About Us

Empowering success for construction materials testing and
geotechnical projects beyond the lab

Welcome to Omnant Technologies, a leading provider of cutting-edge field and laboratory testing software. Our unique cloud-based platform was designed by professional engineers and technology enthusiasts who saw the need for a modern approach to materials testing in the construction and geotechnical industries.

With innovative, user-centric solutions that streamline processes, automate workflows, and ensure compliance, we help leading laboratories increase productivity, efficiency, accuracy, and client satisfaction at every stage of a construction project.

By harnessing the power of our proven technology, business owners, geotechnical engineers, project managers, lab technicians, field technicians, and entire project teams can confidently make informed decisions, resulting in safer, more durable, and cost-effective structures.

Where We Came From

Our journey began in 2003 when a fourth-generation, family-run testing lab grew weary of the challenge of maintaining calibration dates on laboratory equipment amid stacks of files and paperwork. The transition from traditional methods such as notebook lab test lists, Excel sheet cylinder break lists, and three-part field reports to digital systems marked our initial steps toward modernization.

As we evolved, it became apparent that our in-house solution possessed unique features and integrations not found elsewhere in the market. Thus, Omnant was conceived. Refined over more than a decade through daily use by a commercial testing lab, our software has been field-tested and proven reliable. We remain dedicated to enhancing efficiency, ensuring accuracy, and continually optimizing day-to-day operations for our clients.

What Sets Us Apart

User-focused, intuitive design: We understand that user experience is key. Our simple, easy-to-understand interface minimizes the learning curve and maximizes productivity, even for the most tech-adverse inspectors.

Innovative technology: Our software leverages the latest technological advancements to deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in materials testing management.

Integration: With the ability to integrate with laboratory equipment or accounting and payroll software, we pride ourselves on maximizing efficiency while maintaining accuracy. Data need not be entered multiple times, simplifying and streamlining workflows.

Customization: Whether you are managing small-scale projects, are part of a team on a supertall high-rise, or are simply acting as the lab of record, our software solutions can be customized and scaled to meet your organization's specific needs.

Cost-effective, transparent pricing: You only pay for the number of corporate users required (client distribution users are always free).

Commitment to excellence: From software development and training to customer support, we continually strive to exceed our clients' expectations.
