Omnant Technologies, LLC

Omnant builds construction materials testing (CMT) software for CMT labs and geotechnical engineering firms. The platform connects field inspections, lab testing, and project management in a single system, replacing the paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets that have historically slowed testing operations down.

The company's roots set it apart from most construction software vendors. Omnant didn't start as a startup pitch or a generic project management tool retrofitted for construction. It grew out of a fourth-generation, family-run testing lab that needed to modernize its own operations, digitizing paper processes and tracking calibration dates for its own technicians before ever becoming a product for other labs to use. Founder Chad Dunham built the platform from that firsthand experience, which shows in how closely the software follows actual CMT and geotechnical workflows rather than adapting a general-purpose tool to fit.

That distinction matters in an industry where compliance isn't optional. CMT and geotechnical firms answer to ASTM protocols, AASHTO methods, and accreditation standards that most construction software was never built to handle. Omnant's platform includes ASTM-aligned specialized forms, automated chain-of-custody tracking for lab specimens, and built-in compliance reporting, so testing organizations can meet regulatory requirements without bolting on extra tools or manual double-checking.

Omnant's core solutions cover the full scope of a testing operation:

• Field Management: Interactive field forms tell inspectors exactly what data to capture on site, and reports build automatically from that data, cutting out double entry between the field and the office.
• Lab Testing and Reporting: Labs track samples from intake through final report, assign testing to technicians, flag priority samples, and connect directly with lab equipment to capture results automatically.
• Certification Tracking: The platform monitors technician certifications and equipment calibration dates, helping labs avoid the compliance gaps that come from expired credentials or missed calibration windows.
• Personnel Administration: Staffing, assignments, and technician records live in the same system as the testing data they support.
• Project Management: Scheduling, document control, and project oversight connect directly to the field and lab data instead of living in a separate tool.
• Quality System: Quality control processes are built into the platform's daily workflows, not handled as a separate audit exercise.

Testing organizations use Omnant across a wide range of project types, from skyscrapers, bridges, and highways to schools, hospitals, and residential developments, whether they're managing a single lab or coordinating a multi-location testing network with field teams spread across job sites.

Omnant integrates with equipment used in day-to-day testing work, including tools like ForneyVault, so data moves from the testing machine into the final report without manual transcription. The platform also supports client-facing reporting, letting testing firms deliver results to their customers through automated email delivery or a self-serve client portal, cutting down on the back-and-forth that typically follows a completed test.

The company is privately held and based in Chicago, Illinois. Its approach centers on solving the operational problems that come from managing field data collection, laboratory testing, personnel certifications, and project documentation across separate, disconnected systems, work that Omnant's team understands directly, having managed those same problems inside a working testing lab before building software to solve them for others.
