Affordable NDT ERP in Montreal — Fully Customizable, Every Business App You Need Included

NDT software in Montreal: aerospace, industrial and bilingual

An NDT company in Montreal needs software that supports aerospace-grade traceability, heavy industrial work and French-language documentation, all in the same system. The Atlantis ERP solution is a fully customized ERP for NDT and inspection companies. It covers reports, technician certificates, equipment calibration, crew dispatch, quoting and invoicing, and it is set up and supported by Atlantis NDT, whose founder is an ASNT NDT Level III.

Greater Montreal is one of the world's main aerospace centres. Bombardier, Pratt and Whitney Canada in Longueuil, CAE, Airbus's A220 line in Mirabel, Bell Textron Canada in Mirabel, Heroux-Devtek and a long list of machining, surface treatment and MRO suppliers generate steady ET, PT, MT, UT and RT work. Much of it is done in-house or by approved subcontractors held to NAS 410 or EN 4179 personnel qualification and to prime-contractor or Nadcap-style audits. Alongside that are the Suncor refinery and petrochemical plants in Montreal East, the Port of Montreal, Hydro-Quebec's generating and transmission assets, bridges and infrastructure on the island, and metal fabrication across Laval, the South Shore and the Laurentides.

Quebec adds its own layer. Pressure equipment falls under the Regie du batiment du Quebec (RBQ), radiography sources under the CNSC, and the Charter of the French Language means reports, procedures and client documents are generally expected in French. The sections below apply each Atlantis ERP app to that Montreal context.

ERP for NDT companies in Montreal: the apps that fit

An ERP for NDT companies in Montreal has to provide document control and personnel records strong enough for aerospace audits, plus the dispatch and billing flexibility needed for industrial field work. The Atlantis ERP brings both together in one system.

• Certificates: technician certificates by scheme, level and method, vision tests, exam sheets, OJT and training hours, and company certifications with alerts.
• Procedures: controlled procedure register with review, approval, locked revisions and revision snapshots.
• NDT Reports: 17 report types including ECT, PT, MT, UT, PAUT, RT and computed radiography, each numbered separately.
• Asset Management: instruments, probes and UV lamps by serial number, calibration register, issue/return approval.
• Team Assignments: dispatch workflow with double-booking blocked for technicians and equipment serials.
• Quotations and Invoicing: NDT-aware commercial documents with custom, bilingual-ready layouts.

Project, Timesheets, CRM, Fleet, Purchase, Inventory, Expenses and Dashboards fill in the rest. See /erp/apps.

French-language NDT software for Quebec

If your clients, technicians or regulators work in French, the software has to produce French documents without anyone translating by hand. In the Atlantis ERP, your report, quotation and invoice layouts are company templates you control. They are built in French, or bilingual French/English, during implementation, so what the client receives matches Quebec expectations.

In practice that means:

• Report templates in French. Versioned company templates in Excel, Word, PDF or HTML carry French headings, your logo, and header and footer. Excel templates filled by mapping fields to cells work equally well with a French client's own form.
• Procedures in French. The procedure register stores body text or an uploaded file, so French procedures, or paired French and English versions, go through the same review, approval and revision control.
• Quotes and invoices. Custom branded quotation PDFs and custom invoice layouts are prepared in French for Quebec clients, while English versions stay available for clients in Ontario or the US.
• Everyday use. Office staff and technicians can use the system in the language they prefer, and field labels are reviewed during setup so the offline app reads naturally to francophone crews.

Exactly which documents need French, and to what level, depends on your clients and your company's size. We work through it with you at discovery rather than guessing.

Technician certification tracking for aerospace and industrial crews

Technician certification tracking software in Montreal must hold several qualification schemes side by side, because a single technician may be approved under one scheme for aerospace work and another for industrial jobs. The Atlantis Certificates app records scheme, level (trainee, I, II, III), method, certifying body, issue, expiry and renewal dates, industry sector, OJT and training hours, exam passed and attachments. It computes active, expiring soon, expired or revoked automatically.

