Resolve item descriptions to the right marine stores guide code, cross-reference IMPA and ISSA, and keep buyers and ship chandlers quoting against exactly the same line items — the foundation of clean marine supply.
Almost every avoidable problem in marine supply starts with an ambiguous item description. A vessel types "gasket sheet" or "cotton waste" into a requisition, the chandler reads it differently, and the wrong item arrives — or the quote comes back with a query that costs a day the vessel does not have. The IMPA Marine Stores Guide and the ISSA catalogue exist to fix that, but only if the item is matched to the right code in the first place.
Tidal turns free-text descriptions into catalogue lines. Search the marine stores guide, match an item to its IMPA or ISSA code, and cross-reference between the two coding systems, so buyer and supplier are always describing the same thing. Match one line by hand or a whole requisition in bulk before it goes out for quoting.
Marine catalogue tooling built into the same platform buyers and ship chandlers use to requisition, quote and deliver.
Type an item description and match it to the correct IMPA Marine Stores Guide code, in the right units, ready to requisition or quote.
Look up ISSA catalogue codes and cross-reference against IMPA, so an item coded under one system can still be sourced under the other.
Search the marine stores guide by description or code to find the exact line you need instead of guessing at the nearest match.
Match a whole requisition or catalogue at once, turning a list of typed items into coded lines before it goes out to suppliers.
Buyers requisition and chandlers quote against the same codes, so quotes, deliveries and invoices all line up.
Matched codes flow straight into RFQs, orders and spend reporting — no re-typing between a lookup tool and your buying system.
Match descriptions to IMPA and ISSA codes and carry them straight through to RFQs, orders and reporting — live in about a week.
