Facility operations · the operations hub

The whole property,
on one screen.

Quotes, reservations, the day board, the machine schedule, dockage and lay-day billing, and accounting — in one system, with every dollar traceable to the work that earned it. This is the dashboard the portals plug into.

The problem it solves

One system, instead of four that don’t talk to each other.

Most properties run on a list for reservations, a spreadsheet for the lift, a whiteboard for the day, and billing that finds out later. Marina Manager makes them one system — the quote becomes the booking, the booking fills the boards and the machine schedule, and every day a vessel sits and every hour a machine runs bills itself, automatically.

A live day board every seat sees

The Daily Action Plan — arrivals, departures, haul-outs and machine jobs — printable for the morning meeting, live for everyone else.

the lift schedule in one person’s head

Machine weeks anyone can read

Travel lifts, cranes and forklifts on a week grid, coupled to the vessel’s movements so the job and the move never drift apart.

billing that finds out at month end

Charges post the day they happen

Dockage and lay days accrue by the day; services bill when performed. The invoice is assembled from lines that already exist.

One record from quote to invoice

Customer, vessel, reservation, schedule and bill share one database. Enter it once; it follows the work everywhere.

The product, on screen

The Visibility board — every berth, every stay, every day.

Each stay gets its own row inside the berth, so when one boat leaves and another takes the slip you see both — and the red day between them is the gap you can sell. Green is a rented vessel in the slip that day; red is open and sellable. A stay ends on its departure day, so that day reads red — the slip is already free to re-let.

A day on the system

What a working morning looks like.

06:45
The Daily Action Plan is on the desk

Today’s arrivals, departures, haul-outs, launches and every machine job — printed for the meeting, live on every phone after it.

07:30
The travel lift makes its first pick

The job was scheduled against the reservation, so the haul-out, the blocking and the billing line all reference the same move.

10:30
A quote comes back signed

The customer signed it in the portal. It becomes a reservation on the spot — berth assigned with fit checks, boards updated, no re-typing.

13:00
Electrical reconciliation posts

Counted on the dock walk or read off the meters — shore power lands on the right reservations' bills. Nothing plugged in goes un-invoiced.

16:20
A departure closes out

The stay trues up to the actual days, the invoice assembles from the lines that accrued, and the slip shows sellable on the board tomorrow.

Next morning
Accounting agrees with the yard

Reports reconcile to the same records the invoices billed — occupancy, utilization, revenue by department, WIP aging. One truth.

Inside Marina Manager

Everything the yard does, on one screen.

The hub is one system, not a stack of tools bolted together. Every part shares one database and one rule: the bill builds itself from the work as it happens.
