HR Payroll for Pipeline Integrity Services — Atlantis NDT ERP

Technician records, availability, timesheets, leave and expenses for NDT crews

Overview

People management in the Atlantis NDT ERP starts with the Employees app, where each technician has an NDT profile: technician flag, highest level, methods certified, radiation safety training, radiation badge number and medical fitness expiry, alongside their certificates, vision tests and exams. Team Assignments shows each technician's status, current assignment, utilisation percentage and next available date, and the availability calendar records assigned, leave, training, sick and unavailable periods with overlaps blocked. Time Off feeds that availability, so approved leave is reflected in planning. Timesheets record work type (inspection, travel, standby, setup), method, billable flag, rate multiplier, site, client and equipment serial, go through approval, and warn if a certificate is not valid. Expenses handle field costs and per diems, which can be re-billed to jobs. Payroll processing depends heavily on country rules, so it is scoped for your jurisdiction during implementation, with approved timesheets and expenses as the inputs.

Why inspection and testing businesses run it differently

An NDT company's people are its product. Knowing who is certified for what, who is available next week and who is on leave, all in the same place, is what makes crew planning work. Timesheets that separate inspection, travel, standby and setup give both payroll and billing the detail they need.

How the workflow runs

A new technician is added with their NDT profile and certificates. Leave requests go through Time Off, and approved leave appears on the availability calendar. The coordinator assigns crews in Team Assignments, which blocks overlaps. On the job, technicians log time by work type and submit field expenses. Supervisors approve timesheets and expenses, which then feed invoicing and whatever payroll process was configured for your country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ERP run payroll?

Payroll depends on country rules, so it is scoped for your jurisdiction during implementation. Approved timesheets and expenses are the inputs either way.

Is approved leave reflected in crew planning?

Yes. Time Off feeds the technician availability calendar used by Team Assignments.

Can we record a technician's radiation badge number?

Yes. The employee NDT profile includes radiation safety training, radiation badge number and medical fitness expiry.

Compare the platform before you shortlist

Most companies arrive at a city page and actually want one of three things. If you are evaluating systems, start with NDT inspection software — what inspection companies actually need. If report turnaround is the pain, go to NDT reporting software compared. If the question is whether a generic system could work, read why generic ERP breaks on inspection work and the NetSuite comparison.
