Tilla Technologies is a growing B2B SaaS startup with an international team bringing maritime workforce management into the 21st century. Backed by strong investors and a fast-growing base of paying customers, we’re solving one of the most overlooked problems in global logistics.
Over 90% of global trade depends on ships — and the 2 million seafarers who operate them spend months at sea to keep our economy moving. At Tilla, we’re improving their lives and the processes that support them. Our platform eliminates inefficiencies in crew logistics, streamlining collaboration between operators, travel agents, and seafarers. The result: more humane, efficient crew operations.
