Largest recreational boat and yacht retailer with integrated marina, brokerage, and manufacturing operations
MarineMax operates a vertically integrated marine lifestyle business spanning dealerships, marinas, superyacht brokerages, boat manufacturing, and charter vacations across 120+ global locations. The tech stack reflects a retail operation in transition: Acumatica (ERP), Snowflake + SQL Server (data warehouse), Qlik + Tableau + Power BI (analytics), alongside emerging adoption of DocuWare (document automation) and Algolia (search) while phasing out Dynamics 365. Pain points cluster around operational friction—inventory turnaround, repair work queues, open work orders, AP workflow inefficiency—and compliance burden (AML regulations), suggesting the company is modernizing legacy processes rather than building new digital products.
