Canadian payments first. Mobile first. Moorings treated as the core feature they actually are.
The incumbents were built for golf resorts and hotels somewhere else. A mooring ball gets treated like a hotel room, a member statement reads like a hotel folio, and Canadian debit gets charged like a US credit card.
No native Interac. No real mobile app. No support in your time zone. Clubs make do with workarounds and spreadsheets.
Confusing line items pile up until members call the office to decode their own bill. Staff burn hours explaining and correcting.
Members reaching for debit get charged like they're swiping a US Visa. The fee is structural, and it compounds on every transaction.
A 2,000 lb ball can't hold a 12,000 lb boat, but the software doesn't know that. So online booking stays turned off and the phone keeps ringing.
Purpose-built for the way a Canadian yacht club actually runs, starting with the things that hurt the most.
Plain-language line items. Members see exactly what they owe and why, so the office stops fielding "what is this charge" calls.
See a real invoice →Filter by year, category and status, and get exactly that. One ledger behind everything, so every report agrees. Export what you see.
Filter a live report →Interac, e-Transfer and tap-to-pay handled as what they are. Debit processed as debit, billed in Canadian dollars, no FX surprises.
See the pay flow →Enter weight and length, and only safe, available balls come back. Transient pricing calculates itself. Online booking finally turns on.
Try the ball matcher →iOS and Android. Pay dues in two taps, book a transient ball, register for races, RSVP to events. Push notifications, not chase emails.
Open the member app →Kids' program charges roll up to the parent's account automatically. Parents see everything from day one, no workarounds.
See the season breakdown →If the left column sounds familiar, you already know why we built this.
Subscription fees and US payment processing shouldn't flow south every year. Helm is built in Halifax and runs on Canadian payment infrastructure.
No USD-anchored pricing, no FX surprises on the club's statement.
Push notification, Apple Pay or Interac debit, reconciled automatically.
Halifax-built. Same neighbourhood, same harbour. Calls answered same day.
Your data stays yours: full export rights, no lock-in. A platform should earn your renewal, not trap it.
A walkthrough takes about thirty minutes. Bring your hardest reporting question and your most confusing member statement, and we'll show you both fixed.
