Sentinel Barges
A sectional barge sales site with a configurator and quote pipeline, built and operated by Novatech.
Who it's for
Built for sectional barge buyers
Contractors and operators in the US and Canada researching custom-built sectional steel barges. Novatech builds and operates the sales platform: public catalogue, configurator, quote intake, proposals and the CRM behind them. The barges themselves are built by Canadian Barge Builders; Novatech does not manufacture barges.
What it does
What's in it
Product catalogue
Custom-built sectional steel barges in 8, 10 and 12 ft widths and 3, 4 and 5 ft heights, with pages for standard, heavy-duty crane, back-lake and custom builds, options such as rakes, ramps and spuds, the pin system, inventory and financing.
Configurator and quote request
A colour configurator for the barge, and a quote form that captures the model, project type and site details into the pipeline.
Proposals customers can answer
Quotes go out as private links that store only a hash of the token, and a customer can accept or decline once, atomically.
CRM with pipeline and tasks
Leads move through new, contacted, qualified, quoted, won or lost with values, notes, customers, follow-up tasks with reminders, team roles and reports.
Search content and SEO tooling
Guides, industry and location pages with semantic internal linking, a daily SEO audit, drafted improvements approved in the dashboard, and IndexNow pings.
Owner notifications
Push alerts and a morning digest of new leads, due tasks and quotes awaiting an answer.
How it works
From setup to daily use
- 01
A visitor configures and asks for a quote
They browse models and options, pick colours in the configurator and send a quote request with their project details.
- 02
The lead enters the pipeline
The team sees it immediately, with a stage, a value and the history of every change.
- 03
A proposal goes out as a private link
The customer opens it, reviews it and answers once; the pipeline updates on its own.
- 04
Follow-up runs on tasks and digests
Due tasks and quotes awaiting an answer surface in the morning digest so nothing sits.