• Industrial work. CAN/CGSB-48.9712 (ISO 9712) certification from NRCan's NDT Certification Body or CWB Group is common among Quebec industrial technicians and is recorded as a built-in scheme.
• Aerospace work. Employer certification to NAS 410 or EN 4179 can be recorded under the "other" scheme, with the industry sector set to aerospace. Exam sheets record general, specific and practical scores against the passing score, with files attached, and OJT and training hours sit on the same record. That is what an aerospace auditor asks to see.
• US clients. SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 are built in for work tied to US primes.

Vision tests record near vision (Jaeger J1/J2), far vision, colour perception and contrast, with examiner, clinic and expiry. Certificate templates per scheme set validity in months, whether a vision test or exam is required, and minimum OJT and training hours. Daily checks raise warning tasks 90 days before expiry, email alerts go to the people you choose, and Timesheets warn if someone books time on an invalid cert.

Atlantis delivers NDT training based on ASNT SNT-TC-1A only. The ERP records ISO 9712, PCN, CSWIP and aerospace-scheme certificates, but Atlantis does not deliver training for them.

NDT reporting software for Montreal aerospace and plant work

NDT reporting software in Montreal must give aerospace reviewers full traceability and give industrial clients fast, clean field reports. The Atlantis NDT Reports app records method-specific data and moves each report through draft, in progress, review, approved and sent, with inspector, reviewer and approver signatures.

• Aerospace parts and assemblies. ECT reports for surface and near-surface inspection, PT with method and developer, and MT with technique and particle type. Procedure and standard references are recorded on every report, so each result is tied to the approved technique.
• Castings, forgings and welds. RT with source, technique, IQI type and placement; computed radiography as its own report type; UT with the probe calibration table; and PAUT with focal laws.
• Refinery and petrochemical in Montreal East. UT thickness readings by direction, TOFD, PMI, hardness, PWHT and IRIS for exchanger bundles.
• Port and marine. Marine mode adds a vessel cover page and photo and merges the classification-society certificate, the inspector's Level II cert and the calibration certificate into the PDF.

Work order, request, WPS, contract, drawing, procedure and standard references are captured on each report. Where an authorized or third-party inspector is involved, their name and signature are recorded. The offline field app works inside hangars and plants with poor signal and syncs later.

Procedures and document control for Montreal audits

Montreal NDT companies that serve aerospace are audited on document control more heavily than on almost anything else. The Procedures app keeps a register with document number, revision, method (UT, RT, MT, PT, VT, ET, TOFD, PAUT, CR, DR, hardness, PMI and more), scope, material, applicable standard, acceptance criteria, and body text or uploaded file.

Procedures go through draft, submitted, reviewed, approved and published, and can be rejected with a reason or archived. Prepared, reviewed and approved by are recorded with dates, approved revisions are locked, and a snapshot is kept for each revision. When an auditor picks a completed ET report from last year and asks for the exact technique sheet in force that day, you can produce it. Approvers get email notifications and reminders. The AI-assisted first draft, which falls back to a built-in template, gives your Level III a starting point for new procedures and techniques in French or English. The Level III then reviews and approves.

NCR and CAPA workflows can be configured during implementation, so audit findings and nonconforming reports become tracked actions. Company certifications and approvals, such as ISO 9001 and customer or special-process approvals, are stored with their own alert days. For context, the RBQ oversees pressure equipment in Quebec and the CNSC licenses radiography. The ERP organises your evidence but does not replace any regulator's or customer's requirements.

Calibration management software for Montreal labs and field kits

Calibration management software for a Montreal NDT company has to cover both the lab bench and the field kit. In Asset Management, every eddy current instrument, probe, reference standard, UV-A lamp, light meter, yoke, flaw detector and densitometer is tracked by serial number, with assigned person, condition, asset tag, firmware, accessories and lifecycle status.

Calibration records hold provider, certificate number, standard, range, uncertainty, accredited-lab flag, result (pass, fail or conditional) and next due date. The certificate register stores the lab's accreditation number and PDF, with valid, expiring or expired status and email alerts. Aerospace auditors routinely trace a report back to the instrument and its calibration, and this makes that trace quick.

Issue and return require supervisor and manager approval, with condition recorded at both ends. Reservations prevent clashes, and every movement is logged. The maintenance log covers preventive and corrective work, cleaning, firmware updates and probe replacement, with condition before and after. When Team Assignments sends a crew out, the planner is warned if any assigned equipment is out of calibration, and the same serial cannot be double-booked. Consumables such as penetrant, developer, remover, MT particles and couplant carry reorder levels and low-stock flags. The Purchase app records calibration labs and OEMs as vendor types with accreditation number and expiry, and links purchases to specific serials.

