Flagship Towing
Marine assistance for Florida and Texas boaters — memberships, on-water towing, and emergency access. MERN stack plus React Native: member app, React admin, and a web signup for new customers.
Challenge
A disabled vessel doesn’t wait on a call center. Members need coverage they can prove on the phone, a captain they can reach, and a way to join before they’re already in the water — without three disconnected systems.
Solution
Built the product across three surfaces on one MERN backend: React Native for members (home, memberships, services, location, emergency), a React admin for operations, and a web flow for new customers to sign in and become members.
Architecture
- 01MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js as the shared platform
- 02React Native member app — iOS and Android store delivery
- 03React admin for memberships, users, and service operations
- 04Web signup/signin for new customers
- 05Membership tiers: saltwater, freshwater/lake, and commercial
- 06Coverage map, vessel photos, authorized users, and emergency contacts
Engineering challenges
- One domain across app, admin, and web — memberships and service requests, not three copies of the user model.
- Emergency paths as product: call now, 911, Coast Guard, and on-water dispatch — not buried in a FAQ.
- Store delivery on Google Play and the App Store under Pixel Genesys.

Outcome
Live as Flagship Towing on the App Store (5.0) and Google Play — 24/7 towing, jumps, fuel, ungroundings, and propeller help for recreational and commercial members.
