Case Study: Vendola Solutions achieves digitalized ship inspections and faster, lower-cost app delivery with AppSheet

Vendola Solutions - Customer Case Study

Vendola Solutions, founded by Koichi Tsuji, is an independent IT consulting firm focused on modernizing the maritime industry, which has long relied on paper-based systems, fragmented shipboard IT, and inflexible off‑the‑shelf software. Procuring custom apps had been prohibitively slow and expensive, leaving operators stuck with inefficient workflows; Tsuji saw a clear opportunity but did not have deep software development resources.

Tsuji adopted AppSheet’s no‑code platform to build inspection apps for MOLSHIP, creating editor and viewer apps with features like filtered views, dependent dropdowns, SQL integration, and automated notifications. Deployed to about 30 users and tied into BI tools, the solution cuts several hours per inspection, improves communication and report tracking, ensures clean actionable data, and lets Vendola prototype robust apps in days instead of months.
