Case study

Problem

Boat owners lack transparent pricing for dockside maintenance, while mobile marine technicians waste hours locating boats across vast marina docks.

Solution

Horizon Labs developed a marine dispatch marketplace combining geolocation mapping, NOAA weather safety triggers, and escrow payment holds.

Delivered as a 45-day fixed-price sprint.

Outcome

Architected in 45 days ($18,500–$27,500 ceiling). Connected yacht and boat owners with mobile certified marine mechanics via GPS slip dispatch, weather-aware reschedule triggers, and pre-authorized service holds.

  • GPS-based slip and marina pinpoint dispatching for mobile mechanics
  • Weather API integration for automated small-craft advisory reschedules
  • Pre-authorized Stripe payment escrow released on vessel owner sign-off
