OceanOps
A trusted marketplace for boat maintenance and marine services
OceanOps is a concept mobile app that helps boat owners quickly find verified marine professionals, post repair tasks, compare offers, and manage jobs end-to-end — from request to completion.
Problem Statement
Boat owners often struggle to maintain their boats because service discovery and hiring is messy:
Hard to find reliable pros for specific jobs like painting, varnish, engine repair, or electrical work.
Pricing is unclear, forcing owners to call multiple providers just to get a range.
Task tracking is scattered across calls, WhatsApp, and invoices.
Trust is fragile without clear profiles, reviews, or work history.
Result: owners delay maintenance, overspend, or risk hiring the wrong provider.
Solution
OceanOps brings boat maintenance into one clear flow:
Discover services by category (painting, engine, electricity, etc.).
Post a task in minutes with budget + photos.
Receive and compare offers from vetted craftspeople.
Hire confidently using reviews and transparent profiles.
Track progress + chat inside the app until completion.
Review the pro after the job to strengthen community trust.
Key Features
Homepage + Empty States
A calm home hub showing open tasks, active jobs, and a clear CTA to post a new task, even when the user is starting from zero.
Explore Services
A category-led marketplace that helps owners jump straight to the right type of help — painting, varnish, engines, electricity, or other services.
Tasks List
A single view of ongoing work with status clarity, so owners always know what’s active and what’s completed.
Craftsmen Profile
Trust-first profiles with expertise, ratings, and past work — built to reduce doubt before hiring.
Create Task Flow
A step-by-step task builder: Choose boat -> Select service type -> Add task details -> Upload photos -> Set budget and timeline -> Designed to feel quick, not form-heavy.
Offers Received
Multiple provider offers shown side-by-side with price context and trust cues, helping owners compare and decide confidently.
Impact (Concept Value)
Even as a concept, OceanOps is designed to improve real owner outcomes:
Faster service discovery through category-first browsing.
Clearer pricing confidence via side-by-side offers.
Lower coordination stress with built-in messaging and progress tracking.
Higher trust in hiring through verified profiles and reviews.
Reflection
This project pushed me to design for a real marketplace tension: speed vs. trust.
Boat owners want quick help, but they only hire when they feel confident in quality and price. OceanOps balances both by pairing a fast task flow with strong trust signals (profiles, reviews, past work) and clean job tracking.
