Price lists and pricing

Every price in Porto (moorings, transits, dry storage, services, utilities, boatyard, rentals) comes from the same pricing engine: with the same inputs it always gives the same result, to the cent.

Items and services

Articoli e servizi lists everything that is sold or charged: code, description, type, unit (night, month, season, year, metre, m², kWh, m³, hour, piece, lump sum), VAT rate or exemption nature, price including or excluding VAT, revenue class and code in the external invoicing software. These data go into the “to invoice” export.

Classificazioni defines berth categories, length bands and the other classifications used by the rules.

Price lists

A price list has a validity period and a state (draft, active, archived). It contains:

• rate periods (high, mid, low season, events);
• price rules with a scope (item, contract type, berth group or category, channel, customer category) and a pricing basis: per berth, per length band, per metre, per m² of the boat, per m² of the berth, flat or metered;
• splitting for partial periods: exact, pro rata, whole months or the cheapest combination;
• surcharges and discounts (multihull, overhang, long stay, early booking, last minute, channel), included and additional services, rounding and deposits.

An activated price list never changes: every contract and transit keeps its price snapshot and can be recomputed. To change prices you create a new price list.

Tools

• Price simulator: enter boat, period and berth and see the price with its line-by-line breakdown.
• Matrix: the price table of the list by band and period, printable too; it always matches the simulator.
• Coverage: flags combinations without a price, before it happens at the desk.
• Price list renewal: creates next year’s list from the current one, with a change, and shows the differences before activation.

Impostazioni prezzi (Pricing settings) holds the marina’s general choices (rounding, default VAT and similar).
