Marina hours don't fit a 9–5 grid.

Boats run on tides and seasons, not on Tuesday afternoons. Block out the slot that suits the tide, run seasonal service reminders, and manage outboard parts that ship from interstate.

PROBLEM

Land-based scheduling breaks at the water's edge.

Customers don't want a 10am Tuesday — they want the next slack tide. Outboard parts ship from Brisbane and take three working days. Antifouling jobs need a slipway, dry weather, and a 48-hour cure window. Generic auto software doesn't care about any of that.

CAPABILITY · 01

Schedule around tides and seasons.

  • Block bookings around the tide and weather — you pick the window, the diary holds it
  • Seasonal reminder cycles — winterisation, pre-summer outboard service, sent by SMS and email
  • Track a slipway or hardstand as a bookable resource, not just a tech
  • Drop a booking widget on your own site — boat owners request a slack-tide slot, verified by one-time code and landing straight in your diary
CAPABILITY · 02

Parts that ship from afar.

  • Track parts on a PO from order to arrival, with the supplier lead time noted
  • Message the customer by SMS when a part delays the job
  • Per-boat part history — props, anodes, impellers always to hand for the re-order
CAPABILITY · 03

Inspections, quotes and the books — built for boats.

  • Run the built-in marine inspection — hull, anodes, bilge pump, plus mandatory safety gear (lifejackets, EPIRB, flares) — mark each pass/attention/fail with a photo
  • Turn the red and amber items straight into a quote, sent by SMS for the owner to approve with an on-screen signature from the marina
  • Switch on the Marine preset and the whole app speaks boat — vessels keyed on HIN not rego, screens that read Hull and Safety Gear, job categories pre-built
  • Invoices and payments flow straight into Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB — no re-keying for your bookkeeper
  • Spot the boats that skipped a season and text them a win-back offer before the next launch
