Make your business more successful financially: spend less - achieve more* (* in less time!)
SM adds to your profit
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!
SM enforces Security over sensitive information
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.
SM improves Customer Satisfaction
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!

Successful Marina Web 
(Online Reservations-Sales of products / services)
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.
Dont you want your customers to be able to learn about your services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Dont you like the idea of giving them the freedom to send their berth request even during night hours and pay for it in advance? Wouldnt 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.
