Marine parts & supplies · Florida
Software for Florida marine parts distributors.
Futurise builds dealer and boatyard ordering portals, fitment-aware catalogs and order desks for Florida marine parts and supplies distributors — the businesses supplying boatyards, dealers, marinas and charter fleets, where the part has to be the right part, the dealer has their own price, and the season decides the volume.
Futurise is a remote studio with a US line, +1 (954) 469-9764, answered at any hour. We have no Florida office and don't pretend to; we meet in Florida for the projects that call for it.
See it first, on fictional data: orders.futurise.studio is a wholesale ordering portal and factory.futurise.studio a production tracker.
Florida's marine industry is a supply chain of its own: engines, electronics, rigging, consumables, moving from distributors to boatyards, dealers and marinas along both coasts. The distributor's problem is not demand. It is that every order is a fitment question — which engine, which year, which side — answered by a person on the phone who knows, and unanswered when that person is out.
We build the catalog that carries the fitment and the portal that lets a yard order against it: the dealer's own price, backorders shown honestly, the substitute suggested when the exact part is out. The order lands in your system without anyone retyping it. The phone stays for the questions that genuinely need the person who knows.
It runs alongside the accounting you keep, and it does not try to be a full ERP.
Where it breaks
The four things we keep finding.
The fitment answer that lives in one head
Which impeller for that outboard, that year. The person who knows is the bottleneck and the single point of failure.
Backorders nobody can see
The yard ordered, the part was not there, the boat sat on the hard for a week nobody warned them about.
Dealer pricing in a spreadsheet
Tiers, contract prices, the big yard's override. One file, no history, edited by hand on the invoice.
Season in a fixed office
Every yard prepping for the same weeks. The phone is the ceiling.
What we build
One slice first, then the next.
The one slice of your order flow costing you hours today: an ordering portal, an order desk or a production tracker. Then the next.
Dealer ordering portal
Per-dealer pricing, reorder from history, honest availability and backorder status, usable on a phone in the yard.
Fitment-aware catalog
The part, what it fits, what substitutes — so the routine question answers itself and the expert handles the hard ones.
Order desk
Every order in one queue whatever channel it came through, exceptions stopped visibly, nothing retyped.
AI order intake
Emailed parts lists and photos of hand-written orders read against the catalog and drafted for approval.
On the ground
What’s actually different here.
Every local fact carries its source and its year.
Florida has 611 sporting and recreational goods wholesalers — the Census class that includes marine pleasure-craft equipment and supplies — employing 4,887 people, 11.4% of the US total for that class (share computed).
The state's 220 boat-building establishments employ 12,173 people and are 23.7% of all boat builders in the United States (computed from the 2023 state and national files).
538 establishments provide support activities for water transportation — marinas, boat yards and port services — 122 of them in Broward and 89 in Miami-Dade.
Broward's 106 marine-class wholesalers employ 1,355 people, more than Miami-Dade's 112 do (665) — the yard-supply trade concentrates around Fort Lauderdale (comparison computed from the county files).
Straight answers
The questions, answered up front.
Our catalog is thousands of SKUs with fitment. Is that too much for a first build?
A first build does not load every SKU — it loads the lines that carry your volume and proves the fitment model on them. The catalog clean-up that makes the rest loadable is usually the real first project, and AI does that tedious normalization well with a person approving the merges.
Can dealers see backorders and substitutes?
Yes, and they should. Showing a wrong availability number is worse than showing none, so the build either shows honest stock or flags short lines at confirmation, and suggests the substitute where one exists.
Can we see it before we call?
Yes: orders.futurise.studio is a live wholesale ordering portal and factory.futurise.studio a live production tracker, both on fictional data. We don't show client screens or name clients — every Florida client we have is confidential — so the demos are the proof.
What does it cost?
There is no price list, because there is no standard build. You get a fixed price in writing after a 20-minute call, before any work starts. Most first builds go live in two to four weeks, training is part of the build, and 30 days of care are included. Call +1 (954) 469-9764 or book at futurise.studio/book .
Are you based in Florida?
No. Futurise is a remote studio with a US line answered at any hour, and we meet in Florida for the projects that call for it.
Bring the step that breaks.
Twenty minutes with the person who builds, on a US line, any hour. Not in Florida? The same builds, for distributors anywhere in the US.
