    Sound Familiar?

    Running a boat yard shouldn't feel like this

    Paper job cards that get lost or damaged

    Whiteboard schedules that nobody updates

    Forgotten billable hours and materials

    Double-booked zones and lift slots

    Month-end invoicing chaos — hours reconciling jobs

    'Who agreed what with the customer?' — nobody knows

    There's a better way.

    One system. One source of truth. Accessible to your whole team, from anywhere.No more guesswork. No more chasing. No more chaos.

    Why Yard Manager?

    Purpose-Built for UK Boat Yards & Marine Workshops

    Most workshop software is designed for car garages or general trades. Yard Manager is the only cloud-based platform designed specifically for the UK marine service industry.

    Visual zone scheduling

    Drag-and-drop Gantt-style scheduling across hard standing, workshop bays, lift bays, and pontoon storage. See your entire yard capacity at a glance — no more double-booked zones or forgotten haul-outs.

    Work orders with customer approval

    Build estimates with labour, parts, and subcontractor costs, then send a one-click approval link to the boat owner. They sign off online — no email back-and-forth, no scope arguments later. Stale and expired approvals are flagged for you.

    Live engineer timers + Smart-Bing nudges

    Engineers start and stop work straight from the job page. Smart-Bing prompts them to log labour at the right moments so nothing falls through. Hours and costs roll up onto the invoice automatically.

    Parts catalogue & service templates

    Reusable parts and service items with cost, sell price and VAT. Add them to a work order in one tap; stock levels and margins are tracked for you.

    Photo evidence on every job

    Engineers attach before/after photos to each work order from any phone. Customers see the work; you have an audit trail for disputes and insurance.

    One-click invoicing & online payment

    Generate an invoice from a completed job in seconds. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay via a secure link or QR — funds settle to your account automatically.

    Boat & customer database

    Every boat that enters your yard gets a permanent record — dimensions, engine type, service history, owner details. When a customer calls about their boat, you have the answer in seconds.

    Reports built for boatyards

    Work orders, approvals, parts usage, invoicing and recovery — every report exports to CSV and PDF with your filters and totals attached. No spreadsheet wrangling at month-end.

    UK data & compliance

    GDPR-compliant data handling, VAT-ready invoicing, and all data stored in UK/EU cloud data centres. Built by a UK company for UK marine businesses.

    Live Dashboard

    Everything at a glance

    No more hunting through spreadsheets or checking multiple systems. Your entire operation, visible in seconds.

    DMS tier · £199/month

    Full Dealer Management System

    Quoting and job tracking is just the start. The DMS tier turns Yard Manager into a full Dealer Management System — store-linked parts, branded service records, automated reminders and a customer-facing job tracker.

    Shopify / WooCommerce store link

    Connect your existing online store. Engineers tap 'View in store' on any part and jump straight to the matching SKU — or a clean search fallback if the SKU isn't on file.

    Branded boat service-history PDFs

    Generate a brokerage-grade service record for any boat in one click. Your branding, every job, parts and certificate — perfect for handovers, surveys and resale.

    Automated service reminders

    Set recurring services (annual, hours-based, seasonal) once and the system emails owners before they're due. Suppression windows stop reminder spam.

    Customer job tracker

    Owners follow their job from their phone — status, photos, approvals and invoice — through a secure share link. No app, no login, no calls asking "is it ready?"

    Margin reporting

    See real margin on every job: parts cost vs sell, labour hours vs charge-out, subcontractor pass-through. Cut quietly unprofitable work without guesswork.

    Frequently Asked Questions

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

    The UK's Dedicated Boat Yard Management Platform

    Running a boat yard in the UK means juggling haul-outs, workshop schedules, customer communications, and invoicing — often with nothing more than a whiteboard and a stack of paper job cards. Yard Manager by PayCamp replaces that chaos with a single cloud-based platform designed specifically for the marine service industry.

    Unlike generic workshop management software built for car garages or general trades, Yard Manager understands the unique workflows of UK boatyards: zone-based scheduling (hard standing, lift bays, workshops, pontoon storage), boat-specific service histories, and the seasonal rhythms of the marine industry. It works for a solo marine engineer running jobs from a van and for a full-service boatyard with multiple zones and a team of technicians.

    Every feature has been designed around the way UK boat yards actually work: drag-and-drop job scheduling that shows your entire yard at a glance, job cards that automatically calculate labour, materials, and subcontractor costs, and one-click invoicing that eliminates the end-of-month scramble. When a job is complete, send a pay-now link or QR code and collect payment online via PayCamp Payments or your own Stripe account — no chasing, no per-job fees. Your customers and their boats stay linked in a permanent database — so when someone calls about their vessel, you have the full history in seconds.

    Yard Manager is built and supported by a UK company, with all data stored in UK/EU cloud data centres, GDPR-compliant data handling, and VAT-ready invoicing. Plans start from £29/month with no per-job fees, no subscription commissions, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
