Marina bookings and help centre
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A group of marinas takes slip and moorage bookings by phone and email, keeps boaters' documents in a filing cabinet, and answers the same questions about fuel, pump-outs and rates all season.
// What we would build
A booking site designed around your brand where boaters reserve transient slips and seasonal moorage and pay online, upload insurance and registration documents, and find answers in a help centre with an assistant in several languages. Bookings and payments are posted to QuickBooks Online, built on its API.
// What is in it
- Transient and seasonal bookings with a slip map for each marina
- Online payment, with deposits and seasonal instalments
- Insurance and registration documents uploaded and checked before arrival
- A help centre in several languages, with an assistant that answers from it
- Bookings and payments posted to QuickBooks Online
- A design built on your brand, for phones first
