BerthPoint — Australian Marina Management & Berth Reservation Software

BerthPoint is our own Australian marina management and berth reservation platform. It was written from the way Australian dockmasters actually work — a walk down the jetty at first light, berth by berth, pedestal by pedestal — rather than from a generic overseas booking engine with a marina skin on it.

The office sees an interactive berth map instead of a spreadsheet: every berth drawn to scale with its LOA, beam and charted depth, every vessel sitting in it with owner, insurance, survey and contract expiry attached. Drag a vessel to a new berth and the system runs the fit check before it lets you commit.

On the dock, the daily dockwalk is a structured checklist on an iPad or iPhone. Pontoons, piles, fingers, cleats, gangways, power pedestals, RCD tests, fire equipment, spill kits and signage are all captured with a photo, a timestamp and a GPS position. Fail an item and a work order is raised automatically and stays open until it is closed out with evidence.

Power and water metering is part of the same dockwalk. The dockmaster keys or scans each pedestal reading, BerthPoint calculates consumption on the spot, flags anything negative or abnormal, and posts the charge to the berth holder's next statement with the licence fee, casual nights, pump-out and fuel — one invoice, no re-keying.

Insurance is handled on the day, on the device. At check-in the dockmaster photographs the certificate of currency with the iPad or iPhone, or texts the owner a single-use link so they upload it from their own phone standing on the pontoon. Insurer, policy number and expiry are captured, renewal reminders are set, and no gate key is issued until a current certificate is on file.

Everything posts through to the ledger you already run. BerthPoint syncs two-way with MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business, Xero, Reckon and QuickBooks Online, with GST codes and a chart of accounts mapped per revenue stream and tracking categories per jetty or site — plus journal-level export for Sage, NetSuite and TechnologyOne where councils and larger groups need it. Stripe card payments taken at the fuel dock, in the berth-holder portal and on casual bookings reconcile automatically to the customer account and your ledger.

Berth holders get their own portal for statements, payments, casual bookings, insurance uploads and absence notices, which frees the office from the phone. Everything is retained as an auditable, tamper-evident record for your insurer, your board and your WHS regulator.

Licensed per berth per month to Australian marinas, clubs, councils and multi-site operators, or bundled into our dockmaster management and advisory engagements. Hosted in Australia, supported in Australian hours, developed continuously in-house.
