TallyBoat: A Groundbreaking Cloud-Based Platform for Boat Management in the Sailing & Yachting Industry
TallyBoat was created to revolutionize boat management in the Sailing & Yachting sector, which still relies on outdated, cumbersome, and costly methods. This innovative platform aims to facilitate a complete digital transformation for the industry, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs while also improving customer service.
The term “Tally” signifies accurate recording, counting, management, and reporting of data, encapsulating the platform’s mission to integrate and oversee all boat-related processes and data, ensuring seamless operations.
In an interview with “Naftemporiki,” TallyBoat’s CEO and founder, Dimitris Rantos, explained that the concept for this digital platform emerged from the industry’s pressing need to update how pleasure boats are managed. He stressed that current practices are outdated and inefficient, underscoring the need for a comprehensive digital solution.
According to Rantos, one of the primary challenges facing companies in boat management, rentals, and sales is the absence of a unified digital solution that addresses all aspects of management—from boat sales and charter procedures to maintenance and compliance with legal and accounting standards. He pointed out that many companies are hindered by fragmented tools, such as emails and spreadsheets, leading to errors, delays, and elevated operational costs. TallyBoat aims to automate every aspect of boat management, connecting all parties involved—boat owners, managers, suppliers, crews, charterers, and passengers—while minimizing bureaucracy.
Additionally, he highlighted that TallyBoat ensures adherence to the General Data Protection Regulation, the EU’s regulations on personal data, as well as compliance with the My Digital Accounting & Tax Application and integrated e-tameiaki and e-POS payment systems.
This fully cloud-based solution empowers industry professionals to work more intelligently, swiftly, and efficiently, Rantos noted.
In terms of competitive advantage, Rantos stated that TallyBoat stands out from other solutions by not solely focusing on one element of boat management, such as sales or charter reservations. Instead, it offers an all-encompassing “Work & Communication Environment,” integrating all operational stages of a boat: from equipment monitoring and maintenance to charter bookings, fault recording, expense tracking, and automatic supply ordering. He also emphasized that this digital tool guarantees complete financial transparency regarding payments, invoices, fees, and charges, along with real-time communication and notifications for owners, agents, crews, and passengers.
