ABS Wavesight, the ABS-affiliated software-as-a-service company, announced the launch of the latest module of Nautical Systems – Web, the highly anticipated web-based version of its flagship NS platform. During the opening session of the 24th Annual Nautical Systems User Conference, Staci Satterwhite, ABS Wavesight CEO, was on hand to make the announcement and was joined by Gregg Pelowski, Director for Total Force Management with the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command, to discuss their early adoption and the benefits of NS – Web.

Building on the robust foundation of the on-premise Nautical Systems software, NS – Web delivers the powerful features and functionality required for modern fleet management, enhanced with the flexibility, accessibility, and scalability of a web-based solution.

The release of the Crew and Payroll module marks a significant milestone in ABS Wavesight’s commitment to driving innovation and enhancing operational efficiency in the maritime industry through technology advancements.

“The release of this latest NS – Web module represents a new chapter in our journey to support the maritime industry in its digital transformation,” said Satterwhite. “We understand the challenges that this rapidly evolving landscape presents our clients, and we are confident that bringing the Nautical Systems platform to a web-based environment will provide them with not only the tools they expect and need from us but also now with the flexibility and scalability required to operate more efficiently, securely, and collaboratively than ever before.”

“Nautical Systems is a key component of our overall management strategy to revolutionize every aspect of MSC’s Civil Service Mariner program, helping us simplify and drive efficiency across our growing fleet of Combat Logistics and Fleet Support vessels,” said Pelowski.  “When fully implemented, this modern, cloud-based system, will streamline our fleet management process while enhancing our ability to scale and optimize operations as we provide reliable, web access from ship to office to every CIVMAR wherever they may live.”

NS – Web retains the trusted features that have made Nautical Systems an industry standard. By transitioning to a web-based platform, ABS Wavesight empowers maritime companies to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
