Mobile fuel management<br />

Within days of launching a redesign of its websites<br />

www.scribblesoftware.com and www.marinaoffice.net,<br />

Scribble Software has launched marinaGO POS v2, its<br />

newest mobile point-of-sale app with integrated fuel<br />

management. Built for the iOS and Android platforms, the<br />

marinaGO point-of-sale is claimed to be the first native<br />

mobile app in the industry to offer real-time integrated fuel<br />

management and is available for the iPhone, iPad, iPod<br />

and Android devices.<br />

Described as the ‘mobile<br />

dockhand’, marinaGO POS<br />

frees marina operators<br />

from traditional countertop<br />

point-of-sale stations and<br />

fuel consoles by offering<br />

completely wireless<br />

integrated fuel dispenser<br />

control and sales register<br />

capabilities in the palm of<br />

the hand while out on the<br />

fuel dock. The app users will<br />

be able to easily control fuel<br />

dispensers, complete fuel<br />

transactions and tender any<br />

other type of sale with the<br />

use of merchant-supported<br />

payment methods including<br />

credit cards. A unique feature<br />

for the marina industry<br />

includes the ability to include<br />

any sale, including fuel<br />

transactions, on internal<br />

ticket charges.<br />

“The marinaGO POS<br />

fuel management app will<br />

revolutionise the marina<br />

industry,” says Vance Young,<br />

director of technology for<br />

Scribble Software. “<strong>Marina</strong><br />

staff are now able to devote<br />

their attention to providing<br />

better service at the fuel<br />

dock by offering start to<br />

finish fuelling activity without<br />

leaving the customer’s side.”<br />

The marinaGO POS app<br />

features a mobile sales<br />

register and integrated fuel<br />

management. It supports<br />

most fuel dispenser brands<br />

and types (gasoline/petrol,<br />

diesel, blended and other<br />

fuel types) and completes<br />

sales with cash, cheque and<br />

credit card payments. The<br />

product also supports mobile<br />

magnetic card readers (MSR)<br />

and synchronises sales to<br />

back office accounting.<br />

The app can be<br />

downloaded in the iOS<br />

iTunes app store or the<br />

Google Play app store.<br />

Taking control of ‘daily inspections’<br />

High tech learning and simulation training company Mymic Training Technologies has released a new smartphone<br />

app designed to help marinas and boatyards with equipment and facility inspections.<br />

Electronic Marine<br />

Equipment Checklist or<br />

eMEC is available on<br />

both Google Play and<br />

iTunes. Designed to help<br />

marinas complete OSHA<br />

required daily inspections<br />

for forklifts and travel lifts,<br />

eMEC allows the user to<br />

scan a barcode, complete<br />

a machine-specific safety<br />

check and upload the<br />

record to cloud storage for<br />

retrieval at a later date as<br />

needed.<br />

Mymic director of marina<br />

safety programmes, Robert<br />

Smith, explained: “Our<br />

goal is to help marinas and<br />

boatyards enhance safety<br />

programmes and OSHA<br />

compliance by leveraging<br />

technology. eMEC is a perfect<br />

tool to quickly and easily<br />

conduct the required OSHA<br />

daily inspection and create<br />

the records needed.”<br />

Rick Chapman, general<br />

manager at The Port of<br />

Sunnyside Club in Stillwater,<br />

Minnesota, one of the first<br />

to adopt the app, said it has<br />

made life much easier. “In<br />

the past I struggled with<br />

my travel lift and forklift<br />

operators to get them to fill<br />

out and maintain our daily,<br />

OSHA required, inspection<br />

log. Once I had the app<br />

installed on their smart<br />

phones, they took ownership<br />

of the daily inspections<br />

immediately and I can check<br />

to make sure the inspections<br />

have been submitted without<br />

ever leaving my desk,” he<br />

noted.<br />

The company has plans<br />

to continue expanding<br />

its marina safety training<br />

programme in the near<br />

future, adding new on-site<br />

instructor training such as<br />

the OSHA 10 course and<br />

CPR training.<br />
