ABS Wavesight Nautical Systems (NS) is a marine ERP for fleet and crew management from ABS Wavesight, a maritime SaaS company built on the foundation of the ABS classification society. Shipowners and managers use it ashore and on board through interoperable modules: NS Maintenance Manager for planned maintenance and certificate tracking, NS Purchasing Manager for requisitions, quotations, purchase orders and spares inventory by vessel and warehouse, plus drydock, HSQE, crew, document and voyage modules. Through Makini's Unified API, where the connection exposes them, an inventory optimization product reads stock for critical spares and consumables, compares it with open purchase orders, and flags parts at risk. A procurement analytics tool follows purchase requisitions through requests for quotation, purchase orders, receipts and invoices to measure lead times by vendor. OEM suppliers can also see which of their parts each fleet orders. An NS user signs in through Makini Link, embedded in the vendor's product or sent as a magic link, so credentials never pass through the vendor's application. Data then syncs on an interval set by the Makini plan, not in real time. NS enforces company-specific approval controls, so agree on the connecting user's access with the customer. NS apps on board can work offline and sync to the onboard server, so a requisition raised at sea may reach the connection only after ship-to-shore data exchange. If the shore database runs on the owner's servers, IT can allow Makini's fixed IPs or set up a VPN.
