Dispatch Dynamics, Inc. is a South Carolina corporation providing unparalleled dispatch solutions for maritime labor. DDI's flagship product, Harbor Watch a Maritime Information System is the only web-based dispatch application in the maritime industry today.

Since the launch of their first dispatch application in 2013 and a flawless proof-of-concept Pilot in 2015*, DDI's maritime software has had zero down time in any of its installations.
*NOTE: Proof of Concept Pilot funded by the United States Maritime Alliance, USMX.

A Virtual Hiring Hall introduced by DDI early in 2020 provides all the functionality of a brick and mortar dispatch hall without the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Using remote hiring and instant SMS features, workers can shape-up on their mobile phones and receive instant text messages confirming availability and job assignments. In the event of a port-wide emergency, our multi-platform application can send thousands of text messages with the click of a mouse. Digital records of users' work history are stored in the cloud instead of in a closet. To read more about the benefits of our Virtual Hiring Hall click on this article in Maritime Executive.
Due to the elegant simplicity of its table-driven programming, Harbor Watch can easily be re-branded or reconfigured to serve any line of business that deploys a mobile workforce in single or multiple locations.
