TallyBoat is a revolutionary, cloud-based boat management platform that brings digital transformation to the Sailing & Yachting industry.
The idea of TallyBoat was born from the need to modernize the way of managing boats in the Sailing & Yachting sector, which today is still based on anachronistic, time-consuming and expensive processes, so that in the “future” it can move to a complete digital transformation. With its enormous potential, it can help companies in the leisure boat sector to improve efficiency, reducing their operating costs, but also to offer better services to customers or users.
The word “Tally” means recording, counting, managing and reporting data accurately. It exactly reflects the philosophy of the platform – to unify and manage all the processes and data of a boat, while ensuring smooth operation.
Speaking to “Naftemporiki”, TallyBoat CEO and founder Dimitris Rantos pointed out that the idea for the digital platform was born from the need to modernize the way in which pleasure boats are managed in the industry, which today is still based on anachronistic, time-consuming and expensive procedures, so that in the “future” it can transition to a completely digital landscape.
He emphasized that the main problem that pleasure boat management, rental and sales companies face today is the lack of a single, digital solution that covers every aspect of management, from the sale of a boat, the procedures for its charter, maintenance, as well as legal & accounting compliance. “Most companies in the industry operate with scattered tools, emails, spreadsheets and printed documents, which leads to errors, delays and increased operational costs,” he noted, while pointing out that TallyBoat was designed to automate every aspect of boat management, connect all stakeholders (boat owners, managers, suppliers, crews, charterers and passengers) and reduce bureaucracy.
In addition, he stated that the digital boat management solution ensures compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, the EU regulation on personal data, the My Digital Accounting & Tax Application, which concerns the electronic platform of the AADE (Independent Public Revenue Authority) for electronic bookkeeping, as well as the e-tameiaki, e-POS payment systems that are integrated into the digital platform.
This is a fully cloud-based solution that allows every professional in the field to work smarter, faster and more efficiently, he stated.
Referring to the competitive advantage of the new digital tool, Rantos said that the TallyBoat Platform differs from other solutions, as it does not focus only on one aspect of boat management (e.g.: sales and charter reservations), but constitutes a comprehensive “Work & Communication Environment”, unifying all stages of a boat’s operation: equipment monitoring and maintenance, charters and reservations, recording of faults and work planning, monitoring of expenses, but also managing supplies with an automatic ordering system. He also explained that the new digital tool ensures full transparency in financial transactions related to the management of payments, invoices & fees & charges, as well as real-time communication, with notifications, to owners, agents, crews and passengers.
