Upload the factory order and the boat builds itself.

Factory order form intake for boat dealers, without retyping the order. Upload the order acknowledgment PDF. BoaterOS reads it, matches the model to the manufacturer spec catalog, and builds the hull and listing for you to confirm.

New vessel wizard with order-PDF intake
/ What it does

From PDF to a listing you review

Factory order form intake for boat dealers is a step in the vessel wizard. The vessel wizard accepts a manufacturer's order acknowledgment, extracts the order number, model, specs and options, and asks you to confirm or correct the model against the spec catalog. One save creates the hull, a hidden draft listing and its photos, ready to publish.

  • AI reads order number, model, specs and options from the PDF
  • Matched to a manufacturer spec catalog so specs and stock photos prefill
  • Warnings for brand and model mismatches and HIN builder-code mismatches
  • Placeholder HIN until delivery, then swapped for the real HIN on receipt
  • AI-drafted description and SEO title for the listing, editable
  • The original PDF stays attached, renamed by brand, model and order
/ How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Upload the order

    The PDF is stored and read. If you have no PDF, enter the order number and find the boat by year, make and model.

  2. 02

    Confirm the match

    Review what was extracted and pick or correct the catalog model. Nothing is trusted without your confirmation.

  3. 03

    Review specs and photos

    Specs and stock photos prefill from the catalog. Add or capture your own.

  4. 04

    Save and set up the listing

    One save writes hull, draft listing, photos and the factory order, then walks you through pricing, description and SEO.

What it doesn't do yet

A person confirms every match

AI proposes, you decide. There is a known accuracy gap on one manufacturer's order layout that has not been cleared.

Spec catalog covers four brands

Catalog import parsers exist for four manufacturers. Another dealer's brands need new parsers.

No hull-plate photo step

Reading the HIN from a photo of the hull plate is not built.

/ Questions

What dealers ask about this

The extraction reads order PDFs generally, but matching depends on the spec catalog, which covers four brands today.

You correct it at the confirm step before anything is saved.

Yes, on the hull's original factory order panel.
