MARINA MATE


Tablet/Smart Phone Graphic for Marina Management Web Portal

Exploring the Web Portal

Offered as an option with the MARINA MATE, is a set of applications that can be executed from a browser.  When yacht club members, marina clients or marina staff sign in to the portal, the Web Portal menu is presented.  It's not made up from HTML web pages, but  rather software that is written and transformed into HTML using special system routines.  The portal can be launched from another PC or MAC, a tablet, or a smart phone using any of the web browsers.
The functions available are those that club members or marina clients could execute to manage their own profiles, review their current charges and past invoices.   There are also functions to view and request moorage posting, approve moorage renewals, sign up for special events, review Lounge Assessment status and view a list of Member or Client Rosters.  Access to the portal is only available to those individuals that have had a Web User Access record established with proper credentials.
For marina staff, there is a Dock Walk application that may be used daily to verify moorage assignment and confirm arrivals or departures.  There is also a Meter Read application that they can use on the docks to record hydro meter readings.
Those Guests that had made a reservation, when emailed to confirm their visit, can RSVP and provide an estimated time of arrival.
