GoDock: a dock booking marketplace on the web and in mobile apps
Boaters find and book transient dock space by the hour, dock operators manage their docks, prices and reservations, and the platform handles payments and its commission.
What had to work better
GoDock needed a booking marketplace that serves boaters, dock owners and the team operating the platform. Availability had to account for vessel dimensions and dock configuration, alongside pricing, reservations and payments.
