revelation due to the fact that the system was not eliminating the human factor but rather was eliminating the human errors and providing instant knowledge to people who didn’t necessarily had years of experience.
