In the boating world, precision matters — from the first quote to final delivery. But for Sydney-based boat dealer Nautilus Australia, managing the growing volume of quotes, assembly jobs, and customer requests was becoming a challenge.
That’s where MeMate came in — a single platform to handle everything from quoting to delivery, while keeping customer relationships strong and data tidy.
From Paperwork to Performance
Before MeMate, Nautilus relied on a mix of manual spreadsheets, PDFs, and emails to manage customer quotes and job progress. It worked — but it wasn’t efficient.
Each sale required:
- Manually preparing and sending quotes
- Chasing customer responses
- Tracking builds and deliveries through email threads
- Keeping separate lists for previous buyers
As demand increased, this fragmented system began to slow things down. The team wanted something more unified — without overcomplicating their process.
“We didn’t need a corporate ERP — we just wanted something clean, quick, and made for real-world use,” said a Nautilus representative.
A Faster, Simpler Way to Quote
With MeMate, Nautilus set up a custom quoting system tailored for marine retail and assembly.
Now they can:
- Create quotes in minutes using pre-set templates
- Include boat models, upgrade packages, and assembly options
- Send quotes directly to customers for review and approval
- Convert an approved quote into a job or delivery ticket instantly
All quotes are tracked under each customer record, meaning the team always knows who’s waiting on what.
“It’s one click from quote to confirmed sale — and that’s made a massive difference,” the team shared.
Delivery & Assembly Management, Done Right
Boat delivery isn’t a one-size-fits-all task. Some buyers want storage, others require full assembly or pre-launch inspection.
MeMate allows Nautilus to:
- Assign delivery and assembly jobs to specific staff or contractors
- Track each job’s stage (ready, in progress, delivered)
- Attach notes, photos, or compliance documents directly to the job card
This workflow keeps everything transparent — no missed steps, no confusion between sales and operations.
Keeping Every Customer Connection Strong
With MeMate’s built-in CRM (Customer Relationship Manager), Nautilus now maintains a complete history of every client and every order.
Each customer profile includes:
- All quotes and approved jobs
- Notes from past interactions
- Photos, assembly records, and delivery confirmations
- Automated reminders for follow-ups or maintenance checks
This gives their sales and service teams one clear view of the customer journey — from first contact to long-term care.
“The client history view is gold. If a customer calls, we can see every boat, every note, every invoice — right away.”
Structure Without Overhead
One of the biggest benefits for Nautilus was that MeMate didn’t require complex setup or IT infrastructure.
It’s cloud-based, easy to customise, and built for small-to-medium Australian businesses — not corporate giants.
The system brought structure to daily operations without slowing the team down. Everything — sales, delivery, admin, communication — now lives in one place.
