SessDevSaltvane Boatworks · Build notes · Concept demo
Enter every order once. Let the floor see what's next and the dock know when — and stop paying for re-typing, phone tag and the option nobody built.
A concept demo for visual reference only — I don't use fixed templates. Your system is designed and built custom for your shop; use this to picture how yours could work and grab the ideas you like.
The problem
Saltvane Boatworks is a fictional made-to-order builder with three models and a four-station line. The demo is the software any custom shop lives without: a dealer submits a build in three steps, the factory approves it and moves it station by station, delivery closes it with a checklist, and the owner reads the yard in four numbers — all from the same record.
The order arrives by email, gets re-typed into a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet is the truth until someone forgets to update it.
The dealer enters the build once — model, colour, options, customer — and that record is what the floor and the owner read.
Hours a week back, and no version of the order that disagrees with another.
The floor learns what is next by someone walking over to ask, and a boat leaves without the trailer that was paid for.
A station board with every boat, its options, its days in station and who is waiting — moved with one button.
The floor builds what was sold. Missed options go to zero.
The customer learns the delivery date by calling the dealer, who calls the yard, who checks with the floor.
The dealer's screen shows the station, the percentage built and the expected date — and a message thread both sides share.
Nobody calls to ask. Dealers who can see the line sell into it.
The toolbox
Everything in this demo is interactive — here's what your shop can run from one system.
Live in this demo
A three-step build order: model, colour and options, dealer and customer — with the total as you go.
Live in this demo
A dealer view with every order's station, percentage built and expected date, plus a shared message thread.
Live in this demo
A factory board across four stations with capacity, days in station, holds and one-button moves.
Live in this demo
A five-point delivery checklist that closes the order and updates the dealer's screen.
Live in this demo
An owner view: boats in build, value on the line, orders waiting, on-schedule count, days per station — and what the system replaces.
Built to grow
One entry per order instead of three; no status calls; the owner's numbers compile themselves.
Every ordered option on the station sheet; every hold visible; nothing leaves the dock unchecked.
Dealers see open slots and quote into them; the yard's capacity becomes something they can sell.
Under the hood
Dealer, factory and owner views read and write the same order, so nothing is copied and nothing drifts.
An order can only move to the next station, only be delivered when ready, and only close after the checklist.
Each station knows how many boats it holds; an over-capacity station is flagged before it becomes a late one.
The order desk assistant answers where a boat is and what a model costs from the same data the screens use.

Wired up in production
Concept demo only. Saltvane Boatworks is a fictional made-to-order boat builder — its models, dealers, people and orders are invented, and it is not a client project.
No fixed templates here — every build is designed from scratch around your shop. Use this demo as a visual reference: picture how yours could work and grab the ideas you like. Then I build yours around your brand, your services, and the way you actually work — launched fast and priced fairly because the hard engineering is already solved.
