Communication on jobs just got a serious upgrade.
What's New
Base now includes a full messaging system built directly into jobs and projects. No more switching between email, Slack, and your job management tool.
@Mentions
– Tag any team member by typing @
and their name. They'll get an instant notification and email alert.Threaded Conversations
– Keep discussions organized with nested replies. Find context without scrolling through hundreds of messages.File Attachments

Finding information in Base used to mean jumping between jobs, invoices, files, and vessels to piece together the full picture.
That friction is gone.
You can now press Cmd + K (or Ctrl + K) from anywhere in Base and search across:
Jobs
Invoices
Quotes & purchase orders
Companies
Vessels & ports
Files (including vendor backup)
Search results are unified into a single list and respect your permissions.
We also improved matching:
Searches now read into charges, expenses, and line item descriptions
Searching terms like “fuel” or “bunker” will surface the job, invoice, and related files tied to that cost
Why this matters
Ops teams spend real time hunting for answers. Global Search turns that into seconds, not minutes.
Try it
Open Base → press Cmd + K → search for a vessel or recent job.
As always, feedback welcome.
Tracking when jobs actually finish is now automatic. No more guessing, no more manual timestamps.
What's New
When a job moves to a completed status, Base now automatically records the exact
completedAt
timestamp.Automatic Tracking
– The moment you mark a job complete, the date and time are captured. No extra clicks.Accurate Reporting
– Turnaround time reports now use real completion dates, not estimates.Workflow Triggers
– Use the completion timestamp to trigger automations, notifications, or status updates on related records.Why It Matters
Real data, real insights.
How long do jobs actually take? Now you have the numbers to answer that question.Audit trail.
When a client asks "when did this finish?" you have the exact answer, not a guess.Better forecasting.
With accurate historical data, you can predict job timelines more reliably.How It Works
No setup required. Move any job to a completed status and the
completedAt
field is automatically populated.Check it in the job details or export for reporting.
Set up your job workflows once. Let templates and job types do the heavy lifting from there.
What's New
We've upgraded both job types and templates to give you more control over how jobs are created and managed.
Job Types
– Categorize jobs with custom types that drive your entire workflow. Different types can have different statuses, permissions, and required fields.Template Improvements
– Pre-configure more fields when creating jobs from templates. Default charges, assigned teams, custom field values – all set before the job is even created.Type-Based Permissions
– Control who can create, view, or edit jobs based on their type. Sensitive job types stay locked to the right people.Status Workflows
– Different job types can have completely different status progressions. Husbandry jobs don't need the same workflow as agency calls.Why It Matters
Consistency at scale.
New team members create jobs correctly from day one because the template handles the complexity.Less cleanup.
When defaults are set right, there's less fixing after the fact.Security and compliance.
Restrict sensitive job types to authorized users only.How to Set It Up
- Go to Settings → Job Types
- Create or edit your job types
- Assign status workflows and permissions
- Create templates that use those job types
Your team starts creating jobs the right way, every time.
