NDT Pilot

One connected workspace for your inspection operation

NDT Pilot is a workflow platform for non-destructive testing companies. It connects customer requests, job planning, field records, technical review, controlled report release, asset history, and billing, so information is entered once and reused at every stage.

What NDT Pilot is built to do

  • Capture trustworthy field information
  • Move reports through controlled technical review
  • Deliver approved documents faster
  • Give customers an organized inspection and asset history
  • Without forcing every inspection company into the same rigid process

NDT Pilot supports and documents the inspection workflow. Physical inspections and technical decisions remain the responsibility of appropriately qualified and authorized personnel.

The value NDT Pilot provides

Enter approved job information once and reuse it across scheduling, fieldwork, reports, delivery, and billing.

Give technicians a clear assigned job package with customer, site, asset, scope, and method details in one place.

Connect readings, evidence, findings, and reports so every conclusion traces back to its job. (Per-reading photo attachment is planned.)

Make review queues visible so required corrections and waiting approvals are obvious, not buried.

Preserve approval and revision history with recorded reviewer, dates, and signature on every report.

Give customers self-service access to their permitted released reports and asset history.

Connect completed work to quotations and invoices so billing follows the job instead of someone's memory.

Let administrators configure workflows without creating uncontrolled document versions.

Maintain a searchable audit history of who did what, to which record, and when.

What runs automatically in the background

These automations run on the platform today. Each one leaves a record your team can review, and none of them approves, releases, or issues anything without a person.

Calibration & certification alerts

Runs on a daily schedule

Checks equipment calibration due dates and technician certification expiry dates, then emails administrators and the company contact about anything due within 30 days or already overdue.

Items also appear in the dashboard's Needs attention strip until resolved.

Technician availability sync

Runs when a work request changes, plus a daily check

Marks technicians as on assignment when they have a scheduled or in-progress job, and returns them to available when the work is complete.

Off-duty technicians are left untouched, and each technician can hide their on-site status from the dashboard.

Draft invoice on approval

Runs when a report is approved

Creates one draft invoice per work request from the linked customer, PO number, and quotation amount.

Invoices are always drafts for finance review. It can be switched off in company settings, and duplicates are skipped.

Approval notification

Runs when a report is approved

Emails the customer's contact that their report is approved, with the report number and a plain-language result summary.

Skipped when no customer contact email is on file.

Review, approval, and document control

Review queues and corrections

Submitted reports wait in a visible queue. Rejection returns the report with a recorded reason, no silent rework.

Approval authorization

Approval records the signature entry, reviewer, review date, and approval date on the report. The typed-name signature is traceable but is not a certificate-based regulated e-signature, validate it against your QMS requirements.

Controlled release

Only approved reports are delivered. Drafts never reach customers.

Revision and withdrawal history

Superseded technique sheets and report statuses are preserved, not overwritten.

Audit events

Every submit, review, rejection, approval, and delivery is logged with user and timestamp.

Customer-visible vs internal

Customers see approved deliverables and permitted findings, never internal QA comments, staff-only evidence, or drafts.

What your customers see

Authorized customers can:

  • View their active inspection requests
  • Track understandable statuses
  • Access their approved reports and search report history
  • Review their associated assets and permitted findings
  • Retrieve their permitted invoices
  • Contact your inspection company
What customers never see

Drafts, internal QA comments, staff-only evidence, internal costs and margins, and other customers' information.

The field inspection experience

In the technician portal, crews can:

  • Review assigned work with the approved job information in context.
  • See customer, site, asset, scope, and inspection-method details on the job.
  • Enter readings and observations as structured findings.
  • Record the overall result, conclusion, and recommendations.
  • Save drafts and submit the completed report for review.
  • See returned reports and required corrections from the reviewer.
  • Keep working when the signal drops: changes are saved on the device and synced when a connection returns. The job must be opened once while online.
  • Downloadable job packs and photo annotation: Planned.
