Module overview
Efficiently manage the entire boat-building lifecycle, from sales order to final launch. Whether you’re building yachts, leisure craft, or custom boats, this module gives you full control over resources, components, timelines, and assembly stages.
Create structured Bills of Materials (BOMs) for each boat model, track real-time build progress, and ensure hulls, fittings, and subassemblies are available exactly when needed. With integrated assembly-to-order functionality, you can personalise builds based on customer specifications directly from sales orders, without duplicating data or rekeying details.
Gain complete visibility into production costs, resource utilisation, and delivery timelines, helping you stay on schedule, reduce waste, and meet buyer expectations with confidence.
