Product Updates: Faster Deployments, Enhanced APIs, and Dynamic Workflows

Product Updates: Faster Deployments, Enhanced APIs, and Dynamic Workflows

As we continue refining and expanding Maranics, this month brings significant improvements in deployment efficiency, API flexibility, and workflow automation. Here’s what’s coming in our next release:

Faster and Smarter Vessel Deployments

Our rollout process is accelerating! With a steady pipeline of vessels being onboarded, we’ve been optimizing deployment efficiency. By automating key procedures, we’ve achieved a major milestone: deploying a new location in under 20 minutes using a golden image template.

Looking ahead, we are automating pre-deployment checks to ensure all expected client settings are in place before the process begins. This will provide a red or green light before deployment, eliminating unnecessary delays. Following this, our focus will shift to automating and improving post-deployment validation to further enhance reliability.

Dark Theme Coming to Production

We previously introduced our new dark theme, and it’s now ready for prime time! With the next release, this improved user experience will be available in production. Read more about it here.

API Enhancements: Simplified User and Location Management

We’ve made our API even more efficient:

  • Bulk user creation: Create multiple users in a single call.
  • Skip invite emails: A new option allows administrators to manage onboarding without sending immediate invitations.
  • Simplified location and position creation: A more streamlined process for setting up new environments.

Dynamic Task Controls in Active Flows

We now offer dynamic task management, allowing tasks in active workflows to be disabled to prevent user interaction when necessary. Additionally, we’ve expanded hide/show rules to apply to all tasks, not just common ones, making workflows more adaptable to complex business needs.

Visualizing Workflows with Mermaid.js

A major addition to our platform is the ability to render Mermaid diagrams directly within task descriptions. You can now use our API to dynamically update task descriptions with visual charts and flow diagrams, improving clarity in complex workflows. Learn more about Mermaid.js here.


These updates mark another step forward in making Maranics more powerful, flexible, and user-friendly. We’re excited to roll them out and look forward to your feedback!
