ClearCourse, provider of software and embedded payment solutions, has acquired the marina management system Harbour Assist.
Based in Cornwall, Harbour Assist was founded in 2013 and is a cloud-based marina management system that integrates customer relations, communications, asset management, invoicing and reporting into a single software package.
The software serves a diverse range of marina and harbour clients across the UK, Canada, Fiji, Mexico, New Zealand, US, Australia, and the Middle East.
The software focuses on enhancing administrative efficiency, improving customer service, and providing tools for managing moorings, berths, billing, and communication with boat owners.
The acquisition by ClearCourse will additionally provide the platform with access to embedded payment tools as well as additional development resources.
“We are delighted to welcome Harbour Assist into the ClearCourse Group,” said Christina Hamilton, ClearCourse CEO. “As a market leader and disrupter in marine and harbour software, Harbour Assist acquisition underscores our aim for success in 2024.
It’s very exciting to join the ClearCourse group at this crucial stage in our growth journey.
