They are different businesses and the entry point changes. In a shipyard the first project is usually in quoting and the stores. In a marina or a club, it is in berth management and in member and customer information."},{"pregunta":"We are a small shipyard. Is this for us?","respuesta":"We work with companies of 20 to 500 people, and many of our yachting clients sit at the lower end of that range. Size doesn't decide it: what decides it is whether there is a process that repeats and costs money every week. Calculating parts-store minimums or rebuilding quotes by hand meets both conditions with twenty people or with two hundred."},{"pregunta":"What about the owner's data?","respuesta":"It is treated as what it is: sensitive information about a client who usually expects discretion as well. The architecture phase decides where each piece of data lives, what leaves the system and who can see what. All of that comes before choosing a model. When data must not leave, we work with privately hosted models."},{"pregunta":"Our history is on paper and in network folders. Is that any use?","respuesta":"More than it seems. Scanned haul-out reports, job sheets and specifications in PDF are exactly what a knowledge assistant works from. First you have to look at the volume and the condition: whether the scans are legible, whether there is a minimal folder structure and whether the important documents are complete."},{"pregunta":"How long before the first result shows?","respuesta":"It depends on the process and the state of the data, not on the sector. What we do say upfront is which number has to move, and that is agreed before we start: in provisioning it is usually the stock-out rate. Giving a date before opening your job sheets and purchase history would be guessing: in a shipyard, much of the timeline is set by the state of the haul-out files."},{"pregunta":"Doesn't seasonality complicate everything?","respuesta":"It does, and it is also the reason the work pays off here. In a seasonal business, a provisioning mistake can't be put right in August: you pay for all of it. That is why the minimum-stock calculation has to build in each supplier's real lead time and the curve of the season, not an annual average."},{"pregunta":"A lot of the work is done by outside contractors. Is that part of the project?","respuesta":"Whatever passes through your hands is: the quote you ask them for, the invoice they send you and the hours you charge to the haul-out. That is half the cost of a refit and the part least under control, because it arrives on paper and in different formats. What we don't do is get into the contractor's own system: we work with what they hand you."}]}]},"yoast_head":"\nAI in yachting: shipyards, marinas and refits | Todoesdata<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"AI in yachting and the wider blue economy: refits quoted from past jobs, berths off the spreadsheet and calculated stock.
