Offshore Pipe Tracking Software
From pen and paper to a mobile solution, what a difference! An offshore pipelining company came to us because they knew there had to be a more efficient alternative to tracking data with pen and paper.
We created a mobile offshore pipe tracking software application to record measurements and quality statistics on site.

Offshore pipelining
Issues
This pipelining company is hired by international governments and companies to lay pipes at the bottom of the ocean floor. Pipes are inspected on the beach before being loaded onto a barge and shipped out to the open ocean for construction.
Before using our custom software, our client inefficiently recorded all data with pen and paper. Even after loading the barge, the operation was put on hold for another 1-2 hours until all data was entered into an Access database, printed and sent to the barge Captain before they could cast off and begin the underwater pipelining.
Our Custom Solutions
Custom Mobile Application
To solve their tedious pen and paper recording and tracking issues, IT Impact developed a custom mobile program to expedite the operation, providing same-day electronic documentation to clients and was able to monitor vendor quality on site.
“Discover the power of your data!”™
Using rugged mobile technology integrated with an MSDE database on a laptop, quality assurance inspectors can now quickly inspect pipes and automatically record inspection results. They now have more time to inspect other aspects of the pipes and provide clients with more comprehensive reports on a daily basis. Pipe vendors can now evaluate many projects at one time to determine the defects per thousand at least once a year.
When you’re out at sea working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can’t just pick up the phone and ask for tech support. With a modern data collection system, this company now has the competitive edge and is able to provide improved customer service.
