Donald Grover
FRACTIONAL CTO, FOUNDER OF GROVER WEB DESIGN
As a Fractional CTO, I help Boat/Parts Manufacturers and Marine Dealers with complex technology decisions, system integrations, and to scale efficiently.
Technology Leadership for the Modern Marine Industry
Boat builders and marine companies are navigating more complex technology waters than ever. Your production systems, dealer networks, supply chains, and customer technology all need to work in harmony. But, most marine brands don't need a full-time CTO.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Donny Grover, Founder of Grover Web Design, and I help marine manufacturers simplify complex technology, integrate their systems, and build scalable digital foundations that support growth.
Whether you’re trying to streamline order management between your factory and dealer network, modernize your website architecture, or bring data visibility to your finance department, I act as your on-demand technology partner to make it happen.
Problems I Solve For Manufacturers
Dealer Communication Gaps
Outdated price lists and specs slow sales. I build dealer portals that keep information current and accessible 24/7.
Disconnected Systems
Finance, operations, and production often work in silos. I integrate systems to keep data accurate and flowing smoothly.
Sales Enablement for Dealers
Manufacturers want dealers selling more, faster. I deliver tools that give dealers instant access to the latest marketing and product assets.
Warranty Management Headaches
Manual warranty tracking wastes time and causes errors. I implement systems that streamline claims from start to finish.
ERP Migrations and Integrations
I help manufacturers get full value from their ERP — migrating data, rolling out new functionality, and connecting key tools.
Problems I Solve For Dealers
Scattered Inventory Management
Many dealers juggle inventory data across multiple systems. I help consolidate everything into one streamlined home base saving time and reducing errors
Inefficient Marketing Data Feeds
A properly configured data feed gives your listings top visibility on platforms like Boat Trader. I ensure your marketing feeds are accurate, optimized, and driving real results.
Hidden and Inflated Vendor Costs
Marine dealers are often overcharged for digital tools and services. I help identify and eliminate unnecessary fees — keeping your tech spend lean and effective
