Built from real onboard service operations

Built inside a service company. Now being built for yours.

ServOnBoard is being built for companies that send people aboard vessels to perform any service.Our tools help them find the right work, deliver it clearly and build stronger teams.

2020 became an awakening.

Why ServOnBoard exists

Hard work was no longer enough.

Juan Antonio Paez Igarza, known as Japi, entered the maritime industry in 2010 and helped found Tronav four years later. For years, four partners and one or two employees carried almost everything themselves.

In 2020, COVID became an awakening. Japi committed himself to growing a company that could work without its owners carrying every task. Tronav gradually reached 17 people and several locations.

The growth was real; so were the problems. More people and more work exposed the absence of connected tools for operations, leadership and sales. Japi began building what he could not find.

The ServOnTrack moment

A pizza tracker made the problem impossible to ignore.

During a Business Mastery seminar, Japi was asked to look at his company from above, compare it with others and identify a problem shared across the industry. He saw the same lack of visibility over service coordination: information was fragmented inside companies and across the chain connecting the final customer, every intermediary and the company performing the work. Even a simple onboard service could require dozens of emails to keep everyone aligned. Creating that visibility required three or four disconnected tools, each updated by hand. While completing the exercise and tracking a Domino's pizza, the contrast became impossible to ignore: why should a pizza be easier to follow than a maritime service?

That question became ServOnTrack.

A note from Japi

There has to be a better way.

“I am building the tools my own company needed; now I am inviting other owners to help make them better.”

Consulting may support the work when useful, but it is not the point. ServOnBoard is about practical tools that help a maritime service company function better without requiring its owner to carry every answer.
