Carnival will use Brenock’s Integrated Management System (IMS) and real-time expense reporting tool, Crew Acquisition Movement Expenses (CAMEX), to enhance visibility and control planning and expense management. As cloud-based solutions, IMS and CAMEX offer flexible and automated reporting and planning capabilities to optimize scheduling, invoicing, staffing and resource allocation.

Aligned vision

'Our vision of leveraging technology and building a scalable model aligns with Brenock’s product,' said Richard Brearley, VP crew and travel operations, Carnival. 'We’re thrilled to collaborate with Brenock to modernize critical backend operations so we can continue to elevate the Carnival team member experience. With the fast-paced environment, having access to real-time solutions will help our crew operations streamline planning, reporting and decision-making across Carnival.'

Carnival plans to go live with IMS and CAMEX in first quarter 2024. IMS is one of the only single-platform solutions that offers comprehensive cloud-based cruise and marine management, providing Carnival with a uniform location to manage crew fees and expenses across various operational categories.

Customizable dashboard

The crew management solution, CAMEX, simplifies expense reporting for crew members and can facilitate transactions and reimbursements in multiple currencies, automatically handling conversions. The tool offers a customizable dashboard that delivers extensive visibility into outflows, enabling multiple users to monitor expense status in real-time, route transactions across departments and maintain compliance with company and employee expense policies.

'We are proud to partner with a renowned cruise line such as Carnival to optimize its planning and cost management processes,' said Manus Walsh, president and founder of Brenock Technology. 'Our suite of tools will help Carnival remain flexible and incorporate new ways to scale its operations.'
