About
When maritime expertise meets software mastery, great things follow.
Our story
8bitOcean was founded in 2023 as part of Revesta Group, a company with proven experience delivering software solutions across financial services, real estate, banking, construction and business operations.
The foundation was already there: software discipline, client service, data structure, and the ability to build systems that survive real business pressure.
When Revesta looked into the maritime industry, the problem was impossible to ignore. Much of the software looked digital, but the thinking behind it was still old. New screens were placed on top of old logic. Legacy workflows were copied into nicer interfaces. The real problems (poor structure, weak usability, messy data, bad implementation, and the gap between vessel and office) were left untouched.
Revesta does not enter an industry by guessing. It looks for the answer inside the work itself. For the maritime direction, that expertise came through Maksims Gerasimskis, our Product & Business Lead: 20+ years in maritime, 7+ years as Chief Engineer, and 5+ years in maritime office operations, maintaining and implementing planned maintenance systems on both technical and operational levels.
Stop recycling ERP thinking.Build what actually fits.
That is where 8bitOcean started: software builders who know how to deliver serious systems, combined with maritime professionals who know where the real pain is. Not theory. Not another interface pretending to be innovation.
The biggest failures usually happen in the space between vessel and office. Crews need speed, simplicity, and tools that do not waste their time. Office teams need visibility, records, control, cost discipline, and confidence that the work is really done.
That gap is what we close: clean structure, practical control, better data, and systems that people actually use. Lead the shift before it becomes the standard.
