It is true. With SM the business procedures necessary for running your business are automated. Finally you and your staff have time to focus on more important things. Complicated and time-consuming tasks like accurate invoicing of all Customers, cash flow forecast, statistical and financial reports, periodical berth availability check, end of day/month/year reports, etc are carried out by the system automatically. The system shows the results you want on the marina map or a report format which can be viewed, printed, send by email/fax or even exported to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Acrobat Reader for further analysis. With SM you run your business with a mouse directly from the marina map! As a result your productivity skyrockets without extra effort and business operations run more smoothly than before. Make your business more successful financially: spend less - achieve more* (* in less time!)
It is all about knowledge. The fuzzy logic of SM allows it to know every important detail about your business, anytime. The Relational DataBase combined with the powerful engine of SM, knows almost everything you want to know. For example the integrated berth locator can show you on the marina map all the mooring places that will be available in six months from today. The financials module can show you where your business is right now and predict what your bottom line will be by the end of the year. The system also knows which boats are out of the marina and for how long. When a boat with a yearly contract is out of the harbour, SM suggests possible scenarios on the map for hosting safely another Customer in its place thus increase profit.
 SM is the favourite tool of the Management Team. Real time availability/occupancy reports inform the manager about the current/future status of resources and how they can be optimized. Cash flow report is updated automatically every time there is a money flow. The manager can ask SM about the monthly/yearly income forecast and learn about the sum of money collected at any given day. Income reports show the income categorized in the Income Categories (e.g. Mooring Fees, Electricity, Water, Petrol, etc) you use. All data are calculated in real time for the time period selected while extra filters (e.g. ship category, customer category, etc) are also available for use. Comparison reports that compare two different years (e.g. this year and the last) are only a click away. Management Team Members can access this information even from a distance and stay informed while they are out of the office (in another city or on a business trip). When you realize what Successful Marina can tell you about your business, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, you will loose faith on the way you use to run things!
Your business data is valuable. Customer's credit card numbers and personal data are just one example of the sensitive information you may have access to. SM has an integrated security system that safeguards access and use of all the information stored in it. Only an authorized user can access the system and according to his/her access level can only do the things that he/she is supposed to do (e.g. issue invoices only). All the things that a user can do within the system are recorded by the Audit System of SM 24hrs a day. This means that the Manager can check who issued an invoice and when, or how many users accessed a contract, which changed it, etc. With the Security and Audit system combined the Manager can create roles, assign responsibilities to colleagues and track events. 
Prompt and comprehensive service to the Customer is a matter of major importance for every business. SM minimizes the time that the Customer usually spends waiting on the phone or in the marina office. The departure of the ship, issuing invoices, account's current balance and the daily weather forecast are now a matter of few clicks! As a result the marina staff has more time to concentrate on the needs of the Customer.
In addition, the Customer Satisfaction Survey System of SM makes sure that the Customer really receives the attention he/she deserves. Customer ratings, comments and suggestions are of critical importance for any marina manager that wishes to keep Customers coming back and spreading positive word-of-mouth advertising about the marina.
With Successful Marina more and more Customers will leave the marina smiling!

More features are added almost every week as Successful Marina improves continuously in order to help you improve your business. Improvements are based on marina owners, marina managers and marina staff comments/suggestions.
The Successful Marina's open architecture makes possible the addition of any extra feature (upgrade, new module, etc) you may need today or in the future. Picture this.
You get your everyday work done by using desktop applications. Scheduling an appointment (Microsoft Outlook), replying to an email (Microsoft Outlook), writing a letter (Microsoft Word), calculating something in a spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel)…
In your work you also use the World Wide Web. Checking the weather (Internet Explorer), reading the news (Feedreader), looking for information (Google)…
Your daily work evolves around two worlds. Your business, even if you do not realize it, does the same.
You accept berth requests via the telephone, right? And you also accept berth requests via your web site? Then why not having a system that combines these two activities into one?
Think about it for a minute.
Don’t you want your customers to be able to learn about your services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Don’t you like the idea of giving them the freedom to send their berth request even during night hours and pay for it in advance? Wouldn’t be great to have a Marina Management System that will automatically accept these requests over the Internet and proceed them automatically?
Why not having a Marina Management System for your marina that will do all these within a single, easy to understand and use environment?
Successful Marina unveils the Successful Marina Web a unique turnkey solution that is especially designed for yacht ports and marinas. Successful Marina Web (SM Web) combines the very best of the two worlds into one comprehensive solution for the convenience of you, your staff and, most importantly, your Customers.
Successful Marina Web is a powerful module extension of the Successful Marina Management System to the World Wide Web (Internet). It can also operate as a stand alone web application (meaning without the Successful Marina Management System). So, you can use it even if you do not have a Marina Management Software at all, or if you are using a Marina Management Software other than Successful Marina!
When Successful Marina Web is combined with Successful Marina package is a comprehensive marina business solution. Furthermore, it is the only industry solution that combines the power of desktop application software with the power of the Internet in one single solution.
Successful Marina Web is a web based application, built on the MySQL Database Server (more than 11,000,000 installations; the de-facto standard for high-traffic web sites) and PHP (over than 20,016,000 domains use PHP today).
Individual marinas as well as marina management companies can use Successful Marina Web to manage unlimited number of marinas with only one application and to build marina networks with a wide variety of new services offered to their Customers.
In addition to this, Successful Software provides extensive custom software development services to ensure that SM Web will integrate easily with your existing applications, like third party accounting software, remote electricity/water meter reading applications, etc.
Successful Web is a system that you access via the Web. You do not have to pay for employing IT staff, buy a server and create the necessary infrastructure in order to install it, maintain and support it and monitor its overall operation. Thus, Successful Marina Web dramatically reduces your software operation costs and risks by doing all these instead of you.
In addition to this, Successful Marina Web establishes a communication channel between the marina office and the marina customers. Customers can be informed about the marina products/services and facilities, can make berth and marina services reservation (e.g. lift out)s, download local maps and tourist guides, be informed about the weather conditions in the area, etc.
The marina manager can also add new customer services or promote more effectively existing ones. The marina can also rent advertising space or include in its pricelists products and services of other related to the marina business. All these are having a positive impact to the bottom line of the marina.
