Operations & automationThe Lowcountry to Myrtle Beach and beyond

Marine & boating.Your crew is great with a wrench. The paperwork is what’s killing the season.

Marinas, dealers, charters, and repair yards get one compressed season to make the year — and every week of it run on paper and memory is missed billings, late invoices, and slips that should have renewed but didn’t. I build systems that keep it straight, from spring splash to hurricane haul-out.

The proof, live

You will see what it saves.

Every client gets a private portal: what ran, what it saved, and the math behind the number. You will never wonder what you’re paying for. And when something breaks — things break — you see it caught and fixed, not silence.

The dashboard here is sample data. Yours shows your numbers, counted conservatively, with the arithmetic visible.

What eats the week

Sound familiar?

01
Every spring, the same renewal fire drill.
The slip and storage spreadsheet rebuilt again, contracts chased one owner at a time, nobody sure who signed and who paid. A slip that sits empty in June is revenue you can’t get back.
Common
02
The work order’s on the bench, the parts are on a sticky note.
Commissioning and winterization compress hundreds of jobs into a few weeks, techs report status verbally, and the invoice goes out two weeks after the boat left. Billable hours quietly go missing.
Common
03
The same slip booked twice on a Saturday morning.
Phone, email, walk-up, and radio all take reservations, and the calendar is whoever wrote it down. Sorting a double-booking out on the dock in July is how a good customer becomes a former one.
Common
04
Everything gets entered twice — and still doesn’t match.
Once in the marina or booking system, once in QuickBooks, and month-end becomes a hunt for which one is right. Slip, fuel, service, and retail billing pulled from four places by hand.
Common
“He gave me my Tuesday mornings back.”
— Nobody yet. This space is reserved for my first marine & boating clients, and I intend to earn it.
How it works

Four steps. Clear terms.

  1. A free conversation. Phone or in person. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so and point you to someone better suited.
  2. A paid assessment. I map how your operation actually runs and write down exactly where the time goes. The document is yours to keep either way.
  3. A fixed-price proposal. Defined scope, one price, no hourly meter running.
  4. The build, and after. Built once, to fit your operation exactly. Monitored after hand-off, with a monthly plain-language report of what ran and what it saved. Automations nobody watches break silently; mine don’t.

The longer version, and the work behind it, is on the home page.

Let’s talk
