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.

Vancouver: the country's largest port, plus the shipyards and pipeline terminal that sit beside it

The Port of Vancouver is Canada's largest port by trade volume, and its container, bulk and marine-terminal infrastructure generates a category of examination work that runs on statutory and class-society inspection cycles rather than an outage calendar: crane and container-handling equipment, structural steel on wharves and berths, and terminal infrastructure inspected on schedules set by port and class-society requirements rather than a single operator's turnaround plan. Alongside the port, Seaspan's Vancouver Shipyards and Vancouver Drydock build and maintain vessels under Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy, and the Trans Mountain pipeline system ends at a marine terminal within the harbour, adding tank, pipeline and marine-loading infrastructure to the same waterfront.

That combination puts several genuinely different examination disciplines within one metro area, each running on its own client relationship and its own schedule. Port and terminal work is won through terminal-operator and port-authority relationships and arrives continuously rather than in bursts; shipyard work follows a build or refit schedule set by a national procurement programme rather than a commercial client's outage calendar; and pipeline-terminal work follows tank and piping integrity cycles under API 653-style scope, tied to a marine facility rather than a refinery. A company chasing all three needs three different sales relationships and three different scheduling rhythms under one roof, not one generic "Vancouver industrial" account plan.

The port work is the steadiest of the three and the one most inspection companies underweight. Because it does not arrive as a dramatic annual outage the way refinery or oil-sands turnaround work does, it is easy for a company built around outage-driven industrial accounts to treat port and marine-terminal examination as secondary, when the statutory and class-society cycles behind it generate more consistent, better-scheduled demand over a full year than a single large but infrequent turnaround client typically does.

Vancouver also rewards an inspection company that can move technicians between marine, pipeline and general industrial scope without re-qualifying them from scratch for each. A technician doing hull thickness gauging for the shipyard, tank-shell examination for the pipeline terminal, and structural steel work on a port wharf in the same month needs a qualification record that clearly shows which method and which client-specific endorsement covers which scope, because the acceptance basis and the client expectations differ across all three even when the underlying UT or MT technique barely changes. Companies that cannot show that separation clearly on paper end up requalifying technicians unnecessarily, or worse, deploying someone whose paperwork does not actually cover the job.

Vancouver's inspection demand is marine and terminal work rather than process plant. Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards in North Vancouver is building the Canadian Coast Guard's $3. An NDT ERP serving this market has to carry the evidence those operators audit against — Technical Safety BC boiler, pressure vessel and pressure piping permits, CSA B51 design registration and BC-issued CRNs, CSA W178.1 inspection organisation and CSA W178.2 inspector certification, CAN/CGSB-48.

15-billion heavy polar icebreaker, whose hull plate is roughly three times the thickness of the joint support ships on adjacent ways; Vancouver Drydock handles repair refits. Across Burrard Inlet, Neptune Terminals moves steelmaking coal and potash, and Pembina's 125-acre Vancouver Wharves handles over four million tonnes of dry bulk and six million barrels of liquids a year. Lafarge's Richmond kiln, the region's cement plant, exceeds a million tonnes annually. Refining sits next door in Burnaby, not in Vancouver itself. Operators including Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards, Vancouver Drydock, Neptune Terminals 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.

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

Evidence against Technical Safety BC boiler, pressure vessel and pressure piping permits, CSA B51 design registration and BC-issued CRNs, CSA W178.1 inspection organisation and CSA W178.2 inspector certification, CAN/CGSB-48.9712 NDT personnel certification (NRCan NDTCB), Transport Canada Marine Safety and classification-society survey requirements for shipyard work. 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver?

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 Vancouver?

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.
