The connection at a glance
Standalone Vaktos includes its own people, punching, leave, marketplace and hours workflows. A linked organisation keeps crew, vessels, punching, time review and work-and-rest records in MarRest.
Vaktos handles roster planning and can show whether someone is on duty or resting, based on MarRest data, before publication. Call-outs, open-shift claims and coverage changes can synchronise between the products, while the planner remains responsible for the schedule.
Connected data, separate responsibilities
The organisation uses the same company ID in both products. Synchronisation brings crew and vessels into Vaktos, and live on-duty or resting status from MarRest can appear on the board. Plan validation, publishing to MarRest and sign-in between products are available parts of the connection.
Keep planning beside the maritime record
MarRest is the digital work-and-rest logbook for passenger and fishing operations. Vaktos plans named shifts. Together, they place the roster beside MarRest on-duty / resting status without creating another place for crew to punch.
Standalone Vaktos
Hotels, bakeries, shops, care teams and other shore-based operations can use Vaktos for people, workplaces, punching, leave, open shifts and hours. No MarRest account is required.
A MarRest-linked organisation
- Crew and vessel data comes from MarRest.
- On-duty / resting status from MarRest can inform roster planning before publication.
- Punching, time review, CSV, rest PDFs and signed change logs remain in MarRest.
- The planner leave inbox remains in Vaktos.
- Warnings provide context; they do not automatically prevent publication.
If the requirement is a maritime work-and-rest record rather than shift planning, begin with MarRest, including its MarRest and Watchkeeper comparison.
Important details
- Crew in a linked organisation use MarRest for punching and open-shift actions rather than the Vaktos mobile clock or kiosk.
- Marketplace and coverage events can synchronise with the Vaktos roster.
- Vaktos is not the vessel’s rest-hours record; rest review, PDF sign-off and calendar export belong in MarRest.
