Integrated Reporting
A Task Assistant® Use Case
Rich Results
Integrated reporting renders rich results.
The use case of the transactions between Task Assistant® and SAP at Gaslog, provides ample evidence. For example, in 2025, the database count at Ulysses Systems’ long-standing client, Gaslog, showed: 227,957 unique inventory items in stock and
1,000,480 inventory transactions.
Ulysses Systems values the long-lasting collaboration with Gaslog, a top-tier LNG Carrier Fleet Owner and Operator. This enduring partnership began in 2009 and stems from the functionality and convenience which the Task Assistant ® Modules for Procurement and Technical Management have delivered.

At Gaslog critical spares are auto replenished.
The telling numbers regarding inventory stock and the 1,000,480 inventory transactions are largely owed to the functionality that ensures the automatic replenishment of critical spares.
This is because the system automatically raises a requisition, forwarding it to the appropriate role for approval before dispatching it to the office procurement system for order processing.
Auto replenishment of spare is an invaluable asset of the Task Assistant® in terms of usability and user convenience. It means that crew members can go about their work, relieved of the need to monitor inventory levels or order critical spares, ensuring peace of mind both at the office and onboard vessels.
Integrated Reporting
So, Task Assistant® Purchasing, Inventory Management, and Budget Management modules ensure integrated reporting.
They not only provide an inclusive and informed procurement experience. They also natively integrate with the Task Assistant® Planned and Unplanned Maintenance applications.
Consequently, Task Assistant® connects the consumption of spare parts to both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance tasks.
Replenishment is recorded seamlessly at PO delivery and storage locations can be assigned at the same moment or later, at a time of convenience.
Unified Data
With Task Assistant® integrated applications, data is unified. Ulysses Systems achievement in providing the maritime enterprise with unified data has been a fundamental commitment from the start. The reason we have been successful doing so, lies in our understanding of how components are described in manuals, how spares are shown in drawings and how this translates into data for the PMS and Purchasing applications.
We also recognized, from the outset, the necessity of presenting this data in a way that enables all our clients to maintain unique data without any duplicates across the fleet.
This constitutes a persuasive argument in favour of a system that inherently ensures meaningful analytics reports and reliable data trends. We can therefore agree that for operators to effectively assess performance and oversee their assets, unified data is essential.
Software that emulates how people work
Task orientation is a core Task Assistant® principle. It ensures that Ulysses software emulates how people work in the office and onboard. It is also the principle that promotes integrated reporting. The benefit is effortless reporting, since the system by default understands the link between Maintenance, Procurement and Inventory management tasks.
As a result, related processes share the rich data, making decisions and information all the easier.
