The feed is current within a second. Portals come and read it on their own schedule.
Distribution
NautiX 1.4 and Open Marine 1.7 distribution: your boat listings reach the portals every night, without you.
Nothing to install. Your boats are already there.
The XML address from your current tool.
Boats, photos, descriptions, no duplicates.
Your two addresses go out to the portals.
Your data stays yours. Export your catalogue in the standard format whenever you like, including on your way out.
Only boats actually for sale are counted.
No. Flowboat runs in a browser, on a computer or a phone. Nothing to install, nothing to update.
If your current tool publishes an XML feed, you give us the address and the whole catalogue comes over at once, photos included. Otherwise an export file is enough. We do the migration with you when the account opens.
Flowboat produces two feeds in the market standards, NautiX 1.4 and Open Marine 1.7. The portal comes and reads your address. We set up the connection with each portal when your account opens.
Any portal that accepts the NautiX 1.4 or Open Marine 1.7 standards, which covers most European and British marine listing sites. You hand them your feed address once and they come and read your catalogue.
Yes. Flowboat holds the stock, the boat records, the distribution and the buyer follow-up. If your current tool publishes an XML feed, the migration takes a day, photos included.
As many as you need. The number of accounts is not part of the price: only the number of boats for sale counts.
They move to sold, leave the feeds automatically and stay available in your archive. They are not counted in your pricing tier.
The subscription is month to month, with no commitment. You export your catalogue in the standard format and take your records and your photos with you.
On a server located in Germany, inside the European Union. Passwords are stored hashed, never in clear text, and each dealership is isolated from the others.
What dealers ask before they change tools
A boat CRM brings a dealership's stock, technical records, photos, buyers and live deals together in one place. It differs from a general-purpose CRM through fields that belong to the marine trade — length, draft, engine, rig, sail inventory — and through its ability to publish listings to the specialist portals.
Portals are not filled in by hand: they read a feed, an XML file your software exposes at a fixed address. You hand that address to the portal once, and it comes and fetches your catalogue at regular intervals. A boat edited in the morning is up to date everywhere by the evening, with no re-typing.
NautiX is the XML standard for marine listings in Europe, maintained by Nautic Network. Version 1.4 describes a boat in fine detail: hull, engine, rig, equipment, photos with their checksum. Open Marine 1.7 plays the same role in the British market. A compliant feed is checked by the standard's official validator before portals accept it.
Three questions settle it. Does the software actually publish to the portals, or must you re-enter the boat elsewhere? Does it carry the real detail of a used boat, sail wear and the year of each item, or only a list of words? And can you get your catalogue back if you leave? A tool that holds your data hostage is not a tool, it is a dependency.
The needs genuinely differ. Selling new boats revolves around quotes and configuration; selling used boats revolves around the record, its real condition and its distribution. Flowboat is built for brokerage and used boats: the stock, the writing of the listing and publication to the portals.
