GasLog Implements BASSnet HR Manager & Crew Portal app to Boost Communication & Efficiency
GasLog Ltd (‘GasLog’) is a leading global provider of LNG shipping services. In 2023, the company selected BASSnet’s Crew Portal self-service app to advance their fleet crewing and payroll management, integrated with the end-to-end BASSnet HR Manager system.
The Need for A Streamlined HR Management System
GasLog’s main goal in selecting the right human resources software was to improve and streamline crewing management from all capabilities needed to manage their seagoing human resources.
In 2021, they began to capture their requirements and all stakeholders had the opportunity to raise their needs on their processes. The company then launched a competitive bidding process where BASSnet was ultimately selected as the best choice amongst various competitors.
In June 2022, GasLog began implementation of the end-to-end BASSnet Human Resources Management system. In 2023, the company added BASSnet’s innovative self-service Crew Portal mobile app to boost efficiency.
Now, why was BASSnet selected as the best choice amongst many? Let’s find out more below.
