## What is findings management software?

Findings management software records the observations, deficiencies and defects
raised during inspections, audits and self-reports and drives each one to a closed
corrective action — so nothing is lost and findings do not repeat. In NOZZLE this
is the ANTBI (Areas Need To Be Improved) capability within
[HSEQ](/solutions/ship-health-safety-environment-quality/).

NOZZLE tracks every finding in one centralized system, classified by origin,
equipment group, department or audit reference and linked to immediate and root
causes, with photos, measurements and documents attached for traceability. Each
finding becomes a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) with an owner and due
date, tracked through status updates to a confirmed closure and a clear audit
trail.

Findings management is kept separate from
[incident reporting](/solutions/marine-incident-reporting-software/) and works
alongside [inspection and audit management](/solutions/ship-inspection-audit-software/)
and the [SMS revision recommendation](/solutions/sms-revision-recommendation-software/)
workflow. Book a [demo](/request-demo/) to see findings and CAPA in action.

## Capabilities

### Every finding in one place, none forgotten
_ANTBI – Areas Need To Be Improved_

Findings scattered across emails, spreadsheets and paper get lost — and lost findings become repeat findings. With ANTBI, ship operators track observations, deficiencies and defects in one centralized system, classified and easy to follow up.

* Record observations and remarks during inspections or self-reports * Classify findings by origin, equipment group, department or audit reference * Link deficiencies to immediate and root causes for effective analysis * Attach photos, measurements and related documents for full traceability

### Turn findings into closed corrective actions
_CAPA & Closure_

NOZZLE drives each finding to a corrective and preventive action with an owner and a due date, and tracks it through status updates to a confirmed closure — so an operator can show findings were actually resolved.

* Create CAPA with due dates and responsible persons * Track progress with status updates and comments * Confirm and record closure * A clear audit trail from finding to closed action

## Frequently asked questions

### What is findings management software?
Findings management software records the observations, deficiencies and defects raised during inspections, audits and self-reports and drives each one to a closed corrective action. In NOZZLE this is the ANTBI (Areas Need To Be Improved) capability within [HSEQ](/solutions/ship-health-safety-environment-quality/).

### How is a finding different from an incident?
A finding is an observation, deficiency or defect identified during an inspection, audit or self-report; an incident is an unsafe act, near miss or event raised by the crew. NOZZLE keeps them separate — findings in ANTBI, incidents in [incident reporting](/solutions/marine-incident-reporting-software/).

### How are findings classified?
Findings can be classified by origin, equipment group, department or audit reference, and linked to immediate and root causes, with photos, measurements and documents attached for traceability.

### How does NOZZLE ensure findings are closed?
Each finding is linked to a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) with an owner and due date, tracked through status updates to a confirmed closure.
