BUILD.

End the “Where’s My Boat?” Call — and the Wrong Color Buried in an Email.

Buyers call the salesperson — sometimes the CEO — to ask where their boat is. Give them the answer before they pick up the phone: a live build status in their own app, every selection, modification and approval on one record with a full audit trail, and the Production Build Order and Master Build Summary travelling from sales office to shipyard without losing a selection.

  2. Phase Description Detailed explanation of current build activities and what work is being completed.

Selection Manager in a browser: the Stabilizer Type selection with four options, each with a photo, a description and a product page link

Put Every Selection in the Customer’s Hands

Selection Manager

Selection Manager puts the choices in front of the customer. The options for their build — hull colour, power, electronics, upholstery — are presented on the web, in the owner’s browser, with photos, descriptions and links to the makers’ product pages, and the selection is made right there. No spreadsheet option list, no answer buried in an email.

Your team reviews each answer, marks it Approved, Under Discussion or a Problem, and locks it when it’s settled. Every change is recorded with a full audit trail, so the owner and your team work from the same record.

Features:

  1. Customer-Facing Selections Options presented on the web, with photos, descriptions and links to the makers’ product pages.
  2. Everything in One Place Internal changes, modifications, version tracking, audit history and the build sheets.
