Construction and inspection ERP software in Singapore

Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in Singapore. 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 Singapore

The Jurong Island process cluster — ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron Oronite, Lanxess, Evonik and the Singapore Refining Company — plus Sembcorp and Keppel marine and offshore yards, Tuas port and industrial development, and the third-party inspection and calibration laboratory cluster serving them.

What governs inspection work here

What actually decides the purchase in Singapore

Singapore is documentation-heavy: the quality record — welder qualifications, NDT results per joint, material traceability by heat number and ITP hold-point evidence — is what actually gets audited by consultants and clients. Structured quality data beats attached PDFs decisively here.

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

Singapore — Singapore's Jurong Island hosts one of the world's most highly integrated petrochemical complexes, with ExxonMobil, Shell, and Sembcorp operating cracker units, reformers, and polymer plants within a few square kilometres. Space constraints and continuous operation schedules make risk-based inspection planning through digital twins essential for managing inspection windows without compromising production.
Jurong Island — Jurong Island is Singapore's purpose-built energy and chemicals hub, home to ExxonMobil's integrated refining and petrochemical complex, Shell's Pulau Bukom refinery, Singapore Refining Company, Chevron Oronite, Sumitomo Chemical, and dozens of specialty chemical producers connected by shared pipeline racks and the Jurong Rock Caverns underground liquid hydrocarbon storage facility. The island's density of cracking units, cryogenic storage, and high-pressure reactors — many operating at or beyond original design life — makes corrosion monitoring, RBI, and API 510/570/653 compliance a constant operational priority under National Environment Agency (NEA) and Energy Market Authority oversight.

Frequently asked questions

Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in Singapore?

The deciding capabilities in Singapore 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. Singapore is documentation-heavy: the quality record — welder qualifications, NDT results per joint, material traceability by heat number and ITP hold-point evidence — is what actually gets audited by consultants and clients. Structured quality data beats attached PDFs decisively here.

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

Workplace Safety and Health Act obligations and BCA requirements shape construction and industrial work, with ASME Section V, VIII and IX, ASME B31.1 and B31.3, AWS D1.1, API 510/570/653 and API 1104 governing the technical inspection. ISO 17020 and ISO 17025 accreditation via SAC is effectively table stakes for third-party inspection bodies. 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.

The full Singapore guide

This page covers one part of the picture. If you are choosing a platform to run the business on rather than researching a single topic, the complete guide for Singapore sets out what operators there actually have to satisfy, what the platform covers, how implementation runs, and what happens when you get in touch: business management software for Singapore.

Affordable, accessible, fully customizable. Book a free consultation and we will walk it through on your own workflow.

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.

Request a demo or a tailored quote — tell us methods, levels, headcount and timing, and a consultant calls you back prepared.

Singapore is one of the world's largest petrochemical hubs and a major refining center. The region's inspection ecosystem is world-class, featuring mega-scale refining operations, advanced petrochemical complexes, and sophisticated port terminals. An NDT ERP serving this market has to carry the evidence those operators audit against — MOM CERT, EMA, NEA, WSH Act — with technician certification, equipment calibration and inspection records tied to the job that used them.

In practice that means jurong Island turnaround technician readiness: CERT currency, medicals and island-pass evidence in a single mobilisation pack. Operators including ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron set the pre-qualification bar their contractors inherit. The system of record for that evidence is the ERP, not a spreadsheet a technician maintains between jobs.

Second workflow	Sembcorp/ExxonMobil Singapore cracker pressure-vessel API 510 inspection scheduling with client-format reports generated automatically.	Where scheduling and record-keeping usually break down first
What must be retrievable on demand	Technician certification currency · equipment calibration status · the report against the asset that generated it	These three are what an auditor asks for first
Deployment	Cloud or on-premise · configured to the codes above · offline field capture	Field crews lose connectivity; the record cannot depend on it

What must an NDT ERP track for inspection firms in Singapore?

Evidence against MOM CERT, EMA, NEA, WSH Act, API 510/570/653. That means each technician's certification currency by method and level, each instrument's calibration status on the day it was used, and every inspection report bound to the asset and the job that produced it. An auditor asks for those three before anything else.

Can an inspection company in Singapore run this alongside its existing accounting?

Yes. The ERP owns operations — jobs, technicians, equipment, reports — and pushes finished invoices to the accounting system, which keeps the chart of accounts, tax and reconciliation. For US firms that usually means QuickBooks; the split is documented in the QuickBooks integration guide rather than forcing a migration nobody asked for.

Does it work offline for field crews in Singapore?

Yes. Field capture runs offline and syncs when the device reconnects, because turnaround decks, tank interiors and remote sites have no usable signal and a record that depends on connectivity is a record that gets rewritten from memory hours later. Offline capture is the difference between a contemporaneous record and a reconstruction.

How long does implementation take for a firm in Singapore?

The configuration follows the codes and workflows above rather than a fixed template, so the timeline is set by how much existing data has to be migrated and cleaned — certification records and calibration history are the two that consume the time. Firms usually run the first job cycle in parallel before cutting over.

What happens to inspection records if a technician leaves?

They stay with the asset and the job, which is the point. Employer-based certification ends when the holder leaves, but the reports they signed remain part of the asset's inspection history and are still auditable. A system that stores records per technician rather than per asset loses that history on every departure.
