Follow every boat, engine and trailer from stock to delivery, service and brokerage.
Boat dealers sell new and pre-owned boats, engines and trailers, broker boats for private owners and run a service yard. Each hull has its own identification number, options, deposits and paperwork. The dealer software holds stock, enquiries, deals, trade-ins, commissioning, storage and service jobs. Brokerage listings and owners’ settlements sit on the same system.
A boat dealer sells a high-value item that is built to order, rigged by hand and used only in season. One hull can carry an engine from one supplier, a trailer from another and electronics fitted in the yard. Buyers visit several times before they sign. Some wait a winter.
Dealers often keep stock lists, customer notes and service bookings in separate files, so a question about one boat sends staff to three different places before anyone can answer. Dealer software gives each boat one record. Enquiries, deposits, trade-ins, brokerage listings and workshop jobs hang from it.
Enquiries arrive from the website, listing portals, boat shows and walk-ins. A salesperson matches the buyer to stock in the showroom or on order, arranges a viewing or a sea trial and sends a quotation with the options chosen. A deposit holds the boat. A trade-in is valued if the buyer has a boat to sell.
Before delivery, the yard commissions the boat. Engines are fitted and tested, electronics and accessories are installed, and the hull is cleaned and inspected by a senior technician before the buyer arrives. The customer signs a handover record. Registration and warranty details are filed with the manufacturer.
Brokerage adds a second business. The dealer lists boats for private owners, handles viewings and surveys, and passes funds to the owner after the commission. Service teams book winter storage, haul-outs, engine services and warranty claims, and parts are ordered from several suppliers at once.

Read the case studyQuestions boat dealers ask before they call.
Does it cover new boats, used boats and brokerage?
Yes. Dealer stock, trade-in boats and boats listed for private owners are held separately, so ownership and the money owed to each owner are always clear to the accounts team.
Can it publish stock to our website or listing portals?
It can export stock details for your site or portal feeds. The format depends on the portal. Scoping happens during implementation, with the portal’s own requirements in hand.
Does it handle the service yard as well as sales?
Yes. Repairs, storage, haul-outs and winter work are booked against yard resources, and the same boat record shows its sales history and every service visit since the day it was sold.
Can it work with a financing partner?
It records the finance arrangement on the deal and the partner’s reference. Applications and approvals happen with the lender, outside the system.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
