Dock Slips is Windows 98/NT-based software that provides marina operators with the tools to manage their business effectively. This exceptional program lets you carefully monitor and manage the booking, billing and planning for your marina.
Features and Benefits
As you see in the example image above, Dock Slips provides an interactive, user-friendly map of a marina. When you purchase Dock Slips, the map will be a fully-customized layout of YOUR marina. With a click of a button you can:
- see which slips / racks / moorings / indoor or outdoor storage are available, firmly booked, or tentatively booked for any date range, either now or in the future, all color-coded for convenience
- advance-book a slip days, months, even years into the future
- see which slips have which utilities (eg. electric, cable, water, telephone) associated with them
- determine availability of slips based on dimensions or utilities requested
- flag a slip as available for transients if a 'long-term' customer will be vacating for a time period
- charge for slips using daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal or annual rates
- charge for slips using a flat rate, or charge by foot, by square foot or cubic foot
- charge for utilities by period, or by meter usage
- runoff any of several reports, detailing exposure to vacancy, slip usage for any period, and many others
- print any of the reports in your own 'dockwalk' order
- generate invoices automatically, and customize a payment plan to suit any customer request
- defer income earned over the length of the contract
