Capture Every Ship Repair Quote, Project, and Variation — Never Leave Revenue on the Table

A ship repair yard lives on two numbers: how much of its quoted work it wins, and how much of the work it actually does ends up on an invoice. Both leak when the business runs on email and spreadsheets. A quote goes out and is never followed up; a job is delivered with three variations that nobody captured. The money is not lost to competitors so much as to disorganisation. HelloGrowthCRM puts enquiries, projects, approvals, and variations on one record per owner so the yard can see, and bill, everything it does.

Every repair starts as an enquiry, and most yards have no clear view of how many are open or how many convert. HelloGrowthCRM gives each enquiry the owner, vessel, and scope, and moves it from enquiry to quoted to won or lost. The result is a pipeline the yard can actually read — what is outstanding, what is landing, and which kinds of jobs are worth quoting harder for.

When a vessel is in dock, every hour counts, and the schedule cannot live on a whiteboard that only the project manager understands. HelloGrowthCRM tracks each project through docked, in progress, sea trial, and delivered, so the commercial team, the planners, and the superintendents share one live view of the workload instead of three different versions of it.

A vessel cannot sail until class is satisfied, and a single outstanding approval can hold delivery and rack up berth costs. HelloGrowthCRM tracks each class item against its vessel and society — DNV, Lloyd's, ABS and the rest — and flags what is still outstanding, so the yard chases approvals during the project rather than discovering the gap on delivery day.

Most repair profit hides in variations: the extra steel, the added staging, the unplanned overhaul once the casing is open. Work that is not recorded the moment it is agreed tends to be done for free. HelloGrowthCRM logs each variation against its project with a value and a status — open, approved, invoiced — so the yard bills the work it does. Keeping enquiries, projects, approvals, and variations on one shared record is how a repair business protects both ends of its margin at once.
