Omnant Blog

The construction industry has moved beyond paper and pencil -- so should your construction materials testing processes.

Omnant 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.

Omnant enables higher productivity

• Omnant enables higher productivity by eliminating the fragmentation between capturing field data and conveying it into a final report 'the old fashioned way'
• Field Technicians are able to enter data on-site via connected device, not on paper that can be lost or misread
• Project Managers receive and review field data without a trip to an office, phone calls from the jobsite, or sending email attachments
• Lab Technicians and Lab Managers can work from the same system, skipping the need for data re-entry
• Dispatchers are able to see where everyone is working when, enabling efficient work order scheduling

“Our techs had to go home, open a Word doc, then send it to someone, who sent it to the client. Omnant streamlines everything and makes it easier on the techs and easier on dispatchers.”

Streamlined Omnant workflows mean profitable growth

• Omnant advances the efficiency of collecting and transferring information from the field, to the lab, and to your clients who are paying for the testing and inspections
• Omnant makes materials testing activities and outcomes clear across every location and office of your firm

"Our company's president sees the evidence of Omnant's efficiency because we’re getting reports out the door faster -- it has saved us considerably on overhead and labor costs."

Digital data in Omnant delivers benefits across your business

• Omnant eliminates the delay caused by field data being handwritten on-site, then retyped or reformatted off-site
• Clients can receive their reports as soon as it is prepared for distribution by your technicians and managers, no waiting for separate emails or needing to maintain complex file systems of various worksheets and documents
• Omnant enables standardized reporting which provides consistency and builds trust with your clients and accreditors alike

“The inspectors complete reports on-site, in their hand, not at home. Omnant eliminates delays in getting reports to our clients.”
