Streamline Marina Management with Pacsoft and ICT Integration
A Smarter Approach to Marina Access
Managing access at marinas and waterfront facilities presents unique challenges. Vessel owners, seasonal visitors, maintenance crews, and staff all need different levels of access at different times. Manual key and card management quickly becomes unworkable as facilities grow.
The integration between ICT’s Protege platform and Pacsoft’s marina management software solves this by automating access control based on real-time booking and membership data.
How the Integration Works
Pacsoft is a leading marina management platform used by marinas, boat clubs, and waterfront facilities worldwide. It handles everything from berth bookings and vessel tracking to billing and customer communications.
When connected to Protege, the integration enables:
- Automatic credential provisioning — when a berth holder’s booking is confirmed in Pacsoft, their access credentials are automatically activated in Protege
- Time-based access — seasonal visitors receive access only for the duration of their booking, with credentials automatically revoked at checkout
- Zone management — different user groups can be assigned access to specific areas such as boat ramps, fuel docks, amenities blocks, and parking
- Real-time synchronization — changes made in Pacsoft are reflected in Protege immediately, ensuring access rights are always current
Benefits for Marina Operators
Reduced Administration
Manual credential management is one of the biggest time sinks for marina administrators. This integration eliminates the need to manually issue, update, and revoke access cards — freeing staff to focus on customer service.
Improved Security
With access rights tied directly to active bookings and memberships, there is no risk of former members or expired visitors retaining access. The system enforces a zero-trust model where access is always earned, never assumed.
Better Visitor Experience
Vessel owners and visitors benefit from a seamless arrival experience. Their credentials work from the moment their booking begins, with no need to visit the marina office to collect a card or fob.
Ideal for Growing Facilities
Whether you manage a small boat club or a large multi-berth marina, the Pacsoft and ICT integration scales with your operation. As new zones, buildings, or amenities are added, access policies can be extended through the Protege interface without any changes to the Pacsoft workflow.
