Validate your highest-impact workflows before committing to a full platform build.
Most teams start with a roadmap.
We start with something real.
In 21 days, you get a working prototype your team can use, test, and evaluate before committing to a full build.
- Led by a senior solution architect — not handed off to a junior team
- Own the prototype, architecture, and workflow design from day one
- No vendor lock-in, black box, or proprietary platform constraints
- Apply the full $7,500 sprint toward your production build
- Built specifically for maritime operations — vessels, shipments, ETAs, and handoffs
You don’t need a full build to make a confident decision.
WHAT MARITIME LEADERS ARE BUILDING
What you can build in 21 days and where it delivers the fastest ROI
We’ve worked with maritime teams across operations, logistics, and finance.
These are the highest-impact starting points we consistently see.
Operational Visibility & Control
A single operational view of shipments, workflows, and financial milestones
ERP systems, CRM pipelines, shipment tracking, finance/invoicing platforms
Fragmented data and lack of real-time visibility slow down decision-making
Workflow Execution & Automation
Automated workflows and approvals across teams
Order-to-cash approvals, shipment milestones, exception handling, ops-finance coordination
Manual coordination leads to delays, missed steps, and operational inefficiencies
Shipment Operations Platform (Core System)
A modern platform to track shipments and operations end-to-end
Vessels, shipments, operational stages, milestone events, status updates
Existing tools don’t provide a centralized system to manage operations holistically

Before You Decide
Common questions.
We start by identifying the highest-impact workflow in your operations — where better visibility, coordination, or automation would deliver the most value.
From there, we run a focused session to align on your systems, data, and success criteria.
Over the next 21 days, we design and build a working prototype tailored to your workflows — not a generic solution.
By the end, you have something you can actually use, test with your team, and evaluate before committing to a full platform build.
A platform is a system where your actual maritime operations run — not just where they are tracked or reported.
Instead of managing shipments across emails, spreadsheets, and calls, a platform brings everything into one place where shipments move through defined stages (like booking → clearance → loading → transit), each with a clear owner, required data, and real-time visibility for everyone involved.
The system ensures:
- Updates are instantly visible across teams
- Steps aren’t skipped or done out of order
- Communication happens in context (not scattered across tools)
- Every action is logged, creating a full audit trail
A platform is typically made up of modules, depending on how your operations work. This can include things like enquiry/RFQ handling, shipment tracking, internal approvals, live chat, document management, notifications, and role-based dashboards.
The key difference is:
it’s not a generic tool — the modules and workflows are defined around your operations during the initial phase, so the system fits how your business actually runs.
If you want to see what this looks like in practice, you can explore a real example here:

Consultants deliver slide decks. We deliver working software. At the end of the OYP sprint, you have a functional prototype your team can interact with, architecture your developers can build from, and an executive presentation ready for your board. Everything belongs to you — no vendor lock-in, no IP retained by Coaldev.
Milestones are agreed in writing at kick-off. If a milestone isn’t delivered by the agreed date, you don’t pay for that phase. If the final prototype doesn’t meet the agreed scope within the 3-week window, we continue the sprint at no additional cost until it does — or we refund 50% of your investment. We build accountability into the engagement structure, not just our intentions.
If you choose to proceed with Coaldev for a full platform build after the sprint, the entire $7,500 sprint fee is applied as a credit toward your full build invoice. You’re not paying for the sprint on top of a full build — the sprint investment rolls directly in.
Yes. An NDA is signed before any workflows or data are shared — protecting your operational information, competitive processes, and data from the moment we start. Your data stays confidential throughout the engagement and is never used outside the scope of your sprint.
No. Part of the sprint is mapping your data sources and understanding what you have. You need admin access to at least two core systems (CRM, ERP, or financial platform), but you don’t need everything centralised or formatted in advance.
Validate before you invest six figures
Invest in better ops today!
Most platform projects stall in planning for 12–18 months. Every month without operational visibility, your team absorbs the cost in manual coordination, delayed decisions, and missed efficiency.

Committing to a full build before validating workflows, architecture, and ROI is how platform projects miss the mark and waste six figures.
