SuperYacht ServicesMahé, SeychellesSo you fly into the Seychelles to join your million(s) pound super yacht, berthed at SuperYacht Sevices Marina facility in Mahé. While your bags are set aboard, what do you do? You go to the VIP lounge on the dockside.
|
SuperYacht Marina in the Seychelles choose CounterPoint to run their new VIP loungeIt was to provide tilling services for the new VIP lounge that SuperYacht Services contacted Kudos, as part of a group using Access Accounting they needed a system that interfaced with Access Dimensions but they also needed a configurable solution and one supported with retail expertise.
They chose retail specialist Kudos Software’s CounterPoint product. Specially designed to run a real time interface with Access, CounterPoint handles the sales of products on the Access stock records, allowing charging to cash, ‘tab’ or account. Better still, Kudos was a “one stop shop” able to source a suitable state of the art touch screen terminal for their interior designed lounge area and to provide training and configuration expertise.
![]() The equipment was shipped preloaded, and Kudos Software's Tom Hole went with it to optimise the configuration. He trained a team of 7 including Guybert, Head of Accounts Department, Sylvie who runs the office and bar, and Dominique in IT. Some of the training was on site, some was at their head office.
Their major requirements were that the system had to integrate into Access Dimensions and they also wanted the touch screen interface. They had the usual bar setup, selling drinks and some food, where tables would open tabs and settle them when they left. The slight difference was that customers may have an account with SuperYacht Services as their yacht was berthed in the marina, and therefore they would want to put the tab onto their account (within Kudos and Access) and be invoiced fully at the end of their stay.
SuperYacht Services added the stock module to Access so that Tom could enter stock on Dimensions which then synchronised with CounterPoint. He was also able to setup stock quantities, enabling full stock control all of the drinks, and setup users’ Dallas Keys to control access and to allow rapid processing of many overlapping transactions. He also set up the currency requirements for this very international operation.
A busy few days left little time to enjoy the islands – and with temperatures of 30 degrees in high humidity working in air conditioning was a plus. But Tom came home satisfied that he had set up a super solution for the SuperYacht crowd!

CounterPoint for Branches Pays for Itself in Time and Money!They installed their first CounterPoint till in late October 2008. By early December, they had rolled out CounterPoint across all their branches.
What led to the change of plan? We asked Director Paul Edmonson
"Our previous solution had gone downhill in terms of service and support, and we were comfortable with Kudos size and personal touch, both in sales and subsequently support. It’s been very good, very personal. If a till has a problem, you need it fixed there and then because it costs money otherwise - that’s where the other company didn’t care. Kudos is different: I can ring up with a problem and that problem will be fixed as soon as it’s physically possible.” How Did You Find The Training? What Was Most Important to You? What About Multi Branch Aspects? Has It Helped Ordering? How does it help Branch Managers? How Does it Pay for Itself? So the proof of the Kudos pudding at Shared Earth is in the eating – it looks like Kudos is the recipe they’ve been waiting for! |
