NDT ERP integration planning: connect the records your team needs
Atlantis NDT ERP has an open REST API. Connections to external business systems are scoped per implementation, using the interfaces and permissions available in your environment. Agree the supported records, API permissions and acceptance tests before committing to a connection.

Define the handover before choosing a connector
Start with a business event: a customer accepts a quotation, a work order is released, a report is approved, or an invoice is ready. Decide which system owns each record and what the receiving team needs to do next. This avoids maintaining conflicting copies of the same job.
SAP, IBM Maximo, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics, QuickBooks and other systems may be part of your current environment. We assess their available APIs and your access during scoping. Availability, licensing, authentication and supported operations must be checked for your specific version.
An integration requirements matrix
| Record or event | Decide before implementation | Acceptance check |
|---|---|---|
| Customers and projects | Which system creates the customer and stable project ID? | A changed customer maps to the correct project without duplication. |
| Work orders and assignments | Which statuses and equipment identifiers need to move? | A repeated request does not create a duplicate assignment. |
| Approved inspection reports | Which approved revision and attachments can leave the ERP? | Drafts stay internal and the destination receives the intended approved revision. |
| Invoices and commercial records | Which system owns tax, invoice numbers and payment status? | Totals and references reconcile with the approved source record. |
| Equipment and certificates | Which register owns the serial number, certificate and due date? | Updated evidence remains linked to the right equipment or technician. |
What to bring to the scoping call
- The system name, version, hosting arrangement and API documentation, if available.
- A sample of the records to exchange with sensitive details removed.
- Required direction: import, export or a controlled two-way exchange.
- Expected volume, timing and who owns failures or duplicate records.
- Security, data-residency, retention and approval requirements.
- The people authorized to approve field mappings and acceptance tests.
Connected Atlantis products and third-party systems
Practical NDT, the Atlantis LMS and Digital Twin Reporting are part of the Atlantis product ecosystem. Their availability depends on your plan and agreed configuration. The published North American plan table identifies which connected products and integration scope are included.
A third-party connection is a separate technical assessment. We do not promise an unverified native connector, a fixed setup time, or automatic compliance with a customer system. The proposal sets out the supported records, direction, access, responsibilities and acceptance checks.

Test a narrow workflow, then expand
Begin with one agreed record flow in a suitable test environment. Check authentication, field mapping, errors, retries and duplicate handling before connecting live operational records. The acceptance record should show who tested the flow and which system versions were used.
After acceptance, document support ownership and how changes to either system will be reviewed. Integration work and delivery dates are agreed after the technical scope is understood.
Frequently asked questions
Does Atlantis NDT ERP have an API?
Yes, an open REST API. The available records and permitted operations for your connection are confirmed during implementation scoping.
Are SAP, Maximo or accounting connectors included out of the box?
Do not assume a native connector is included. Share your system version and required data flow so Atlantis can assess the interface and quote the work.
Can data flow in both directions?
The direction is a design decision for each record. Agree a system of record, conflict handling and acceptance tests before implementing two-way synchronization.
How long will an integration take?
Timing depends on the source interfaces, permissions, field mappings and test access. The proposal confirms scope and dates after those requirements are reviewed.
