ERP software for inspection and oil & gas companies in Saudi Arabia
Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in Saudi Arabia. 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 Saudi Arabia
Saudi Aramco across Abqaiq, Ras Tanura, Shaybah, Khurais, Jazan and Yanbu; SABIC and its Jubail affiliates; Petro Rabigh; Ma'aden minerals and aluminium; SATORP and YASREF joint-venture refineries; and the contractor base serving them out of Dammam and Al Khobar.
What governs inspection work here
Inspection work is shaped less by a single national code than by Aramco's own engineering standards — SAES engineering standards, SAEP procedures, SAIC inspection checklists and the Aramco approved-vendor regime — layered on top of ASME Section V, VIII and IX, API 510, API 570, API 653 and API 580/581. Personnel are certified to ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712, with Aramco-specific approvals and CBT screening often required before mobilisation. The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and High Commission for Industrial Security requirements apply alongside.
What actually decides the purchase in Saudi Arabia
The binding constraint for contractors here is not winning work, it is holding vendor approval. A single expired certification or an out-of-calibration instrument found at a pre-mobilisation check costs the mobilisation and damages the approval record. That is an operational systems problem before it is a technical one.
- 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
- Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia operates the world's largest integrated oil and gas network, spanning the Ghawar field, the Abqaiq processing facility, and refining complexes at Yanbu, Jubail, and Ras Tanura that together process millions of barrels per day. Saudi Aramco's digital transformation programme has established 3D asset visualisation and real-time inspection data integration as standard requirements for new major projects.
- Jubail — Jubail is a Middle East operator centre where digital twin overlay of inspection + RBI + FFS data integrates with Aramco, ADNOC, KOC, KNPC, Bapco, NIOC, QatarEnergy operator stacks. Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform — affordable, accessible, fully customizable — delivers operator-format dashboards, multi-language inspection workflow visualisation, and audit-ready RBI cycle automation..
- Yanbu — Yanbu is a Middle East operator centre where digital twin overlay of inspection + RBI + FFS data integrates with Aramco, ADNOC, KOC, KNPC, Bapco, NIOC, QatarEnergy operator stacks. Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform — affordable, accessible, fully customizable — delivers operator-format dashboards, multi-language inspection workflow visualisation, and audit-ready RBI cycle automation..
- Dammam — Dammam is the operational headquarters of Saudi Aramco, the world's largest integrated oil company, with the East-West Pipeline, Khurais central processing facility, and the Eastern Province refinery and petrochemical hubs all coordinated from here. Aramco's Dhahran corporate campus drives the SAEP-1112 and SAEP-1119 inspection-engineering standards that govern every NDT contractor working in the Kingdom, and SABIC's regional offices in Al Khobar/Dammam push the Asset Integrity Standards across its Jubail and Yanbu petrochemical estates.
- Khobar — Khobar is a Middle East operator centre where digital twin overlay of inspection + RBI + FFS data integrates with Aramco, ADNOC, KOC, KNPC, Bapco, NIOC, QatarEnergy operator stacks. Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform — affordable, accessible, fully customizable — delivers operator-format dashboards, multi-language inspection workflow visualisation, and audit-ready RBI cycle automation..
- Ras Tanura — Ras Tanura is the historic heart of Saudi Aramco's downstream operations, hosting the Ras Tanura Refinery (550,000 bpd — one of the world's largest), the Ras Tanura crude oil export terminal (the world's busiest, loading >5 million bpd to global markets), and the Ras Tanura Sea Island and Juaymah crude oil and NGL export jetties. Combined with the Saudi Aramco Crude Stabiliser Plant, the SADAF petrochemical complex 80 km south at Jubail, and the cross-country East-West Pipeline that runs to Yanbu, Ras Tanura is a single-site concentration of inspection scope unmatched in the GCC.
- Abqaiq — Abqaiq hosts Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq Plants, the world's largest crude oil stabilization and processing complex, handling roughly half of Saudi Arabia's crude output through its gas-oil separation plants (GOSPs), stabilizer columns, and desalting trains before export via Ras Tanura and Yanbu. Much of the original process infrastructure dates to the 1940s-50s with continuous debottlenecking since, and the facility's post-2019 drone-strike rebuild accelerated Aramco's push toward digital asset integrity monitoring across sour-crude stabilizers, amine units, and high-pressure separator vessels.
- Shaybah — Shaybah is Saudi Aramco's remote oil field deep in the Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter), one of the most logistically demanding production environments in the world, producing high-quality Arabian Extra Light crude through gas-oil separation plants and an integrated NGL recovery and gas processing complex, with all production and personnel access requiring dedicated pipeline, road, or air logistics across hundreds of kilometers of open desert. The field's extreme remoteness, sand encroachment, and thermal cycling create unique asset integrity challenges for pressure vessels, gas processing trains, and export pipelines, while flying in inspection crews and physically transporting historical inspection records is costly and slow.

Frequently asked questions
Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in Saudi Arabia?
The deciding capabilities in Saudi Arabia 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. The binding constraint for contractors here is not winning work, it is holding vendor approval. A single expired certification or an out-of-calibration instrument found at a pre-mobilisation check costs the mobilisation and damages the approval record. That is an operational systems problem before it is a technical one.
Which regulations and client audit regimes does it need to support in Saudi Arabia?
Inspection work is shaped less by a single national code than by Aramco's own engineering standards — SAES engineering standards, SAEP procedures, SAIC inspection checklists and the Aramco approved-vendor regime — layered on top of ASME Section V, VIII and IX, API 510, API 570, API 653 and API 580/581. Personnel are certified to ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712, with Aramco-specific approvals and CBT screening often required before mobilisation. The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and High Commission for Industrial Security requirements apply alongside. 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.
