PierVantage continues to add new customers as boatyards realize turning to modern technology gives them quick access to information and a competitive advantage. Gamage Shipyard, a full service boatyard in South Bristol, Maine, recently decided to put QuickBooksTM back on the shelf and move to “The Cloud” with PierVantage for Boat Yards.
Steve Morris, General Manager of Gamage Shipyard wanted a solution that would give him access to the information he needed to run a more efficient, growing boat yard.
“We have been thinking about moving to a better platform for a few years now and after meeting with the PierVantage Team, we gained comfort with the implementation/conversion process, which seemed to be holding us back from taking the plunge. We implemented PierVantage in April and we are already seeing significant value in PierVantage from an operational control perspective. When our technicians enter their hours, notes, and materials they use on projects throughout the day directly into the system, it is pretty powerful to monitor and track job costs ~real-time.”
Gamage Shipyard is spread out, so having an integrated solution in the cloud made a lot of sense to keep the operational and financial data flowing quickly.
“Gamage Shipyard is one of the oldest and most respected yards on the Maine Coast,” said Navroze Eduljee, founder and CEO of CorVant, creators of PierVantage. “The Gamage team is very methodical in their approach to servicing boats for their customers that come back year after year. Rory Cowan (Owner), Steve Morris (General Manager) and Larry Kelsey (Office Manager) wanted to improve their inventory control, track job costs with much more precision, and service their customers better by having quick access to information when they called or stopped by the yard to check on the progress of their boat. The PierVantage team is excited to be supporting Gamage Shipyard as they position their business for continued growth,” said Eduljee.
