# Introduction
Snapshot is a dedicated online/offline ship-to-shore reporting solution to enable quick, easy and accurate reporting and efficient data exchange between vessel and office
# Highlights
- Requires only a modern browser to use. No more emailing reports.
- Forms can be completed and queued offline. Data will synchronise ashore whenever a internet connection is next available.
- Draft submissions can be saved for later shoreside synchronisation.
- Form layout and field combinations can be amended from ashore via an intuitive form builder and editor.
- Amendments made ashore will be reflected automatically onboard whenever an internet connection is next available.
- Data transfer is significantly more efficient than plain text email or CSV:
- Typical noon report sent via plain text email: 6kb or 6,144 bytes
- Typical noon report sent via snapshot: 0.74kb or *759 bytes
- Real-time inline validation, per field, as per client specifications.
- Workflow sequential validation per voyage as per client specification (ie departure report must be submitted prior to noon report for same voyage).
- Informative validation messages onboard as per client specifications.
- Onboard read-only visibility of previous submissions.
