Boat Shrink Wrapping Business Software (2026)
Shrink wrapping is a per-foot quote with add-ons, crammed into a six-week fall season. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) saves the per-foot rate and the vent, door, and mast lines as a catalog, turns a quote into an invoice in one tap, and takes a deposit up front so a booked boat is a paid boat.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the seasonal wrapper's real workflow — per-foot quoting with add-ons, deposits, and fast fall-season invoicing — not on marina or storage-yard management.

A season, not a year
Fall wrapping is a sprint: quote fast, book fast, wrap before the weather turns. The bottleneck is almost never the heat gun — it’s quoting, chasing deposits, and remembering who agreed to what.

The add-on lines that pay for the software
- Vents — priced each
- Zippered access door — priced each
- Mast up — a per-foot surcharge
- Spring removal and disposal — its own line
Itemized, every one of those gets paid for. Bundled into a round number, half of them quietly become free.
Frequently asked questions
How should I quote a shrink wrap job?
Per foot of length overall, with vents, access doors, and leaving a mast up priced as separate add-on lines. Saving those as a catalog means a quote is three taps instead of a fresh calculation on every call.
Should I take a deposit for fall wrapping?
Yes. The season is short and a no-show costs you a slot you can't refill. A deposit at booking — collected by card when the customer accepts the quote — turns a maybe into a scheduled job.
How do I handle spring shrink-wrap removal billing?
Price removal and disposal as its own line, either bundled into the fall quote or invoiced separately in spring. Keeping it visible stops the argument about what the fall price included.
Does a six-week season justify paying for software year-round?
The books do. Deposits, invoices, and card payments recorded in one place through the season mean tax time is an export rather than a shoebox — and the same account handles whatever you run in the off-season.
