Inspection and NDT ERP software in Qatar

Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in Qatar. It replaces the spreadsheet stack most inspection businesses run on — technician certification currency, equipment calibration control, inspection scheduling, multi-crew work orders, client asset registers, job costing and audit-ready document retention — on one Odoo-based platform.

Who operates in Qatar

QatarEnergy and QatarEnergy LNG across the Ras Laffan complex, Mesaieed Industrial City petrochemicals, Qatar Steel and Qatar Aluminium, plus the EPC and inspection contractor base in Doha supporting the North Field expansion.

What governs inspection work here

What actually decides the purchase in Qatar

North Field expansion work has concentrated a large volume of new-build fabrication inspection alongside an ageing in-service inspection load. Contractors running both simultaneously need welder qualification and NDT records on the new-build side and CML thickness trending on the in-service side, which are different data models in the same business.

Certification currency per method — SNT-TC-1A, ISO 9712, NAS 410 and client-specific approvals — with dispatch lockout the moment anything lapses.
Calibration control with ISO 17025 traceability across flaw detectors, thickness gauges, probes, wedges, reference blocks and step wedges.
Condition-driven inspection scheduling: next-inspection dates computed from measured corrosion rate under API 510/570/653 rather than a fixed calendar.
Offline mobile field capture for confined spaces, vessels, offshore platforms and remote sites with no connectivity.
Client-specific report templates rendered from one dataset, so the same survey issues three ways without re-keying.
Work-order-level job costing including mobilisation, standby and travel, so per-contract margin is visible while the contract is running.
Document control on procedures, written practices and technique sheets, with the revision in force on any historical inspection date recoverable.

Regional asset base in detail

Doha — Doha sits at the heart of Qatar's LNG export industry, which is the world's largest, with RasGas and Qatargas operating cryogenic storage spheres, regasification facilities, and loading arms at the Ras Laffan Industrial City complex. The North Field expansion represents the world's largest single LNG development, and QatarEnergy's engineering standards mandate digital twin data integration for all new pressure vessels and storage tanks.
Ras Laffan — Ras Laffan Industrial City is the world's largest LNG export hub, home to QatarEnergy LNG's (formerly Qatargas/RasGas) massive cryogenic LNG trains drawing on the North Field, the world's largest natural gas field, alongside the Shell Pearl GTL gas-to-liquids plant and the Laffan Refinery processing condensate. The North Field expansion project is adding new liquefaction trains and associated gas processing capacity, making Ras Laffan one of the most active LNG construction and integrity-management sites globally, with cryogenic storage tanks, liquefaction cold boxes, and high-pressure gas processing separators all requiring rigorous FFS and RBI programs under Qatar's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
Mesaieed — Mesaieed Industrial City is Qatar's primary petrochemical and heavy-industry hub south of Doha, home to QatarEnergy's Mesaieed Refinery, Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO), Qatar Fuel Additives Company (QAFAC), the ORYX GTL gas-to-liquids plant, and Qatar Steel's electric arc furnace operations, all clustered along a dense industrial coastline with dedicated port facilities. The mix of refining, olefins/polyethylene petrochemical production, methanol/MTBE synthesis, and gas-to-liquids conversion means Mesaieed's inspection landscape spans high-temperature cracking furnaces, cryogenic and pressurized storage, and reactive-service piping systems, all requiring coordinated API 510/570/653 and RBI programs under Qatar's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change industrial safety oversight.

Frequently asked questions

Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in Qatar?

The deciding capabilities in Qatar are certification currency with hard lockout on lapse, instrument and reference-block calibration traceability, condition-driven inspection scheduling under API 510/570/653, offline field capture, and job costing at work-order level. Generic ERP and generic CMMS both model the money and the maintenance well and the personnel-qualification and calibration evidence badly, which is exactly the evidence a client audit tests. North Field expansion work has concentrated a large volume of new-build fabrication inspection alongside an ageing in-service inspection load. Contractors running both simultaneously need welder qualification and NDT records on the new-build side and CML thickness trending on the in-service side, which are different data models in the same business.

Which regulations and client audit regimes does it need to support in Qatar?

QatarEnergy contractor and vendor approval requirements govern access to most major work, applied over ASME Section V, VIII and IX, API 510/570/653, API 580/581 and API 579. The Ministry of Public Health regulates radiation sources used for industrial radiography, and ISO 17020/17025 accreditation is commonly specified for third-party inspection. The platform holds the underlying evidence in structured, exportable form — qualification currency, calibration certificates and traceability, procedure revisions under document control, and inspection results with the provenance applicable at the time of test — so producing an audit pack is an export rather than a document hunt.

How long does implementation take?

Six to ten weeks for a typical 20–60 technician business: one to two weeks of discovery and migration mapping, three weeks configuring certification, calibration and work-order modules against your written practice, two weeks piloting on one client contract, then rollout. Historical certification records and calibration certificates are migrated as part of that, which is why the timeline is measured in weeks rather than days.

Can it run alongside the operator's own SAP or Maximo?

Yes, and that is the normal arrangement. The operator's system stays authoritative for their work management and cost; Atlantis runs your side of the relationship — crews, certifications, calibration, scheduling, reporting and job costing — and pushes findings across by REST API or supported connector so results land where the client expects them.

Built for any business that runs on operations

Most companies do not fail at their craft. They lose time, margin and goodwill in the gaps between the tools they use to run the place — a quoting spreadsheet that does not talk to the job sheet, a job sheet that does not reach accounts, and a compliance folder nobody can search when a client asks. Atlantis closes those gaps by putting the whole operation on one platform, so information is entered once and everything downstream stays in step.

What you can run on it

Sales and CRM — leads, quotes, follow-ups and the pipeline that tells you what next month looks like.
Projects and job costing — plan the work, track the hours and materials against it, and see the margin while the job is still live rather than at final account.
Field and service teams — dispatch, schedules, mobile capture that works with no signal, and sign-off from site.
Inventory and purchasing — stock, suppliers, reorder points and goods receipt, joined to the jobs that consume them.
People — records, qualifications and licences with renewal reminders, timesheets, leave and payroll.
Quality and documents — procedures and forms under revision control, with the audit trail an inspection or accreditation body actually asks for.
Accounts — invoicing, expenses, multi-currency and the reporting your accountant stops chasing you for.

Affordable, accessible, fully customizable — and we mean each word

Affordable because the whole suite is included rather than sold to you a module at a time, and because implementation is done by people who have run operations rather than by a chain of subcontractors. Accessible because it runs in a browser and on a phone, works for a small team on day one, and does not need a specialist on staff to keep it alive. Fully customizable because your process is the thing that makes you competitive — the software should bend to it, not the other way round.

Industries we configure for

Service businesses and contractors, manufacturing and fabrication, trading and distribution, laboratories and testing houses, engineering consultancies, construction and facilities, and asset owners across energy, marine, aerospace and infrastructure. Inspection and testing is where we started, and it remains the sector we go deepest in — but the platform underneath is general-purpose, and most of what it does has nothing to do with inspection at all.

What happens when you get in touch

A short conversation, not a sales sequence. We ask how the business runs today and where it hurts, show you the platform doing that work, and send a written quote shaped to your region, your team size and the scope you actually need. No obligation, nothing to install first, and no pressure to decide on the call. Reach out and tell us what you are trying to fix.

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.
