FIELD WELDING CREWS DESERVE A REAL SYSTEM. NOT A GROUP TEXT.

DISPATCHING WELDERS ACROSS A COUNTY BY TEXT.

• • Field welding is not a shop job. Your welders travel to the work — construction sites, farms, industrial plants, pipeline right-of-ways. Dispatching the right welder to the right job with the right certifications requires more than a group text.
• • Not every welder holds every certification. Structural steel, pipe welding, underwater, AWS D1.1, ASME — the wrong welder on the wrong job means failed inspections and rework. But your certification tracking is a spreadsheet that was last updated three months ago.
• • Emergency repair calls — a broken handrail at a school, a cracked structural beam, a leaking pipe in a plant — require immediate dispatch of a qualified welder. Your current process is calling welders one by one until someone qualifies and answers.
• • When your welders finish early on a job, they sit idle because the office does not know they are available. No real-time visibility means no real-time reassignment.

For welding company owners and dispatchers

WELD DOCUMENTATION THAT INSPECTORS WILL ACTUALLY ACCEPT.

• • Certified welding requires documentation — weld procedure specifications (WPS), procedure qualification records (PQR), welder certification numbers, joint details, and inspection results. Paper weld logs get lost, get wet, and get illegible.
• • Before and after photos of welds are increasingly required for structural work. Inspectors want to see joint preparation, fit-up, and final weld quality. Photos on personal phones do not get filed properly.
• • Code compliance on structural and pressure welding requires traceability — which welder, which procedure, which date, on which joint. When the inspector asks three months later, you need the answer in seconds, not hours.
• • Non-destructive testing (NDT) results need to be tied to specific welds on specific jobs. If the UT results are in one file and the job record is in another, traceability is broken.

For welding supervisors and quality managers

JOB SITES WHERE YOUR PHONE IS YOUR ONLY TOOL.

• • Field welding happens on construction sites, in crawlspaces, on elevated structures, and inside tanks where signal is poor or nonexistent. If your scheduling app requires connectivity, your welder has nothing.
• • Welding gloves are heavy. Scrolling through menus with fire-resistant leather gloves is not happening. Your welder needs to see their job details with one tap and large controls.
• • Environmental conditions on welding sites — heat, sparks, dust, confined spaces — make delicate phone handling impractical. The app needs to be usable with quick, imprecise taps.
• • Your mobile welding rig is their office. Everything they need to know about the next job should be on their phone before they drive to the site. Not in a voicemail. Not in an email they have to squint at.
