Specialized HR & Payroll Software for the Maritime Industry

VEGA – Specialized HR & Payroll Software for the Maritime Industry

Built in long-term partnership with STARNAV – a ship agency with vision

Developed over the course of more than 3 years of close collaboration, VEGA is a tailor-made solution created by Wollow for the operational and regulatory needs of modern ship agencies.

Designed specifically for maritime HR and payroll processes, VEGA simplifies and automates everything from crew management to contracts, payroll calculations, document validity tracking, and compliance with international maritime labor conventions.

What is VEGA?

VEGA is an industry-specific HR and payroll platform, built to manage the full employment lifecycle of seafarers – from recruitment to offboarding – with full control over documentation, scheduling, roles, contracts, and payroll.

It is fully compliant with MLC (Maritime Labour Convention) standards and is continuously updated to meet the legal frameworks of different countries where ship agencies operate.

 Key Features

• Comprehensive crew profiles – personal data, qualifications, certificates, training, medicals, document validity

• Contract & agreement generation – tailored by flag state and type of voyage

• Advanced payroll module – salary calculations, payslips, role-based compensation, country-specific logic

• Multilingual interface – with multi-currency and localization support

• Expiration tracking & document alerts – automatic reminders for expiring certificates and contract renewals

Growth & Vision

VEGA is being developed in direct collaboration with STARNAV, an established maritime agency and the exclusive current user of the platform.

Thanks to a licensing agreement supported by Wollow, the software is now branded and operated under the name “VEGA.” While it is currently in use only by STARNAV, the platform is designed for deployment by other ship agencies looking to modernize and centralize their HR and payroll operations with confidence.
