Managing NDT Jobs on AMPS

The Core NDT Workflow: From Creation to Closure

In traditional NDT job management, a host of emails, spreadsheets, and disparate systems can lead to confusion. AMPS solves these challenges by reflecting the natural progression of an NDT job within a single platform:

1. Job Creation
   A supervisor, administrative employee, or inspector initiates a new job in the system, providing key details such as client information and task scope.

2. Job Assignment
   The supervisor assigns the job to an inspector, attaching any necessary documentation or instructions for clarity.

3. Job Execution
   The designated inspector completes the assigned work in the field or on-site.

4. Reporting
   After finishing the job, the inspector uses AMPS to generate and send the final report directly to the client.

5. Time Tracking
   The inspector logs time spent on each task, creating a verifiable record for both performance reviews and billing.

6. Job Closure
   The inspector marks the job as completed, signaling that invoicing can proceed.

This straightforward, step-by-step pipeline saves time by bringing transparency and accountability to each phase of the job.

A Unified Platform for Teams

AMPS integrates crucial job activities under one digital umbrella. Instead of juggling multiple tools, team members can see the latest updates and collaborate in real time.

Creating and Assigning Jobs

Upon creation, the job automatically includes all relevant data, from client references to safety protocols. Supervisors can instantly assign the job to an inspector, ensuring role clarity from the outset.

Inspector-Focused Jobs Page

Each inspector has a dedicated jobs page showing all active tasks, along with key details and deadlines. This reduces back-and-forth emails and helps inspectors stay organized.

Centralized Documentation

AMPS consolidates every job’s file, report, photo, and notes in one place:

• Reports: Inspectors can quickly upload and share final outputs with clients.
• Photos and Documents: Any supporting media is saved directly to the job’s docs tab.
• Timesheets and Costs: Logged hours, material costs, and other expenses can be viewed and approved in the same place.

Importantly, all documents are stored on your own server rather than in the AMPS cloud, offering total control over sensitive files.

Streamlined Reporting and Invoicing

Once inspectors finalize their reports, they can send them directly to clients through AMPS. This creates a clear record of when and what was shared. Next, marking the job as “ready for invoicing” gives administrative staff real-time visibility to generate invoices swiftly. Eliminating the gap between job completion and billing accelerates revenue cycles and ensures that no detail slips through the cracks.

The Value Proposition: Efficiency, Transparency, Accountability

Organizations that adopt AMPS often report improvements in:

• Centralized Information
  Job details—reports, photos, documents, costs, and communications—are accessible in one place, reducing confusion.

• Real-Time Updates
  Team members can track status changes immediately, eliminating outdated information and email clutter.

• Improved Accountability
  Actions like report submissions, timesheet entries, and invoicing are tied to specific individuals, fostering ownership. Also every action taken on AMPS is tracked with our history feature.

• Streamlined Processes
  From job creation through invoicing, each step is seamlessly linked, cutting down on errors and repetitive tasks.

Beyond Simple Jobs

While AMPS excels at handling straightforward NDT tasks, it’s also built to manage more complex scenarios. During high-intensity projects like shutdowns or on assets that require annual inspections, AMPS provides robust scheduling, tracking, and historical data. Having operated for two years, the platform has been optimized to handle a wide range of operational requirements.

Conclusion

Organizations seeking to enhance their NDT workflows often struggle to maintain clarity, accountability, and efficiency using traditional methods. AMPS addresses these pain points by bringing every phase of the job—creation, assignment, execution, reporting, and billing—into one well-organized system. The result? Time savings, fewer errors, and stronger communication. For teams that want to ensure asset integrity while staying agile and profitable, AMPS may well be the solution.
