From Estimate to Appointment: Planning Smarter Husbandry Spend with Marcura

Husbandry planning usually starts with a guess and ends with a scramble — a rough total, a fixed port, and quotes that arrive in three different formats. By the time budgets are challenged, the scope is already locked in.

This webinar walks through two connected modules in Marcura's Husbandry platform that change that starting point: Estimator and RFQ.

We'll show how Estimator helps ship managers build a planning-grade cost picture before any port or agent is fixed — comparing candidate ports, breaking down service items by quantity and unit, and benchmarking against historical ranges and contract context. Then we'll move into RFQ, where that structured scope carries forward into a standardised quotation process — collecting up to three agent responses side by side and confirming the best-fit PDA with far less manual comparison.

Together, these modules move husbandry from reactive spreadsheet work to a repeatable, defensible planning-to-procurement flow.

You'll see:

• How to compare expected husbandry cost across multiple candidate ports before committing

• How to build a service-item-level estimate using historical ranges and contract intelligence

• How structured scope flows from Planning into a standardised RFQ

• How to review agent quotes side by side and confirm PDAs faster, with fewer disputes downstream

Who should attend: Technical Managers, Crewing Managers, Operations Managers, and Finance or cost-control stakeholders involved in non-commercial port call planning and procurement.
