Who each product is for
DRIVE NDT is an operations suite for NDT companies, from DUERR NDT, a German manufacturer of radiography equipment and software. It covers the order and job workflow, automated and manual test report generation, personnel management including certifications, radiation dose and medical checkups with automatic exclusion of non-certified staff, equipment and calibration, test objects and measuring points, inspection instructions and standards, a media manager, a notification centre for recertification and recalibration, revenue tracking, CRM and ERP interfaces, and tablet and smartphone access. It integrates tightly with DUERR’s D-Tect X radiography software.
AMPS is a job and asset management platform for NDT and inspection companies, asset owners and job-driven businesses in Australia and New Zealand, built around your Word templates, your cloud storage and Xero.
Where they overlap
Both run NDT jobs end to end, track personnel certificates and equipment calibration with due-date notifications, manage test objects (assets) with history, and produce method reports on mobile devices.
Where they differ
Radiography depth: DRIVE NDT adds dose and medical tracking and instrument integration; AMPS treats licences and dosimetry as tracked certificates and has no instrument integration.
Reports: DRIVE NDT generates them in the system; AMPS generates your Word documents with an AI assistant.
Certificates: DRIVE NDT auto-excludes non-certified staff; AMPS flags expiries a month ahead.
Integrations: DRIVE NDT offers CRM/ERP interfaces; AMPS integrates natively with Xero, OneDrive and SharePoint, Google Drive, Power BI and Mailgun.
Region and pricing: DRIVE NDT is German with unpublished pricing; AMPS is built in Auckland with published pricing.
Integrations and accounting
AMPS: Xero, Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint, Google Drive, Microsoft Word, Power BI, Mailgun, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace SSO; MYOB on request for Enterprise. DRIVE NDT: CRM and ERP interfaces, D-Tect X radiography integration.
Pricing and trials
AMPS: Starter NZ$60 and Business NZ$50 per user per month, Enterprise on quote, free trial on request. All AMPS prices are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST. DRIVE NDT: on request, demo-led.
When to choose AMPS
- You run an NDT, inspection or asset-heavy business in Australia or New Zealand and want your accounting to stay in Xero.
- Your reports are Word documents your QA system already controls and you want them generated, not redesigned.
- You want documents to live in your own OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive, so leaving AMPS leaves every report and file in place, and revoking single sign-on in your own IT cuts AMPS off instantly.
- You want published per-user pricing with every feature included and no add-ons.
- You want asset history with QR codes and a flag system for certificates, calibrations and due inspections.
When to choose DRIVE NDT
Radiography is the core of your business and you use DUERR D-Tect X.
You need radiation dose and medical checkup management with automatic exclusion of non-certified staff.
You want reports generated inside the system rather than from Word templates.
You operate in Europe and want an ERP interface rather than a Xero integration.
