Several
incarnations of vessel management products by The Generalist have
been in distribution since September, 1997.
Vessel
Management System Professional (VMS Pro)
A significant technical upgrade to Fleet Management system, VMS
Pro is a back office solution for multiple vessel operations, vessel
owners, MegaYachts, marina operators, charter businesses, working vessels,
etc., and includes all features of FMS (see below) with many technical
upgrades, significantly improved code base and multiple user/network capability. Current version, Vista compatible.
Vessel
Management System Single Vessel Edition (SVE)
VMS (SVE) is built on the foundations of VMS Pro and is intended for the
owner/operator (although suitable for many vessel types) who does not
need a full back office business database system. Because of the VMS Pro price reduction
VMS (SVE) has been discontinued. Support is available for a limited time.
Fleet
Management System (FMS)
Original Generalist solution for multiple vessel database/business
back office system intended for vessel owners, MegaYachts, marina operators,
charter businesses, working vessels, etc. Because of this program's relatively
short lifetime all FMS owners may acquire an upgrade to VMS
Professional at no charge. Retired.
Vessel
Management System (VMS, original version published Q2, 1998)
Over one thousand installations. Retired.
Vessel
Information Manager (VIM).
First published September, 1997. Retired.
Current
versions of VMS are supported free of charge. If an upgrade is applied it must
be used on all computers, whether networked or connected via sneakerware.
The current version is compatible with all 32 and 64 bit
versions of XP, Vista, Windows 7 and all Server versions written on those platforms.
