Lift-out season, without the evening paperwork

Vorker drafts the winter-storage renewals, compiles the lift-out schedule, files each boat’s condition photos and raises the storage invoices. You approve everything.

FAQ

Will it send anything to an owner without me seeing it?

No. Every offer, invoice, email and text is prepared and then waits for you. You can read it, edit it, reject it, or approve it and schedule it to go out later. Nothing sensitive happens on its own.

How does it know who to send the renewals to?

It works from last season’s list: every boat you stored, its berth and what it paid. Each renewal is drafted per owner, and you read the batch before anything is sent. Owners who sold their boat come off the list when you say so.

What do the condition photos actually solve?

The argument in May. You photograph each hull as it clears the water, and Vorker files the photos to the boat’s record, dated at the lift. When an owner asks about a scratch six months later, the answer is a record, not a memory.

Can it handle the scheduling?

It compiles the replies into a lift schedule by week, cradle and keel depth, and drafts the confirmation to every owner with their day and time. You approve the schedule before anyone is told, and moving a boat redrafts the messages it affects.

We are a family yard, three of us. Is this too much?

That is the size it is built for. The six weeks of autumn are exactly when there is no spare pair of hands for the office. Vorker is for firms of one to five people, not for marina chains.

Do I have to learn a new system?

No. You text or talk to it the way you would text the office, and it works inside the tools you already use: your email, your calendar, your accounting. Schedules and invoices arrive as ordinary PDFs.
