Sharing Booking Access with the Customer App

To allow guests to access their reservation in the Customer App, booking access must be shared directly from the Dashboard’s Booking Detail page. Once shared, the guest can securely view booking details through the Customer App, ensuring transparency and reducing the need for manual communication.

Pre-Check by the Guest (Customer App)

Pre-Check is a convenient pre-arrival inspection process that allows guests to review the boat and report any issues before reaching the marina. Through the Customer App, clients can quickly complete the checklist and highlight a problem by adding a note or photo. This creates a smoother, more transparent onboarding experience and helps prevent delays or misunderstandings during check-in. All Pre-Check submissions are instantly synced with the system and become visible in the booking details for the operational team.

Check-In & Charter Start

During on-site check-in, the operations team reviews all Pre-Check submissions directly within the workflow. Reported issues can be resolved, marked as completed, or converted into tasks and assigned to team members. Once check-in is completed, the booking status automatically changes to On Charter, indicating that the trip has started.

Creating a new task takes only a few seconds, and task details can be accessed instantly.

Task & Project Management on the Dashboard

The Sail Atlas web dashboard provides a powerful control center where all tasks and projects can be managed in full synchronization with the Operation App. From the dashboard, users can view, edit, and create tasks for any boat, as well as browse all projects and their subtasks with ease. Tasks and projects can be filtered by boat, task name, or status, giving teams a clean and organized management experience. One of the dashboard’s key strengths is the ability to create project templates. This enables teams to build predefined workflows for large-scale operations such as “Winter Maintenance,” “Pre-Season Preparation,” or “Engine Service Package.” These templates can be applied to any boat or fleet with a single click, helping standardize operational processes, save time, and ensure no critical steps are overlooked.
