Boat Meters

Feature Description


The Boat Meters feature for EliteMarinas introduces a flexible and intelligent way to manage utility metering across the marina. Unlike traditional berth based meters, Boat Meters are directly associated with the vessel itself, allowing readings and billing to follow the boat regardless of its location within the marina. This ensures continuity and accuracy in consumption tracking, even when boats are relocated. The feature leverages the same proven process and meter reading journal used for Berth meters, ensuring consistency and ease of use. Meter readings can be invoiced directly, streamlining revenue collection and improving operational efficiency.

🔷 Important

This feature functionality is only available in version 26.8 or later of EliteMarinas. View which version you are on in the Extension Management view within Business Central.
