Default Vessel Management Software

Vessel Management Software

Working on feature set for design of a vessel management software suite...

What are the things you'd like a package to provide as it relates to your
boating?
Things like stores, asset inventory, to-do lists, fuel consumption, parts
for mechanical items (filters, impellers, etc.), cruising log, contact
management, things that expire (registration, fire-extinguishers, FCC
licenses, etc.).

Any ideas appreciated.

I hear this is a good one:

If you want to try to improve yacht management software, one of the
most important steps could be accepting that most people don't go
boating to fiddle with a darn computer. (others do, of course). Maybe
including the things that people *ordinarily* write down anyway, like
maintenance intervals, log entries, last fuel and oil change hours,
etc is enough. When I use up the last of a critical store, my last
inclination would be to go fire up a PC and make a notation of the
fact--- I'd be more likely to go the the nearest supply source and
replace it.
