Why we started Emar
We didn't choose this industry from a pitch deck. Yerko has sailed competitively for over 35 years and now leads the Chilean Sailing Federation. Diego grew up on the water through his father's Navy career. The maritime world is where we come from.
The industries Yerko has regulated and consulted for are behind on digitalization. They want smarter, error-free operations but lack the tools to get there. We've seen the challenges firsthand and understand the regulations shaping these industries. So we combined regulatory expertise with production software engineering to help them close that gap.
Your operation won't fix itself
We listen, ask questions, and tell you honestly if we can help.
