What is AMPS?

AMPS is cloud-based job and asset management software for NDT and inspection companies, asset owners and job-driven trades in Australia and New Zealand. It runs quotes, jobs, timesheets, reports and invoices next to asset, equipment and personnel-certificate tracking, and it is built by Skinny Robot LTD in Auckland, New Zealand.

The short answer

AMPS is cloud-based job and asset management software. It is used by NDT and inspection companies, by asset owners in heavy industry and energy, by shutdown and maintenance teams, and by job-driven trades, mainly in Australia and New Zealand. It is built and run by Skinny Robot LTD in Auckland, New Zealand, and lives at amps.global.

The problem it exists to solve is the one every field business recognises: the work pack is in an inbox, last year’s report is on somebody’s laptop, the timesheet arrives two weeks late, the invoice goes out when someone remembers, and a certificate expires quietly until a client audit finds it.

What it actually contains

Jobs. A job is created with the client, PO number and scope, assigned to a technician with its documentation attached, executed, reported, costed and closed. Marking it ready for invoicing puts it in front of administrative staff in real time, and the invoice is created in Xero.

Assets and equipment. Every asset has a page, a QR code and a complete history of the jobs performed on it, with their reports, photos, timesheets and costs. Assets nest, so a tank farm holds tanks, a wind farm holds turbines and a plant holds vessels and circuits. Google Maps positioning locates them in the field.

Certificates and calibration. Personnel certifications and equipment calibration documents sit on dedicated pages, and a flag system warns one month before any of them, or a scheduled asset inspection, falls due.

Reports. Any Microsoft Word document becomes a template that AMPS fills with job data. An AI writing assistant improves the wording, documents can be queried with AI question-answering, and reports are signed in AMPS and emailed from AMPS.

Timesheets and costs. Time is logged against jobs, exported in batches for whole teams and pushed to payroll, with reimbursable costs recorded on the same timesheet.

Analytics. Every piece of AMPS data is available to Power BI, with per-user access on multi-page reports.

Where the data lives

This is the part that tends to decide the evaluation. Documents, reports and photos saved through AMPS are written to your own Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint, or your own Google Drive, not to AMPS servers. AMPS creates and maintains a folder structure there, including a report folder for every job, so an existing QA folder structure keeps working unchanged and nothing has to be requested back if you ever stop using AMPS.

Access runs through your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace single sign-on, SAML included. If your IT administrator revokes it, AMPS loses access immediately, which is a materially different security position from a vendor holding your files and your credentials.

Signing in

There is no sign-in button on this site, and that is deliberate rather than an oversight. Every AMPS customer runs their own separate instance at its own address, so there is no single door to send people through. Your organisation’s address comes from whoever administers AMPS there.

Once you have it, there is no separate AMPS password. Users sign in with the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account they already use, and that administrator issues and revokes access. If you have arrived here looking for a different system that happens to be called AMPS, see the note below.

Other things called AMPS

The acronym is heavily reused. AMP Technologies is a commercial real estate asset management platform and is unrelated to this product. AMP is a large Australian financial services company. Several government, postal and defence systems use AMPS as an internal name, as do companies trading as AMPS Pty Ltd. None of them are connected to the software described here, which is the job and asset management platform at amps.global built by Skinny Robot LTD.

Deciding whether it fits

AMPS suits an organisation whose work is organised as jobs against assets, where technicians hold certifications that expire, where instruments need calibration records, and where reports have to look the way clients already expect. It suits it less well if you need to work offline, if you need a public API or a client portal today, or if you are looking for a full EH&S suite with incident reporting and permit to work.

Frequently asked questions

What does AMPS do?
AMPS runs the whole job workflow for field-based businesses: quotes, jobs, timesheets, reports and invoices in one place. Alongside that it tracks assets and equipment, each with a QR code and a full job history, and holds personnel certifications and equipment calibration documents with a flag that warns one month before anything expires. Reports are generated from your own Microsoft Word templates and filled with job data automatically, invoicing hands off to Xero, and every piece of data is available to Power BI.
Who makes AMPS?
AMPS is developed and operated by Skinny Robot LTD, based in Mount Eden, Auckland, New Zealand. The core team is Ricardo Carvalho (Chief Executive Officer), Cyril Boyer (Chief Technology Officer) and Thiago Souto (Product Director). AMPS began as an MVP in 2021 and reached its stable 1.0 release at the end of 2022.
How do I log in to AMPS?
There is no shared sign-in page on this website, because every AMPS customer runs their own separate instance with its own address. Your organisation's AMPS address comes from your own IT administrator or the colleague who set AMPS up. Sign-in itself runs through the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account you already use, with SAML available, so there is no separate AMPS password, and your administrator issues and revokes access. If you are trying to reach a different system called AMPS, such as one run by an employer, a postal service or a defence agency, it will have its own sign-in page unrelated to amps.global.
Is AMPS the same as AMP Technologies, AMPS Pty Ltd or AMP?
No. The name is used by several unrelated organisations and systems. AMP Technologies is a commercial real estate asset management platform. AMP is a large Australian financial services company. Various government and defence systems, and companies trading as AMPS Pty Ltd, also share the acronym. The AMPS described here is the job and asset management software at amps.global, built by Skinny Robot LTD in New Zealand for NDT, inspection and field-service work.
What does AMPS cost?
AMPS is priced per user per month in New Zealand dollars, excluding GST, with every feature included on every plan: Starter NZ$60 for up to 50 users, Business NZ$50 for 51 to 100 users, and Enterprise on quote with unlimited users, direct line support and custom integrations at no extra charge. There are no add-ons or hidden fees, and a free trial with access to all features is available on request.
What does AMPS not do?
There is no offline mode: AMPS is a web application that needs an internet connection. There is no public API and no client portal yet. It is not accounting software, handing invoicing to Xero instead, and it is not an EH&S suite, so it has no incident reporting, permit to work or emissions reporting.
