Helm Operations

Helm Operations Helm develops software for the commercial maritime industry. It's also an amazing place to work! How did we do it? Helm Rocks!

From modest beginnings with two employees and a few local customers, Helm has grown into dynamic, forward-thinking software company, with 50+ employees and customers all over the world. Well, our software, Helm CONNECT is pretty awesome and our culture is built for innovation and fun. This page is dedicated to give you a sense of what it's like to work for one of the best technology companies in Canada.

Most fleets aren't short on data. They're short on the one number that tells them a requisition has been sitting with a vendor for three weeks, or that they're overpaying for the same part two divisions over.

The next release of Helm CONNECT Analytics is built to surface exactly that.

Two brand-new dashboards, one rebuilt from the ground up:

→ Requisitions (Maintenance Pro) — see what's piling up, which vendors are sitting on orders, and where you're paying more than you should
→ Inventory (Maintenance Pro) — out-of-stock, below-minimum, and overstocked parts at a glance, plus the value sitting on each asset
→ Vessel Utilization Activities (Logistics Pro) — rebuilt to show availability, utilization, and exactly where your 24 hours are going

Plus the quiet wins that add up: your filter selections now stick when you refresh, and your exports finally reflect what you actually selected — not the default.

We're at Seawork 2026 in Southampton — and the workboat world is out in full force! ⚓

Swing by Booth G22 to say hello to the Helm team. Whether you run tugs, crew transfer vessels, or a mixed fleet, we'd love to show you how Helm CONNECT helps operators stay on top of maintenance, compliance, and everything in between.

Europe's largest on-water commercial marine show only happens once a year — and we're here for all three days. Come talk shop and tell us what's keeping your operation up at night. We're listening. 🌊

What a fantastic time last week at the BC Towboat Conference & Trade Show! 🚢

We had a blast connecting with the tug and towboat community — swapping stories, talking shop, and meeting so many of the operators who keep BC's waters moving.
Thank you to the Council of Marine Carriers for putting on another great event. From the exhibit hall to the golf tournament (where a good time was had by all, scorecards notwithstanding ⛳), it was a perfect reminder of why this industry's people are the best part of the job.

Special thanks to our golf team: Yvon Postnikoff and Trevor Jones from Arrow Marine Services, and Rob Adie with Jastram. Oh, and to Jordan Pechie for continuing to slam 320 yard drives past us 🏌️

Already looking forward to the next one. Until then next time! 🌊

Whether you're looking to get off spreadsheets, tackle upcoming compliance requirements, or just want to see what modern fleet management software looks like in 2026 — we'd love to show you.

See you in Southampton. 👋

Day 1 at Inland Marine Expo is in the books — and Nashville delivered. 🎸

The floor at Music City Center was buzzing from the jump. Great conversations with towboat operators, barge companies, and fleet managers who are clearly ready for something better than the status quo - and plenty of excitement for our famous socks, too!

We're at Booth 1117 alongside our partners at TBS Safety, and if today was any indication, Day 2 is going to be even better. Come find us — we'd love to show you what Helm CONNECT can do for your inland operations.

📅 One more day — Friday, May 29

Big news: Helm CONNECT Logbook has received official recognition from the U.S. Coast Guard.

For US commercial operators, that means the last barrier to going fully digital is gone. No more paper logs. No more transcription errors. No more waiting for the binder to come ashore (and no more coffee stains!).

Helm CONNECT Logbook gives vessel crews and shore teams access to the same accurate, up-to-date information at all times — events logged on the vessel are instantly available to dispatchers, compliance managers, and operations leaders back at the office.

Huge thanks to our customers, whose feedback shaped this product over years of close collaboration. We're proud to be the digital logbook solution US operators can trust!
