New Integration: DA-Desk and Sedna

Disbursement Account approvals, now inside your operations inbox

We are introducing a new integration between DA-Desk and Sedna to simplify how Disbursement Accounts are reviewed and approved.

If your teams already work in Sedna to manage port call communication, this integration allows DA approvals to happen in the same place, without changing your DA-Desk workflows or controls.

What’s changing

Approve PDAs and FDAs without leaving Sedna

Today, DA approvals often sit outside the inbox, requiring teams to switch systems, chase context, and manage follow-ups manually.

With this integration:

• PDA and FDA approvals can be reviewed directly inside Sedna, including Aging DAs

• DA-Desk remains the system of record for workflows, controls, and audit trails

• Instantly view Aging DAs to provide full context when responding to emails

• No duplication of work or loss of compliance

Your existing DA-Desk processes stay intact. Sedna becomes the place where approvals are actioned.

What stays the same

Your DA-Desk controls and compliance remain unchanged

This integration does not replace DA-Desk or alter its approval logic.

• Approval thresholds remain enforced in DA-Desk

• Audit trails, timestamps, and controls are preserved

• Finance and compliance teams retain full visibility

Sedna simply provides a more efficient interface for reviewing and approving DAs.

How it works in practice

From email to approval in one flow

• DA-related emails are automatically structured in Sedna by vessel, voyage, and port call

• Relevant DA context, documents, and history are visible alongside the email

• Operators approve, reject, or escalate PDAs and FDAs directly in the inbox

• All actions synchronise instantly back to DA-Desk

No manual copying. No switching systems. No loss of traceability.
