SUSTAIN CONTINUOUS GROWTH

Ocean Pacific Marine Store & Boatyard has been supporting the boating and marine communities of Campbell River, British Colombia, since 1985. With a dedicated team of 20 employees, this full-service boatyard and marine store provides repairs for boats in addition to offering retail products.

In 2007, Ocean Pacific Marine underwent yet another transformation when it opened its current location at the Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre. Thanks to the move, they expanded and became the largest boat repair yard north of Victoria - with their Marine Travelift being the biggest on all of Vancouver Island!

Realizing that this growth was going to continue, Ocean Pacific Marine decided it was time to look for a solution that could help them scale. That's why they turned to SAP Business One. This powerful tool has allowed them to seamlessly integrate into the marine industry while supporting their ongoing expansion.

SAP BUSINESS ONE: MULTIPLE PROCESSES INTO ONE SINGLE SOLUTION

SAP Business One not only provided Ocean Pacific Marine with the tools and capabilities it needed for success but also integrated multiple processes into a single solution. 
"We've seen that the SAP system is going to allow us to incorporate all of those supplementary processes into one system” explains Laura Kempling, the company’s Human Resources and Administration Manager.

This allowed them to streamline their operations, manage projects more efficiently, and quickly keep track of their finances. The user-friendly platform has helped them gain greater insights to make better decisions along the way.

The implementation of SAP Business One has been a massive success for Ocean Pacific Marine. Thanks to this solution, they are now able to keep up with the needs of their customers and deliver superior services. Ultimately, it has enabled them to grow even further and better integrate into the marine industry.
