What actually makes this different

Three things car software gets wrong

A boat is not one thingHull, motor and trailer go out on one deal, come back in pieces, and the workshop sees all three. The paperwork has to hold that together without three systems.
The season is the constraintSpring arrives and the workshop decides how much the whole business earns. You need technician productivity weekly, not four weeks after you could have done something about it.
Rigging is where the margin goesRigging and PDI hours are real cost. If they are not landing back on the unit, you are discounting against a number that was never true.

Straight answer

What we do not do

Engine hours are recorded on the job card and kept on the unit record. They do not trigger the next service booking. Scheduling runs on date. If hours driven scheduling is the reason you would buy, say so on the call and we will tell you straight.

Questions marine dealers ask

Straight answers, before the demo

Can I sell a hull, motor and trailer on the one deal?

Yes. Each one can be its own unit with its own serial or HIN, and all three go on the one invoice as a package. Fitted extras and accessories go on the same deal as parts. A trade-in comes in as its own unit rather than a line on the invoice, so it carries its own record from the day you take it. Rigging and PDI hours and parts land back on the package cost, so the margin you discount against is the real one.

Does it run the workshop as well as boat sales?

Both, and the workshop half is the part that is unusually good. Retail, warranty, internal and recon jobs sit on one screen, parts come off stock onto the job, and technician hours are booked against it. That means you can see sold time against actual time weekly, in the season when it still changes something, rather than a month after it mattered.

How does it track boat inventory and what a unit actually cost?

Every unit carries its serial or HIN, the supplier and what you paid, and it stays on that record from acquisition to sale. Rigging, PDI, parts and labour land back against the unit, so the cost you are looking at is the true one and not the purchase invoice. Parts stock runs on minimum and maximum levels, and parts used on a job come off stock and onto that job.

What happens to a boat's service history when it is traded in?

It follows the boat, not the buyer. Every job, part and inspection stays on the unit record, so when a boat you sold four years ago comes back in as a trade, you can see what was done to it and price it on evidence rather than on what the owner remembers.

Can it schedule the next service on engine hours?

No, and it is worth knowing before the demo rather than during it. Engine hours are recorded on the job card and kept on the unit record, so the history is there, but scheduling and service reminders run on dates.
