A cargo and vessel operations system that manages boarding, unboarding, and cargo tracking with offline-first mobile support and real-time synchronization.
DockMaster is the backend counterpart to DockMaster Mobile: a Laravel and MySQL system that gives Bam Global's operations team a single source of truth for vessel boarding, unboarding, and cargo tracking. It's built around the same offline-first philosophy as the mobile app — field data syncs in through the same idempotent operation model, so records stay consistent whether they originate from a dockside device or the operations desk.
Real-time synchronization means office staff see field updates as they arrive rather than waiting on manual reconciliation, and the system's audit trail gives Bam Global visibility into cargo movement that scattered paper logs never could.
The field app is described in DockMaster Mobile, and the engineering behind the sync in Building an Offline-First Sync Engine for DockMaster.
The challenge
Bam Global's operations team needed a single source of truth for vessel boarding, unboarding and cargo tracking, in place of scattered paper logs and manual reconciliation of field records.
The solution
DockMaster is a Laravel and MySQL system built around the same offline-first approach as the mobile app: field data arrives through the same idempotent operation model, so records stay consistent whether they begin on a dockside device or at the operations desk. Real-time synchronization shows office staff field updates as they arrive, and an audit trail records cargo movement.
