NDT Compliance Management
Compliance you don't have to babysit.
TRACE tracks every technician, certification, and compliance item across your NDT programs — so audits are painless and nothing expires unnoticed.
Modular by design
Start with one module. Add the rest when you need them.
TRACE is a compliance-tracking core with modules on top, and the ones below are sold as products in their own right — sign up for just that one, with no other TRACE subscription, and it's the whole app you see. Add the rest whenever you're ready: nothing is migrated and nothing is rebuilt, because it was all one system to begin with.
Certification Testing
Author certification exams, administer them online or on paper with proctoring, certificates and retake rules, and credit passing scores to the certification.
Buy it on its ownTool Control
Track equipment calibration and daily process controls against your standards' set points, with custody, vendor send-outs, and an out-of-tolerance answer that names the work at risk.
Buy it on its ownSafety

What TRACE does
Everything your NDT program needs to stay compliant.
Never miss an expiration
Every certification and compliance item is date-tracked. Past-due and upcoming items surface on one dashboard — no spreadsheets, no surprises.
Audit-ready in seconds
Technicians, certifications, vision exams, and records live in one organized place. When an auditor calls, you're ready.
Every record names a person
Who the RSO is, which Level III answers for each method, and who signed and examined, checked against their own qualifications so nobody examines themselves.
Your written practice sets the numbers
Pass marks, required hours and proficiency intervals come from your own written practice, never from a table TRACE invented.
Your forms carry your own numbers
Every form you save becomes a controlled form, with your own number and revision printed on everything issued from it.
A signed record stops changing
Once a report, certification or other record is signed, the database refuses any change to it; a signed report or charge sheet is corrected by a new revision that keeps the signed original.
A&P and IA, for aviation shops
Switch on A&P and IA tracking to keep FAA mechanic certificates and Inspection Authorization currency beside your NDT certifications. TRACE is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA.
Built for NDT
Methods, levels, and programs are modeled the way your industry actually works — not bent into generic CRM fields.
Give clients a portal
If you serve clients, each gets a secure login to see their own compliance status and documents. Exactly what they need, nothing they don't.
Test and certify
Build certification exams, administer them to technicians online or on paper, and credit passing scores straight onto the certification record.
Keep tools in tolerance
An equipment register, standards-based process checks with editable set points, shop-floor logging, and the out-of-tolerance paper trail auditors ask for first.
Watch the standards
TRACE keeps a watch list of the codes and standards NDT work is done to and checks it every week, flagging any new revision before an auditor or a client mentions it.
Mail that comes from you
Connect the mailbox you already use, or set up your own sending domain, and the mail TRACE sends for you leaves from your address, free on every plan. Connecting asks for permission to send only.
Security that's scanned, not assumed
Access rules enforced by the database itself, encryption everywhere, two-factor sign-in — and security scans that keep re-checking all of it as TRACE evolves.
Nobody hands you an empty screen
A new account starts with a short list of what is worth doing first, and each line ticks itself off when the record exists. Tool Control, Safety, People, Project Management, Ledger, Clients, Certification Testing and QMS each open the same way.
Who it's for
In-house NDT programs and consultancies alike.
In-house programs
You're the Level III or quality manager at a manufacturer, MRO, lab or fabricator. Your own shop is the one company on the account and your whole team works inside it: technician certifications and exams, tool control, safety, People records, QMS and Nadcap readiness. Nothing here assumes you have clients, and every module works without one.
Consultancies
You run NDT programs for other companies, from a solo practice to a firm with consultants on staff. Each client is a company on your account with its own portal login, its own document register and its own view of compliance, and you see the whole portfolio at once.
Same software, same price list. The Free plan is one person and one company, which is exactly an in-house program getting started.
How it works
Set it up once. TRACE watches it from there.
Add your program
Import technicians, certifications, and the methods and levels they're qualified for — and training certificates from any provider, their hours counted toward each level.
TRACE tracks it
Expirations, vision exams, and audit items are watched automatically — nothing falls through.
Stay audit-ready
One dashboard shows exactly where you stand — and if you serve clients, they get their own view into it.
