## Who each product is for

Floodlight Software describes itself as a complete NDT software platform for inspection service companies, from request to cash: quoting, certification-aware dispatch and scheduling, a drag-and-drop task and form designer, a mobile app with offline sync, a customer portal, analytics and API integrations. It targets oil and gas, water, heavy construction and engineering, with API 510, 570 and 653 workflows.

AMPS targets NDT and inspection companies, asset owners and job-driven businesses in Australia and New Zealand, and keeps your existing tools: Word for reports, Xero for accounting, OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive for documents, Power BI for analytics.

## Where they overlap

Both handle the job lifecycle from creation to invoicing, track technician certifications, keep asset history and produce method reports on mobile devices. Both cover UT, RT, MT, PT and VT work.

## Where they differ

- Reports: Floodlight uses its own form designer; AMPS uses your Word documents as templates and adds an AI writing assistant and e-signature.

- Field app: Floodlight publishes a native app with offline sync; AMPS is a responsive web app with no offline mode.

- Dispatch: Floodlight advertises certification-aware scheduling; in AMPS the supervisor assigns jobs and checks certificates on the personnel page with expiry flags.

- Client access: Floodlight has a customer portal; AMPS emails reports from the job and shares files through your own cloud storage, with temporary roles for third parties.

- Market: Floodlight is US-based; AMPS is built in Auckland for Australia and New Zealand with Xero integration.

- Pricing: AMPS is published; Floodlight is not.

## Integrations and accounting

AMPS: Xero, OneDrive and SharePoint, Google Drive, Word, Power BI, Mailgun, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace SSO; MYOB on request for Enterprise. Floodlight: API integrations are advertised; the accounting packages supported are not listed on its public site.

## Pricing and trials

AMPS: Starter NZ$60 per user per month (up to 50 users), Business NZ$50 (51 to 100 users), Enterprise on quote, all features included, free trial on request. All AMPS prices are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST. Floodlight: prices on request, 14-day free trial.

## 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 Floodlight Software

- You need a native mobile app with offline sync for sites without coverage.

- You want certification-aware automated dispatch and a customer portal out of the box.

- Your business is in North America or your clients require API 510/570/653-specific workflows built into the tool.

- You prefer designing report forms inside the platform over Word templates.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which is better for an NDT company in Australia or New Zealand?

AMPS is built in Auckland for the Australian and New Zealand market, integrates with Xero and works in local business hours. Floodlight is a US platform with a strong request-to-cash workflow and mobile offline app; check its support hours, data hosting location and accounting integration for your region before choosing it.

### Do I have to rebuild my report templates in either system?

In Floodlight, reports are built in its drag-and-drop form designer. In AMPS, any existing Word document becomes a template, fields such as client, PO number, equipment serial numbers and dates are filled automatically, and the output is the same Word document your QA system already uses.

### Does AMPS work offline like the Floodlight mobile app?

Floodlight publishes an iOS and Android app with offline sync. AMPS is a web app that runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers and needs an internet connection; there is no offline mode at present.

### How does pricing compare?

AMPS publishes its prices: Starter NZ$60 and Business NZ$50 per user per month, Enterprise on quote, all features on every plan, with a free trial on request. All AMPS prices are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST. Floodlight advertises a 14-day free trial but does not publish prices as of September 2026.
