Boatyard

Catalogue

Catalogo cantiere holds services, labour (with an hourly rate per qualification) and materials, plus work packages (for example “Antifouling” = haul-out + washing + sanding + two coats + launch).

Each line can have a quantity or price formula using the boat’s sizes (length, beam, draft, engines, hull type…), derived variables such as the underwater hull area and variables asked to the operator (number of coats, damaged area). Formulas have functions such as if, min, max, round and band tables; a wrong formula is flagged on save, with a test case.

Guided quote

Preventivi cantiere: 1) boat and customer, 2) work packages, services and products from the catalogue, 3) variables required by the formulas, 4) summary with computed quantities and prices, editable line by line (manual changes stay marked), 5) terms, validity and deposit. It is sent with a PDF and a link; the customer accepts from the link or at the office, and acceptance creates the work order with tasks and deposit.

Work orders

Barche in lavorazione (Boats in the yard) shows work orders as a board (by state) or a list: planned, in progress, on hold, completed, delivered, invoiced. Each work order has tasks with qualification, estimated hours, dependencies, checklists and photos; progress is the average of the tasks weighted by hours.

Planner and workload

• Dipendenti (Employees): qualifications, internal hourly cost, weekly hours, absences, department; an employee can have a user for the phone.
• Planner cantiere: employees × days, with draggable tasks and checks on qualification and capacity; an automatic proposal assigns unplanned tasks, to be confirmed.
• Carico di lavoro (Workload): assigned over available hours per employee, department and qualification, with overloads and work orders at risk.

Hours, materials and final account

• Worked hours with a timer, also from the phone and offline, or entered by hand; Approvazione ore confirms them and freezes their cost.
• Materials issued to and returned from the work order; external costs with amount, reference and mark-up.
• Final account: revenue and cost of hours, materials and external costs, comparison with the quote and margin.
• Charges for deposit, progress, final and balancing, which go into the “to invoice” export.

Boatyard stock is limited to the materials issued to work orders: full inventory management is not included.

Lifting equipment

Mezzi di sollevamento: travel lift, crane, forklift and trailer booked in 15-minute slots with a qualified operator, with no overlaps (guaranteed by the database). Haul-outs and launches are booked from the work order, from dry storage or from a water ↔ land move; the day’s calendar is also visible on the phone.
