Marina management software is used by boat dealers, marina management companies, and boatyards to manage their or their customers’ boats, as well as activities such as rentals, repairs, and maintenance. By using marina management software, companies can optimize dock utilization, increase customer satisfaction, and manage assets. Furthermore, marina management solutions provide features to enhance security for employees and customers, as well as the boats managed by marinas.
Since not all marina management software solutions deliver functionality for boat dealers, some of them prefer to integrate with this type of solution. Other solutions focus exclusively on marina management and integrate with back office features such as accounting or CRM.
To qualify for inclusion in the Marina Management category, a product must:
- Track the inventory of boats, spare parts, and equipment required for maintenance
- Manage short-term and long-term rentals, as well as permits and licenses
- Create and manage contracts for various types of services
- Monitor arrivals and departure of boats and manage queues when required
- Include features for resident and visitor processing and access control
- Provide basic billing and accounting features, or integrate with solutions providing them
- Report on occupancy, boat traffic, influx of customers or residents, profitability, and more
