Managing a fleet of boats — whether you're a marina, boat storage facility, or service company — involves juggling countless maintenance tasks, customer communications, and technical data. VoltSense HUB was built to solve this challenge.
The Problem with Traditional Maintenance
Most boat service providers still rely on spreadsheets, paper checklists, and manual inspections. This creates several pain points:
- Reactive instead of proactive: Problems are only discovered during scheduled visits
- Poor visibility: No real-time insight into battery health, bilge activity, or environmental conditions
- Manual workflows: Technicians spend hours on paperwork instead of actual repairs
- Customer frustration: Owners don't know what's happening with their boats
- Lost revenue: Issues escalate into costly emergency repairs
How VoltSense HUB Changes Everything
HUB is a cloud-based fleet management platform designed specifically for marine service professionals. It combines real-time IoT data from VoltSense P2 devices with powerful workflow tools.
Real-Time Fleet Monitoring
See the status of every boat in your care at a glance:
- Battery voltages across all vessels
- Temperature and humidity trends
- Bilge pump activity and alerts
- GPS location (with owner permission)
- Last communication timestamp
Proactive Alerts
HUB doesn't just show data — it tells you what needs attention:
- Low battery warnings: Catch failing chargers before batteries die
- Temperature extremes: Prevent freeze damage or overheating
- Bilge pump patterns: Identify slow leaks before they become emergencies
- Device offline alerts: Know immediately if a P2 stops reporting

Real-World Impact
Case Study: Nordic Marine Storage
"Before HUB, our team of three technicians was responsible for 120 boats in winter storage. We'd do monthly walk-throughs, but issues often went undetected for weeks. Last winter, we caught 14 failing battery chargers and 3 bilge pump failures before they caused damage. HUB paid for itself in prevented insurance claims alone."
Measurable Benefits
- 67% reduction in emergency callouts during off-season
- 45% faster completion of winterization workflows
- 92% customer satisfaction with transparency and communication
- 3.2 hours saved per week on manual reporting
