The marine shop's daily battle

Seasonal rush of haul-outs and winterizations overwhelming the shop with no capacity planning
Boat owners calling weekly for status updates on repairs that take weeks to complete
Parts on backorder with no system to track which jobs are waiting on what
Losing spring commissioning customers because winterization follow-ups never got sent
Spending weekends writing up estimates and invoices for complex marine repairs
No system for tracking vessel history, engine hours, or maintenance schedules per boat

Sound familiar?

📞 Boat owner calls daily asking "Is my 34-footer done yet?"...

🔧 Impeller on backorder for 3 weeks - job sitting in the bay...

📋 Fall haul-out season starts in 2 weeks - schedule is already a mess...

💰 $8,500 estimate sent a month ago - owner never responded...

⏰ Spent Sunday creating invoices for 15 completed winter storage jobs...

🚤 Customer went to another yard because you forgot to send the spring reminder...

Every lost seasonal customer is $2,000-$10,000 in annual revenue gone.

Marine Repair Shop FAQ

How does Dewx help marine shops manage seasonal rushes?

Dewx gives you a visual capacity planner for haul-out and launch seasons. See how many bays are booked, which boats are in progress, and where bottlenecks are forming. Automated scheduling prevents overbooking, and boat owners get real-time updates so they stop calling for status checks. Plan your fall haul-outs and spring launches months in advance.

Can Dewx track parts on backorder for marine repairs?

Yes. Each work order has a parts list with status tracking - ordered, backordered, received, installed. When a part arrives, Dewx notifies the technician assigned to that job and updates the boat owner automatically. You can see at a glance which jobs are blocked waiting on parts and which are ready to proceed.

How does vessel history tracking work in Dewx?

Every vessel gets a complete service history - engine hours, maintenance performed, parts replaced, and photos from each service. When a boat comes back for service, you instantly see everything that has been done before. This helps diagnose issues faster and recommend preventive maintenance based on actual usage data.

Can Dewx automate winterization and commissioning reminders?

Absolutely. Set up seasonal campaigns that automatically reach out to boat owners before haul-out season and again before spring launch. Dewx sends personalized reminders based on each vessel's service history, making it easy for owners to book their seasonal service with one click. This fills your schedule before the rush hits.

Is Dewx suitable for small marine repair shops?

Yes. Dewx works for everything from one-person mobile marine mechanics to large boatyards with multiple bays and technicians. The platform scales with your business - start with basic work orders and communication, then add capacity planning and seasonal automation as you grow. Starting at $49/mo.
