Customer Testimonials - PierVantage 1

"We have used both small custom software solutions and large corporate enterprise platforms that claim they can do it all. The problem is they don’t adapt well and modifying them to our shipyard is a nightmare. PierVantage is different – I am impressed with the team and with its capabilities. With the continual product enhancements, organized implementation process and great support, I am pleased with my decision to purchase PierVantage for our growing shipyard.”

Doug Dixon, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer – Pacific Fishermen Shipyard and Electric, LLC, Seattle, Washington

Customer Testimonials - PierVantage 2

“Moving to a modern platform like PierVantage will give us better control over our inventory, provide us with the data we need to manage our various locations, divisions and departments, and reward our employees in a timely fashion using the productivity reports available."

Testimonials - Piervantage

"After using various accounting software in my accounting career, Pier Vantage is one of those most intuitive applications. This is surprising because PierVantage was all new to me when I joined Schooner Creek Boat Works. Once you get to know the standard navigation process that is very similar to all modules, particularly on the searching and adding records, it becomes a breeze to work with it from there. Reporting is very important in an accounting software. Pier Vantage has an array of standardized reports that serve management needs. For more advanced report users, Pier Vantage includes customized reporting, which is very helpful."

Fidel Devera, Controller – Schooner Creek Boat Works, Portland, Oregon

Customer Testimonials - PierVantage

"I was looking for cutting edge technology to help me better manage my business. I wanted better control and visibility over my financial operations and PierVantage gave me that and a lot more. With over 80 employees working on many different projects, I needed better control over the parts for each project and the labor for each task. PierVantage helps us to track the flow of parts and materials from the initial estimating stages all the way through the billing process."

PierVantage Makes a Move Down Under

"We needed a solution to give us the ability to obtain reliable and timely information from our Accounting Software. We chose PierVantage because they offered a cost-effective solution to our problem. It is rare to find an "off the shelf" product that can deal with the vagaries of a complex manufacturing business. PierVantage also worked with us to adapt the program for the Australian market."

Geoff Collins, Chief Financial Officer – Hart Marine, Melbourne, Australia

Tom Allen - PierVantage

"I don’t think changing operating software platforms is something any business owner or its employees look forward to. It is difficult to change from something that is not broken. We wanted a platform whose architecture and flexibility was built for tomorrow. With PierVantage’s cloud-based solution, we don’t need to worry about evaluating our software platform every 10 years to keep up with the times -- release updates are seamless. Not having to worry about maintaining dedicated server platforms is a big plus and having access to our data from anywhere enhances both our efficiency and customer service. The quality and detail of information that can be extracted in simple and clear report formats is impressive and reflects their understanding of our industry. Any decision worth making should not be easy. Though our decision to change was not, CorVant’s support team made the transition for us much easier than I anticipated. Their level of post implementation service only affirmed our decision."

Tom Allen, President – Kittery Point Yacht Yard, Kittery, Maine

Dixon’s Marine Group

“We are extremely fortunate to be building and servicing boats for our customers at a rate we have not seen in the last 15 years. We had a strong desire to upgrade to ONE solution that was built specifically for our business and PierVantage offered that to us. The functionality is intuitive, the PierVantage Team knows the boat building business, and the implementation process was extremely well organized. With PierVantage, I have a lot more confidence to bring our business to the next level."

Janine Dixon, General Manager – Dixon’s Marine Group 2000 Inc., Nova Scotia, Canada

Tracy Morris - PierVantage

“PierVantage is cloud based and is easy to navigate through a web browser. I can have multiple browser tabs open allowing me to multi-task and be much more productive. I usually have a dozen tabs open at the same time, giving me quick access to all the PierVantage screens that I typically use. PierVantage is definitely better than the other boatyard management systems I have used before.”

Tracy Morris, Accountant – Great Island Boatyard, Harpswell, Maine

Nate King - PierVantage
