Laytime
From scanned SOF to settled claim.
Manual SOF re-keying costs 4-6 hours per claim. Spreadsheet errors cost you the dispute. BV Laytime combines AI document digitization with a deterministic calculation engine validated against 18k+ real laytime calculations - then tracks your claim from draft through settlement.

How It Works
Laytime Tracker
Vessel, counterparty, demurrage amount, claim status, analyst, last modified - filterable and sortable. See your team's entire laytime workload at a glance.
REST API with self-service tokens. Push calculation results to Power BI dashboards, Salesforce records, or your accounting platform - webhook-driven, so updates land the moment the engine finishes.
Export filtered calculation sets as Excel or CSV. Upload BVL files for batch processing. Share formatted reports with stakeholders who need the numbers without the platform.
Claims Manager
Six status columns: Draft, Estimated, Sent/Received, Under Negotiation, Agreed/Invoiced, Settled. Drag claims across stages. Time-bar deadlines surface automatically.
Share calculations via magic links - counterparties review and respond without creating an account. Track assignments, comments, and resolution history with full audit trails.
Recovery rate by counterparty, days outstanding by analyst, demurrage exposure by vessel class. The metrics that tell you whether your claims team is winning.
Discrepancy Discoverer
Upload your calculation and the counterparty's. The engine aligns port events, compares time allowances, and flags every difference - with the charter party clause that governs each dispute point.
Reads 10+ maritime document types - SOF, NOR, charter parties, Certificates of Analysis. Multi-LLM extraction pipeline classifies documents, extracts structured data, and feeds it directly into your calculation.
The comparison engine produces a line-by-line discrepancy report with time differences, rate mismatches, and excluded-period disputes. Export as PDF evidence for negotiation or arbitration.
Counterparty sharing via magic links
Send a calculation to your counterparty with a single link - no login, no account required. They see the same data you see. Disputes start from shared facts, not competing spreadsheets.
Cloud and desktop
SaaS platform with real-time collaboration, plus an on-premise desktop application for offline calculation. Same engine, same results, your choice of deployment.
API-first integration
JSON:API endpoints for every calculation, claim, and document. Connect BV Laytime to Power BI, Salesforce, your ERP, or your own internal tools with self-service API tokens.
