Omnant Technologies, LLC

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.
