Enabling a scalable integrity management platform for an NDT services provider managing 40+ offshore platforms, with rapid migration and immediate value discovery.
Our customer, an NDT services provider, required a transformation from their largest client's inadequate home-grown system to a professional, scalable integrity management platform that could grow with their business.
The customer evaluated several software vendors and became aware of VisualAIM when one of their representatives recognized our legacy TMS platform. After learning that VisualAIM had acquired TMS, they initiated discussions and ultimately selected us for compelling reasons:
We consistently responded faster than every other vendor evaluated, demonstrating our commitment to customer support and partnership from the very first interaction.
Better positioned for ongoing support compared to alternatives like Credosoft (UK-based), ensuring timely assistance and alignment with US offshore operations.
Clearer and more intuitive user interface that would accelerate adoption and reduce training requirements for field teams and office personnel.
VisualAIM's ability to centralize data in structured, client-specific environments made it ideal for an NDT firm with a growing portfolio, creating long-term platform stickiness.
Because this implementation was a direct data migration from an existing database without requiring data collection from manufacturer records, the execution was completed entirely by US-based resources. The full migration, including customer review and validation, was finished in just four weeks.
As part of continuing support, we're now enabling inspection forms that can be executed through our tablet-based Inspection Workflow application, creating a more streamlined and paperless process for field teams working on offshore platforms.
Immediately after migration, we identified major discrepancies between the planned inspection scope and the true state of the data. With complete transparency and accurate records, the NDT vendor can now present their client with a corrected and defensible inspection plan, significantly improving both service quality and trust.
The discovery of inspection scope discrepancies prevented potential safety incidents, regulatory violations, and costly emergency repairs that could have resulted from missed or incorrectly scheduled inspections.
As the NDT vendor secures additional clients, new licenses will be added on a per-database basis. The client has indicated that Oxy's offshore division may be their next major customer, representing a significant expansion opportunity for both the NDT vendor and VisualAIM.
