In the maritime logistics industry, reliability isn’t optional—it’s critical. Any interruption in access to the software your operations depend on can have serious consequences. While software may seem stable, its availability is often dependent on developers, suppliers, and legal frameworks.
So what happens if your supplier is no longer able to deliver the software? Or if the source code becomes inaccessible?
The answer: Escrow.
What is Escrow?
Escrow is a trusted safety mechanism in which a third-party organization holds the source code of software securely. In case of an emergency—such as the supplier going out of business—you, the customer, gain access to the source code. This means you can continue to operate without disruption, even under unforeseen circumstances.
Why has Ultimate Maritime Logistics arranged this?
At Ultimate Maritime Logistics, we believe innovation should go hand-in-hand with certainty. That’s why we participate in a certified Escrow program in collaboration with Software Borg and an independent IT notary. This ensures that our software remains accessible to you, even if something unexpected were to happen on our end.
What does this mean for you as a customer?
- You retain access to the software source code if necessary.
- Your rights as a user are legally secured.
- Your business continuity is protected.
- You work with a vendor who proactively safeguards your interests.
In short: the Escrow arrangement is a strategic risk mitigation tool—one that offers peace of mind, legal clarity, and long-term stability.
