Locations & Sub-locations Customisation - Catalogue the precise locations where your inventory items reside.

[non-English articles provided by machine translation of the English original]

TheBoatApp provides you with the ability to use Locations & Sub-locations to catalogue the very precise location of each item on your inventory. No more endless searches and wondering where is that spare part that is now needed. You know exactly where you have it and so they know all your sharing fellows.

Since each boat has her own storage spaces, you are provided with the ability to setup your very own locations, customised to fully-fit your own needs. For even greater granularity, sub-locations are also provided in order to make sure that you don’t simply book in general the whereabouts of an inventory item but you do so with laser-focus (e.g. cabin-closet-box-etc).
