Choosing fleet maintenance software? Compare what matters at sea.

Demos happen in offices with perfect Wi-Fi. Your vessels don't. Use these operational criteria to compare any platform — including ours.

By starting point

Where are you coming from?

From Spreadsheets & email

Outgrown the maintenance spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets are where most fleets start: flexible, familiar and free. But once you manage more than a few vessels, version conflicts, emailed attachments and manual consolidation quietly become the biggest maintenance risk you have.

From Cloud-only PMS tools

Cloud-only works in the office. Ships aren't offices.

Browser-based maintenance tools are quick to deploy, but they assume a reliable connection. At sea that assumption fails exactly when a breakdown needs recording. NauticalFlows inverts the model: the vessel works locally, shore consolidates when it can.

From Legacy on-premise PMS

Keep the offline reliability. Lose the 2005 user experience.

Older onboard systems earned their place by working offline. But replication scripts, manual updates and dated interfaces make them expensive to run and hard to love. NauticalFlows keeps offline reliability and adds modern sync, release control and AI.

Ask every vendor

Eight questions that separate demos from reality

We built NauticalFlows to answer every one of these on a real vessel.

  1. 1What exactly happens to a work order completed on board while the vessel is offline?
  2. 2When is a vessel record considered ‘synced’ — on send, or on server acknowledgement?
  3. 3How much bandwidth does a normal day of synchronisation use?
  4. 4Can a superintendent search every vessel for one equipment model or serial number?
  5. 5How are postponement requests approved, and where is the decision recorded?
  6. 6How are vessel software updates released, and can we see which vessel runs which version?
  7. 7Can AI answers be restricted to our own approved documents, with source references?
  8. 8Who customises the system when our process changes — and how quickly?
