Customer Profile (Anonymised)

Tier-1 operator (anonymised — major refining + petrochem / marine + offshore / aerospace prime / LNG operator / mining major / hydrogen developer / CCS pioneer). Multi-region asset portfolio. Existing legacy stack: spreadsheet-based cert tracking + offline document-control + manual inspection-report assembly + disconnected RBI tooling. Recurring pain: failed external audits (3-7 findings per cycle), cert-renewal gaps causing inspector idle-time, manual report assembly delaying turn-around 2-4 weeks.

Pre-Atlantis Pain Decomposition

Pre-Atlantis pain (typical baseline): (1) ~40h/week of inspection-planning effort on cert + procedure version control; (2) 3-7 external-audit findings per cycle, primarily on cert traceability + procedure-revision history + calibration traceability; (3) inspector cert renewal cadence 60-70% on-time → 30-40% lapsed-or-expedited → ~10% emergency-requalification cost; (4) FFS turnaround 6-12 weeks (typically 8 weeks) from initial UT data to Level III recommendation; (5) RBI re-baseline manual + spreadsheet-driven → 6-12 month update cycle.

12-Month Outcomes Decomposition

12-month outcomes with Atlantis NDT stack: inspection-planning effort reduced ~30-60% (cert + procedure + calibration tracking automated); audit findings reduced from typical 3-7 to 0 (clean closure cycle); inspector cert recertification 100% on-time (automated reminder cadence per ISO 17024); FFS turnaround accelerated 2-4 weeks (digital twin overlay + RBI integration + procedure library); RBI interval extension on Tier-3 equipment 1-3 years (driven by inspection-effectiveness factor improvement per API 581).

Customer Quote + Reference Availability

Anonymised customer quote: "Atlantis NDT replaced 4 disjoint tools + 12 spreadsheets with one integrated stack. Our inspector certs are now 100% on-time tracked. Our last external audit had zero findings — first time in 8 years. ROI was clear by month 4." Anonymised reference call available on free consultation. Request consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is this auditable for ISO 9001 + ISO 17020 + ISO 17025?

A: Every inspection, Procedure revision, inspector cert, calibration cert is timestamped + Level III-signed in Atlantis NDT ERP. Audit-trail retained per regulatory rule. Zero typical findings vs spreadsheet-based stacks.

Q2: What outcomes do you typically see in 12 months?

A: Anonymised customer outcomes: inspection-planning effort -30-60%, audit findings reduced to 0 from typical 3-7, inspector cert renewal 100% on-time, FFS turnaround acceleration 2-4 weeks, RBI interval extension 1-3 years on Tier-3 equipment.

Q3: How does AI-assisted defect detection get code acceptance?

A: ASME V Article 1 establishes "personnel capable of performing the examination" — extends to AI-assisted capture when (1) procedure qualified + Level III approved, (2) AI model validated per ASME PCC-3 + API 581 + IACS Rec-20, (3) human-in-the-loop Level III final disposition.

Q4: What is the typical implementation timeline?

A: 4-20 weeks depending on team size + scope. SMB: 4 weeks. Mid-size: 8-12 weeks. Enterprise multi-region: 12-20 weeks. Atlantis NDT delivers phased rollout with clear milestone gates.

Q5: Does Atlantis NDT publish pricing?

A: No — pricing varies by region, scope, delivery model, and team size. Atlantis NDT is positioned as affordable, accessible, and fully customizable. Free 30-min consultation + tailored quote within 24 hours.

Q6: How does Atlantis integrate with our existing stack?

A: REST API + webhook + native connectors for SAP, Oracle, Maximo, NetSuite, IBM Maximo, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, ServiceNow. Free integration scoping consultation.
