Inspection and NDT ERP software in the UK

Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in the United Kingdom and North Sea. 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 the United Kingdom and North Sea

North Sea operators working out of Aberdeen, the Grangemouth, Stanlow, Fawley and Immingham refining and petrochemical complexes, Teesside industrial and hydrogen/CCS development, the Devonport and Plymouth naval refit base, and the Tyne and Newcastle offshore wind fabrication cluster.

What governs inspection work here

What actually decides the purchase in the United Kingdom and North Sea

North Sea life-extension work makes fitness-for-service and remaining-life defensibility central rather than optional: assets are routinely operated beyond original design life on the strength of documented assessment, so the quality of the inspection evidence chain directly determines what the operator is allowed to do.

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

Aberdeen — Aberdeen is the established capital of the UK offshore oil and gas industry, with operators including BP, TotalEnergies, Harbour Energy, and EnQuest managing ageing North Sea platforms, FPSOs, and subsea systems from local offices. Life extension programmes for platforms beyond their original design life rely heavily on fitness-for-service assessments, and digital twins that aggregate decades of inspection data provide the evidentiary basis for continued operation approvals from the HSE.
London — London serves as the corporate headquarters for BP, Shell, and numerous EPCI contractors managing inspection programmes across the North Sea, downstream Europe, and global asset portfolios. Digital twin platforms adopted at the London corporate level drive standardised inspection data workflows across operating sites worldwide.
Glasgow — Glasgow serves UK offshore, decommissioning, refining, nuclear, or heritage infrastructure markets where Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform delivers inspection + RBI + FFS overlay aligned with Shell, BP, TotalEnergies, Equinor, Sellafield, and Network Rail standards. Affordable, accessible, fully customizable..
Newcastle — Newcastle serves Australia east-coast industrial, marine, refining, infrastructure, or heritage markets where Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform delivers inspection + RBI + FFS overlay aligned with Viva Energy, ExxonMobil, AGL, EnergyAustralia, BHP, and Tier-1 port + rail + tunnel operator workflows. Affordable, accessible, fully customizable..
Plymouth — Plymouth hosts regional industrial, manufacturing, or EPC delivery activity where Atlantis NDT Digital Twin platform delivers inspection + RBI + FFS overlay on 3D asset models. Affordable, accessible, fully customizable — multi-sector workflow + dual-scheme cert integration + audit-trail recording..
Teesside — Teesside on the Tees Estuary is one of the UK's oldest and densest chemical clusters, home to SABIC UK Petrochemicals' olefins complex, Huntsman's manufacturing plants, the Sembcorp-managed Wilton International site, and the Eni-operated CATS gas terminal that processes North Sea gas for onward distribution. The region is now also the site of Net Zero Teesside, one of the UK's largest carbon capture and storage projects, layering new CO2 gathering pipelines and compression infrastructure onto an estate of process plants dating back decades.
Grangemouth — Grangemouth on the Firth of Forth is Scotland's principal industrial energy hub, historically home to the Petroineos refinery (a joint venture of PetroChina and Ineos) alongside the adjacent Ineos Grangemouth petrochemical complex — olefins, polymers, and the INEOS FPS Kinneil terminal that processes Forties Pipeline System crude and gas from over 80 North Sea fields. With the refinery transitioning to a fuel import terminal and the site under scrutiny from Scottish Government re-industrialization planning, integrity teams face a complex mix of decommissioning, life-extension, and repurposing decisions across thousands of vessels and pipeline circuits.
Stanlow — Stanlow Manufacturing Complex on the Manchester Ship Canal near Ellesmere Port is the UK's second-largest refinery, operated by Essar Oil UK and central to the HyNet North West hydrogen and carbon capture cluster — one of the UK's flagship industrial decarbonization projects. The site's dense concentration of distillation, hydrocracking, and hydrotreating units sits alongside new blue hydrogen production and CO2 capture infrastructure being built in parallel with continued live refining operations.

Frequently asked questions

Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in the United Kingdom and North Sea?

The deciding capabilities in the United Kingdom and North Sea 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 Sea life-extension work makes fitness-for-service and remaining-life defensibility central rather than optional: assets are routinely operated beyond original design life on the strength of documented assessment, so the quality of the inspection evidence chain directly determines what the operator is allowed to do.

Which regulations and client audit regimes does it need to support in the United Kingdom and North Sea?

HSE regulates under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, the Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations and the Ionising Radiations Regulations, with the North Sea Transition Authority governing licensing. Technical inspection follows PD 5500, EN 13445 and EN 13480 alongside ASME and API codes, with personnel certified to PCN/BINDT or ASNT and inspection bodies accredited to ISO 17020 by UKAS. 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.

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