## What is crew appraisal software?

Crew appraisal software helps ship managers evaluate seafarer performance in a
consistent, documented way — scoring competencies against rank-relevant
questions, recording comments, and capturing recommendations for rehire or
promotion. NOZZLE handles this through its Performance Evaluation capability,
part of [NOZZLE Crew Management](/solutions/crew-management-software/).

In NOZZLE, each evaluation is scored question by question on a 1-5 scale with
optional explanatory comments, alongside overall rehire, promotion and remarks
fields. Evaluations are browsed by office, ship group, ship and crew member, and
archived so you can track an individual's development over time and compare
seafarers in similar ranks. Completed or blank evaluations can be printed as
reports, and evaluation works together with the training records held on each
crew profile.

Appraisals sit alongside the other NOZZLE crew capabilities:
[crew planning and assignments](/solutions/crew-planning-software/),
[work and rest hours](/solutions/crew-work-and-rest-hours-software/),
[payroll](/solutions/crew-payroll-software/) and the
[crew matrix](/solutions/crew-matrix-software/), [contract management](/solutions/crew-contract-management-software/) and [medical records](/solutions/crew-medical-records-software/). Book a [demo](/request-demo/) to

## Capabilities

### Score performance consistently, decide with confidence
_Performance Evaluation_

When rehire and promotion decisions rest on memory or scattered forms, good seafarers get overlooked and weak performers slip through. NOZZLE evaluates and scores each crew member's performance on a consistent scale, so you can track individual development and compare seafarers in similar ranks. Evaluations are browsed by office, ship group, ship and crew member, and each is scored question by question with explanatory comments.

* Online performance evaluation and scoring * 1-5 scoring per question with optional comments * Overall rehire, promotion and remarks fields * Comparative analysis with personnel in similar ranks * Archived evaluation forms for easy reference * Insights into crew development and training needs

### Close the loop from appraisal to training
_Training & Development_

Performance evaluation works together with training records, so the development needs you identify in an appraisal can be tracked through to the training a seafarer completes.

* Training records held on the crew profile * Development needs linked to appraisal outcomes * A performance history that follows the seafarer across assignments
