    Visual Job Scheduling

    See every job in your boatyard at a glance

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about site management software and how PayCamp can help your operation.

    Boat yard management software is a digital platform designed for marine workshops, boatyards, and service centres to manage their day-to-day operations. It replaces whiteboards, paper job cards, and spreadsheets with a visual system for job scheduling, zone management, labour tracking, and invoicing. PayCamp Yards is built specifically for UK boat yards — from small one-person workshops to full-service boatyards with multiple zones and staff.

    Spreadsheets quickly become unmanageable as jobs pile up. You lose track of what's in which zone, who agreed what price, and whether the invoice was sent. PayCamp Yards gives you a visual calendar showing every job across your yard zones, with status tracking from enquiry to invoice. Everything is searchable, nothing gets lost, and invoices generate automatically from logged labour and materials.

    Yes, PayCamp Yards supports all job types — workshop repairs, antifoul applications, haul-outs, lift-ins, winterisation, and storage. Create zones for your hard standing, workshop bays, and lift slots, each with capacity limits. Schedule lift-in and lift-out dates alongside the work in between. You'll always know which boats are in the yard, where they are, and what stage the work is at.

    Absolutely. The PayCamp Yards Engineer plan at £29/month is designed for owner-operators running small workshops. You get job scheduling, zone management, customer records, and one-click invoicing — everything you need without paying for features you won't use.

    Log subcontractor work against any job, including their rates, hours, and materials. When you generate an invoice, you can see your true margin — your charges minus labour, materials, and subcontractor costs. This visibility helps you quote more accurately and ensures you're not working for free when external contractors are involved.

    Yes — on the DMS tier, every job has a customer-facing tracker link. Owners follow status, photos, approvals and invoice from their phone, with no app and no login. On lower tiers you can still share photos and updates by email; the tracker is what owners get on the £199 DMS plan.

    Shipyard (£99) covers everything you need to run a busy multi-zone yard — work orders, parts, labour, photo evidence, invoicing, advanced reporting and phone support. DMS (£199) adds the dealer-management layer on top: a Shopify or WooCommerce store link so engineers jump from a fitted part to the matching SKU, branded boat service-history PDFs ready for handovers and surveys, automated recurring service reminders to owners, a customer-facing job tracker, and margin reporting on parts and labour. Same login, same data — upgrade or downgrade any time.

    No job limits on any plan. All PayCamp Yards plans support unlimited jobs and customers. Plans differ by features (compliance tracking, labour templates, advanced reporting) and support level — not by volume. Whether you complete 10 jobs a month or 100, the price stays the same.

    Yes, on Workshop and Yard plans. Track BSS certificates, insurance, and other documents with expiry alerts. When a customer's boat arrives in your yard, you can see at a glance if their paperwork is in order. Customers can even upload documents directly via a self-service portal, reducing your admin workload.

    PayCamp Yards is focused purely on workshop and boat yard operations — job scheduling, zone management, and invoicing. It doesn't include mooring management, booking calendars, or berth tracking. If you run a marina with moorings AND a workshop, use PayCamp with the Yard add-on (£25/month extra) instead. PayCamp Yards is for boatyards that don't need marina features.

    No per-job charges. One flat monthly fee covers everything. If you enable PayCamp Payments for online card processing, there is a 2.9% + 30p fee per transaction — this covers Stripe processing and platform costs. Alternatively, connect your own Stripe account and pay Stripe directly with no PayCamp fee.

    Yes. All data is encrypted and stored securely in UK/EU data centres with automatic backups. You control who has access, with staff permission levels so casual helpers can view the schedule without accessing customer finances. PayCamp is built with UK GDPR compliance in mind.

    Yes — 14 days free, no credit card required. Set up your zones, add a few test jobs, and see how it fits your workflow. If it's not for you, just don't subscribe.
