Breaking Down Interdepartmental Communication Silos With Maritime Email

The maritime shipping industry can be complex. Clear communication is essential when multiple departments work together to ensure smooth operation and timely shipping outcomes. When teams are working in silos, however, collaboration and organizational performance can suffer.

reMARK breaks down interdepartmental communication silos and ensures everyone is on the same page. This post will discuss the key functions and features of reMARK that make it a powerful asset for any maritime shipping company seeking to improve interdepartmental communication.

Streamlining Marine Communications by Department

reMARK facilitates and improves interdepartmental communication by sharing details surrounding actions taken by colleagues in a simple per-email overview. This includes who has replied to the email, where it has been filed, how it was tagged, and who has read it. As a result, team members across departments can quickly understand the progress made by colleagues, keep track of tasks, and determine who is taking what action. 

Suppose your colleague in another department needs your assistance. A comment can quickly be posted in the internal comments section, allowing for quick and easy communication without leaving the system or sending out a separate email. Moreover, emails can be easily exchanged with colleagues and departments through reMARK’s convenient to-do list feature and in the internal comment section attached to each email.

The ability to create a view within reMARK using the Search Folder feature also enables the segmenting of emails and visibility regarding who has taken care of what. This lets each user get a quick overview of what needs to be prioritized. reMARK’s Search Folder and Categories functions can accomplish this and much more.
