Rhode Island based designer and boat builder, USWatercraft, LLC (USW) recently selected PierVantage for Boat Builders to help them manage their growing business. USW plans to leverage PierVantage for its various brands including Alerion Yachts, C&C Yachts, True North Yachts, and Waterline Systems.
USW joins other highly respected boat builders such as GUNBOAT, Lyman Morse Boat Building Company, Front Street Shipyard, Schooner Creek Boat Works and Derecktor Shipyards in their choice to use PierVantage to help overcome key business challenges like accurately tracking true costs associated with each boat build and managing their Just-In-Time inventory purchasing process.
“There is strong demand right now for both our sail and power boat lines,” said Randy Borges, President of USW. “As our company continues to grow at a rapid pace, it is important for us to invest in a more modern technology platform built specifically for building and servicing boats. PierVantage for Boat Builders is the only modern technology solution on the market, so the choice was easy for us,” said Borges.
Up until this point, Boat Builders have relied on a handful of non-integrated non-marine specific software products such as Microsoft Project, Microsoft Excel, Quickbooks, and others. PierVantage for Boat Builders is a fresh new option for owners, project managers, purchasing managers, and controllers to turn to for a comprehensive integrated business management solution.
“The PierVantage team is excited to be working with USW, one of New England’s fastest growing boat builders,” said Navroze Eduljee, founder and CEO of CorVant, creators of PierVantage. Recent enhancement to our solution including, the ability to stage materials during the creation of the build plan, the automatic generation of timed purchase requests and integrated project management capabilities are greatly improving efficiency for our boat building customers,” said Eduljee.
As the marine industry gains momentum, the PierVantage team continues to see a growing demand for a business management solution that is easy to implement and easy to use, backed by a team that delivers on its promises.
