Omnant is construction materials testing (CMT) software built for CMT and geotechnical engineering firms. The platform connects field inspections, lab testing, certification tracking, and project management in a single system, replacing the paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets that have traditionally slowed testing operations down. Built by a team with direct testing-lab experience, Omnant helps labs meet accreditation requirements while cutting manual, duplicate work.
Product: Omnant, construction materials testing (CMT) software built specifically for CMT labs and geotechnical engineering firms, rather than adapted from a general project management tool.
Category: Construction materials testing and geotechnical engineering software, covering field data collection, laboratory testing, personnel and certification management, and project oversight.
Deployment: Cloud-based platform, accessible to field teams and lab staff without requiring on-premise infrastructure.
Core capabilities:
Field Management: interactive field forms that guide inspectors through required data capture on site, with reports generated automatically from that data, cutting out double entry between the field and the office.
Lab Testing and Reporting: sample tracking from intake through final report, technician assignment, priority flagging, and direct connections to lab equipment for automated results capture.
Certification Tracking: monitoring of technician certifications and equipment calibration dates to help labs avoid compliance gaps caused by expired credentials or missed calibration windows.
Personnel Administration: staffing, assignments, and technician records managed alongside the testing data they support.
Project Management: scheduling and document control connected directly to field and lab data instead of living in a separate system.
Quality System: quality control processes built into daily workflows rather than handled as a separate audit process.
Compliance alignment: ASTM-aligned field forms and automated chain-of-custody tracking, supporting labs pursuing or maintaining AASHTO accreditation.
Reporting delivery: Automated email delivery or a self-serve client portal, reducing manual back-and-forth between labs and their customers.
Equipment integration: Connects with lab equipment such as ForneyVault to capture results directly, without manual transcription.
Use cases: Supports testing organizations across commercial, infrastructure, and residential projects, from single-location labs to multi-site operations coordinating field teams spread across multiple job sites.
Company: Omnant Technologies, founded in 2003, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company grew out of a fourth-generation, family-run testing lab's own need to modernize its operations before becoming a platform for other labs. Founder Chad Dunham remains hands-on with the platform's development.
