Product summary
Anchor Operating System, developed by Hornblower Yachts LLC, is an iPhone app in the Utilities & Tools category. It is built for dock personnel to scan and confirm guest tickets quickly and reliably using the phone’s camera. The tool is intended to speed up boarding operations and reduce friction during guest embarkation.
How the ticket scanner works
Staff point the device’s camera at a ticket or barcode; the app reads and verifies the code in real time. Validations happen on the spot, allowing attendants to confirm access without manual lookups or printed lists. This reduces queues at the gangway and helps maintain an orderly boarding flow.
