DockMaster (software)
DockMaster is a marine business management software platform developed to support marinas, boatyards, and marine dealerships. Founded in 1984, the software offers modules for marina management, service management, boat sales, inventory control, accounting, and payments globally.[1]
History
DockMaster was founded in 1984, aiming to streamline business operations for marine-based enterprises. The software was one of the first in the industry to offer integrated modules tailored specifically to the workflows of marinas, service yards and boatyards.[2]
In 2017, DockMaster was acquired by Valsoft Corporation, a Canadian-based firm specializing in vertical market software investments.[3] Valsoft later placed DockMaster under Aspire Software, its operating group for software companies.[4]

In 2019, DockMaster launched a mobile app to extend its capabilities to smartphones and tablets, aimed at marina staff working off-site.[7]
Market and Recognition
DockMaster operates within the broader marine management software and harbor management systems market, projected to grow significantly through 2032 due to increasing demand for digital operations in marine services.[8]
