Our Yacht and Sailing Club solutions continue to go from strength to strength, with Smart working closely with our clubs on innovative new features.
We have a strong presence in the Yacht Club sector, with customers in Ireland, England and Wales and our longest relationships date back over 15 years with clubs such as Royal Cork Yacht Club.
The majority of our clubs use the complete range of solutions which we provide, delivering comprehensive clubs and membership management features across the membership database, members App and cloud, EPOS tills and stock control linked to smart cards, as well as access control.
We have also developed a range of innovative Boats Management features in our database and App and these are considered in more detail below.

As we deliver solutions across diverse sectors, we recognise that there will be additional sector-specific requirements within the main membership database. We have relevant integrations in place to help streamline membership management and other activities in sectors such as tennis, golf and GAA.
In relation to the boats sector our core Membership database has been expanded to manage activities such as:

Our innovative EPOS and Stock Control software is designed specifically with clubs in mind, with membership features including use of membership smart cards and the member digital ID in our app to access prepaid member balances and thereby avail of discounted pricing. Member prepaid balances can be topped up in our app or at the till. Other standard features include:
The Stock Control side then provides comprehensive stock management including all relevant reporting for onsite, multi-site and online environments as well as integration across tills, tablets and online e-shop.
Example stock control features and reports include:
We supply all relevant kit including touchscreen tills, tablets, printers, barcode scanners and card readers while also providing a full design and print service on smart cards and fobs.
We have delivered access control solutions to many leading Yacht clubs in Ireland and the UK for over fifteen years.
Access control is generally based on use of our Smart membership cards and fobs for scanning at specific access readers around our clubhouse, grounds and storage areas. Permissions can be set for member access at relevant points depending on their category of membership, gender, time of day, etc. If relevant, we can also assign a charge-per-swipe for entry at certain access points.
The evolution of the Digital ID within our app now also means that members can scan their smartphone for access control alongside the use of cards/fobs. The first Yacht Club to use this feature was the National Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire.
Our Smart cards and fobs are used across our EPOS tills and access control solutions.
Members can also access a Digital ID within their Smart Club App as an alternative to the traditional card or fob, and our recommendation on relevant readers will be determined by whether or not the Club wants members to be able to use the Digital ID.
We manage card design, printing and personalisation and we have also supplied proximity wristbands for several clubs.
