OMS covers audit management, equipment calibration tracking, document control, personnel competency, and QR-verified test report generation.
Does OMS help with NATA assessment preparation?
Yes. OMS is built around the specific clauses that NATA assessors examine — equipment calibration (Clause 6.4), personnel competency (Clause 6.2), document control (Clause 8.3), internal audits (Clause 8.7), and non-conformance management. Every record is timestamped and retrievable on demand.
Can OMS generate NATA-endorsed test reports?
Yes. OMS generates professional test certificates with QR codes that clients and regulators scan to instantly verify authenticity and accreditation status. Reports include your NATA symbol, scope of accreditation, and unique report reference numbers.
Is OMS suitable for NATA-accredited calibration laboratories?
Yes. OMS includes a Calibration Management module that tracks instrument calibration due dates, reference standards traceability, and uncertainty of measurement — all required under ISO/IEC 17025 for NATA-accredited calibration labs.

Can OMS monitor corrosion rates across multiple CMLs over time?
Yes. OMS records thickness measurements at each Condition Monitoring Location over successive inspections and trends corrosion rates to flag locations approaching minimum required thickness.

Emergency Contacts

What is the Emergency Contacts module in OMS?
The Emergency Contacts module is a centralised in-system directory for all emergency-related contacts — replacing scattered spreadsheets and printed lists. It stores role, service provider agency, contact numbers, emergency instructions, and supporting documents, all searchable and accessible directly within OMS from any device.
Who can create or edit emergency contacts in OMS?
Only System Users, User Managers, and Productivity Users can create or edit emergency contacts. For all other user roles, the '+Contact' button is disabled with a tooltip reading 'Request your manager to permit you.' This ensures only authorised personnel manage critical contact data.
Can an emergency contact be associated with multiple branches?
Yes. Each emergency contact can be associated with one or multiple branches. The listing page can then be filtered by branch to show only contacts relevant to a specific site or location — useful for multi-site inspection and testing operations.
Does OMS support click-to-call for emergency contact numbers?
Yes. Phone numbers in OMS Emergency Contacts — including branch phone, official mobile, and personal mobile — are displayed as clickable links, allowing direct calling from any device without manual dialling.
What happens if a selected contact person becomes inactive or suspended?
If a contact person is selected from the active user list and later becomes an ex-user or is suspended, OMS displays a validation error in edit mode — requiring the record owner to select a new active user before the contact can be saved. This prevents stale or unreachable contacts remaining in the directory.
Can I attach documents to an emergency contact record?
Yes. Each emergency contact supports document uploads in PDF, image, Excel, and Word formats. In create mode, files are stored on save. In edit mode, files upload instantly. All attached documents can be downloaded directly from the listing page.
What are Emergency Instructions in OMS?
The Emergency Instructions field captures step-by-step guidance to follow during an emergency — such as evacuation procedures, escalation paths, or contact sequences. These instructions are displayed in a pop-up dialog on the listing page for immediate access without opening the full contact record.

Job Scheduling & Calendar

Does OMS have a job scheduling and calendar feature?
Yes. OMS includes an integrated Job Scheduling and Personnel Schedule Calendar. Schedule data entered during job creation — start date, end date, allocated daily hours, and assigned technician — automatically populates the calendar, giving managers a live visual overview of all scheduled work by branch, department, and person.
Where do I find the Job Calendar in OMS?
Navigate to Home → Personnel Schedule Calendar. The calendar displays all jobs that have been scheduled with assigned personnel and defined dates. You can also reach it via the Jobs Dashboard.
Can I assign a job to multiple people or across multiple days?
Yes. During job creation, use the Add(+) Row button in the Job Schedule section to add multiple entries — one per person or per date range. Each row can have its own start date, end date, allocated daily hours, and assigned personnel.
What calendar views are available in OMS?
OMS supports Jobs Only, Schedule, Day, Next 7 Days, Week, Month, and Custom view options. Filters include branch, department, personnel, user status (Active / Ex-Users), job number, client company, job address, and time range per day.
What is 'My Calendar' in OMS?
My Calendar is a personal view that shows only jobs scheduled to the currently logged-in user. It helps individual technicians and field staff quickly see their own upcoming work without the noise of the full team calendar.
Does OMS maintain an audit trail for job schedule changes?
Yes. OMS records a full audit trail of every schedule change made to a job — including who changed it, what was changed, and when. This satisfies ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17020 traceability requirements.
Can I create a new job directly from the Job Calendar?
Yes. The Job Calendar includes a '+Job' icon that redirects directly to the job creation page — allowing schedulers to create new jobs without navigating away from the calendar.

Pricing & Billing

How is pricing structured?
Pricing is flexible based on users, sites, or report volume. Monthly, annual, and enterprise plans are available. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your scope.
Can I upgrade or add modules later?
Yes. You can start with core modules and add more anytime — client portals, additional disciplines, automation tools, or ERP features.
What payment options are supported?
We accept bank transfer, credit card, and international payments. GST-compliant invoices are issued per region (India: INR + GST, Australia: AUD + GST).
Are invoices GST / tax-compliant?
Yes. Invoices follow Indian and Australian tax regulations. OMS ensures transparent cross-border billing with region-appropriate tax treatment.
