data services
Our sophisticated aggregation engine correlates data from disparate sources, enabling clients to gain API access to a wealth of relevant information, from a single source.

Data-as-a-service
from the Podium5 API.
When enriched by our proprietary algorithms, Podium5 data services can provide deep insight on every aspect of past, present and future vessel operations. They provide fast and accurate data, rich documentation, rapid prototyping, and exploration.
Our APIs have been architected around these core principles, on top of robust global communication backbones. Hosted in redundant data-centres spread strategically across the globe, and meeting all cyber security best practises.

Positional Data
StratumFive utilise more than just AIS. AIS transponders can be turned off by the master at any time, ‘spoofed’, and are prone to satellite coverage black spots. Leveraging multiple separate position sources per vessel (combined to a single high-definition track line), StratumFive are able to provide the ultimate near-real time shoreside monitoring, with unparalleled detail and continuity. This more detailed positional data serves as a backbone for more accurate analytics and performance algorithms.

AIS transponders can be turned off by the master at any time, ‘spoofStreamline voyage data collection through uniquely flexible onboard forms, with superior validation capabilities, eliminating errors and avoiding duplicate entry. Podium Onboard remains fully functional whether offline or online, and automatically synchronises with Podium ashore whenever a connection is available.
Podium Onboard requires zero hardware or software installation. Forms can be edited, added, and removed from ashore. Data entered via Podium Onboard will be automatically ingested into Podium shoreside, and automatically correlated with all other vessel, voyage and environmental data.
Any combination of fields can also be disseminated to any number of recipients, ensuring that each stakeholder receives only the information that is important to them.
Podium is also able to accommodate the majority of legacy formats that our clients may be utilising, should they not wish to take advantage of our dedicated PodiumOnboard solution

Sensor/Telemetry Data
Podium delivers unity. Standardise the flow of information between unconnected software systems, hardware systems, and data silos. Podium features a seamless integration of high frequency sensor data via our Connected Community partners. All of the Podium features have been developed to function completely, with or without these integrations, but the opportunity to integrate high frequency sensor data brings an enhanced level of granularity and precision for all suitably equipped vessels.

MetOcean Data
Access global high resolution weather and sea state datasets fuelled by the most accurate measurements, observations and state of the art machine learning algorithms and developed with the expert contribution of our WMO certified marine meteorological team.

Global Fleet AIS Data
StratumFive aggregate, process and visualise around 80 million AIS messages from the global merchant fleet daily. Taking advantage of multiple sources, including terrestrial AIS data when in VHF range of the coastal receivers, together with Satellite-AIS and Dynamic-AIS for deep sea positions, beyond the reach of conventional AIS tracking solutions.
This capability is used to give StratumFive clients enhanced maritime domain awareness globally, and for all vessel types.
With multiple delivery, analysis and visualisation methods available, it has never been easier to view, track and analyse the movements of third-party vessels, and the global fleet as a whole.
