Looking for a Pinpoint Works alternative?
Fair's fair: Pinpoint Works made snagging genuinely pleasant, pins on a site plan, clean lists, and yards and build teams took to it for good reason. If you're here, it's usually because the yard period ended and the boat needs more than a worklist. I build KODO, so judge my bias accordingly.
A worklist for the project, or a system for the boat
Pinpoint is project-shaped: a defect list against a location plan, superb during a new build, refit or warranty period, when the job is to drive a list to zero with a yard. KODO is boat-shaped: issues are reported by any crew member with a photo, become tasks, maintenance jobs or projects, get resolved with corrective actions an auditor accepts, and stay in the vessel's permanent memory. A refit worklist is one output of that system, exportable as a numbered contractor-facing PDF.
The question that decides it: what happens when the list hits zero? If the answer is "the project ends", Pinpoint served you well. If the answer is "the boat keeps operating and keeps forgetting", the worklist was never the real problem.
Stay put if
- You are mid-build or mid-refit and the shared snag list with the yard is the entire requirement.
- The location-plan pinning workflow is central to how your build team and contractors communicate.
- After delivery, another system (or none) is already decided for daily operations.
Talk to us if
- You want defects to live in the same system as the tasks, maintenance and history of the operating boat.
- You want the yard-period worklist AND the operating system that takes over the day the guests arrive.
- You want issues raised by any crew member to end in verified corrective actions, not just a closed line item.
We keep this table fair. Pinpoint Works's product evolves like anyone's, so verify their side directly with them; we'll correct anything they tell us we've got wrong.
What people ask us
Is KODO a replacement for Pinpoint Works?
During a build or refit, they overlap on the worklist. After it, they part ways: Pinpoint is a project tool, KODO is the operating system the crew run every day, with the refit worklist as one export among many. Boats mid-build sometimes finish the project on Pinpoint and start operational life on KODO.
Can KODO produce a yard worklist?
Yes. Open defects, project tasks and near-misses package into a numbered, contractor-facing worklist PDF for the yard, and every line stays connected to the vessel history after the yard period ends.
What does KODO cost compared to Pinpoint Works?
KODO is €1,000 per vessel per month with every module and unlimited crew accounts included, published publicly. Pinpoint quotes on request; compare like for like against what your boat needs after the project too.
The other systems people weigh up
Most boats shortlist two or three before they choose. These are the same comparison, written the same way.