Crew dispatch software for Montreal and the regions

Crew dispatch software for a Montreal NDT company often has to cover more than the island: jobs at Mirabel, on the South Shore, at plants along the St. Lawrence, and at hydro sites far up north. Team Assignments moves each job through planned, dispatched, in field, submitted and closed, with calendar, kanban and list views.

Every assignment records the site's GPS coordinates and the mobilisation and demobilisation dates. Remote hydro and mining jobs that need several days of travel are planned properly, and the technician shows as unavailable for the whole period. The availability calendar covers assigned, leave, training, sick and unavailable days, blocks overlaps, and pulls in approved Time Off. The planner sees each technician's status, current assignment, utilisation and next available date.

Because each technician's certification scheme and industry sector are on record, the planner can check that a technician going into an aerospace facility holds the right aerospace-scheme approval, and that one going to a refinery holds the right CGSB level. Project records carry safety induction and work permit fields. The Fleet app assigns vehicles to projects and drivers, logs dates and mileage, and records which vehicles can carry radioactive sources, with transport licence number and expiry.

NDT quoting and invoicing software for Quebec clients

NDT quoting and invoicing software in Montreal has to issue French-language documents with the right Quebec taxes and still match each client's PO structure. Quotations record job type, site, project dates and applicable codes, apply a global discount, and use NDT service products flagged by method and category. Clients receive a branded PDF, can accept and sign online, and the quote converts to a sales order.

Invoicing carries the NDT project, job or PO number, site, invoice type and industry sector, with labour, equipment and consumables subtotals. Lines can show cost centre, method, equipment serial, technician, rate type and days or hours. GST and QST are configured for Quebec during implementation, and invoice layouts are prepared in French or bilingually.

Timesheets separate inspection, travel, standby and setup, with a billable flag, rate multiplier, site, client and equipment serial, and supervisor approval. Travel days to northern sites are captured and billed. Expenses handles per diems and field costs and re-bills them to the job. The financial dashboard shows revenue, cost of sales, gross margin, operating expenses, EBITDA and outstanding invoices across twelve months, so you can see whether aerospace or industrial work carries the better margin.

Inspection management software in Montreal: CRM and dashboards

Inspection management software for a Montreal company should help you win work across the aerospace supply chain and the industrial base. The CRM records service line, lead source, NDT service type, industry sector, site country, and estimated technicians and days, and scores leads from 0 to 100 as hot, warm, nurture or cold.

Leads can be imported from CSV, emails personalised with an AI preview, and contacts enrolled in drip sequences by service line. AI Marketing drafts newsletters and announcements, in French or English, using a model that can run on your own server. Business Cards reads a card photographed at an aerospace supplier day and creates the lead in one click. Website enquiry forms feed the CRM, and Surveys collect client feedback or run internal competency questionnaires.

Dashboards show calibration due and overdue, certs expiring and expired, and issued equipment overdue next to financial KPIs. The open REST API connects to SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Maximo or any system that accepts API connections, scoped per implementation. That matters when a larger aerospace customer wants data passed electronically.

Implementing the Atlantis ERP in Montreal

A Montreal rollout starts with language and document control, because those shape everything else.

1. Discovery. Your sectors, certification schemes (CGSB, aerospace employer schemes, SNT-TC-1A), report formats, French-language requirements and audit history.
2. Certificates and procedures. Technicians, certs, vision tests, exam sheets and your procedure library with current revisions are loaded first.
3. Assets and calibration. Every instrument and reference standard, with its calibration history and lab certificates.
4. Templates. French or bilingual report, quote and invoice templates are built and checked with you.
5. Dispatch, reports and billing. Crews move to the offline app, and planners and accounts go live with GST/QST configured.
6. Support. Atlantis NDT stays involved through your first audits on the new system.

For internal training, eLearning hosts Level I to III course sections, protected video lessons, quizzes and completion certificates, and the Practical NDT 3D simulator gives hands-on practice. Book a Montreal ERP demo, available in English, with French-language templates shown.
