The problem
Post-inspection reporting
is still done by hand.

Every petroleum inspection ends the same way. A coordinator copies data from the workbook into report templates. Cell by cell. Every job. Every time.

4–10h
Lost per coordinator, every week
Copying figures from workbooks into report templates. Cell by cell. Every job. Every client format. Error-prone and invisible in cost tracking — until you add it up.
Every client wants it different.
Rigid templates break on every job
Different clients have different reporting requirements — different fields, different layouts, different levels of detail. Coordinators end up reformatting from scratch. Every time.
Errors slip through.
Manual copying means manual mistakes
Copy-paste errors in figures, wrong table lookups, missed validation steps — when reports go out unchecked, it reflects on your company's credibility. Not acceptable in this industry.
Excel isn't going anywhere.
The industry will not standardise
Every inspector works in Excel. Every company uses different workbook formats. We know because we've tried to change it. The software that actually helps is the software that reads what already exists.
How it works
Three steps.
Under 60 seconds.

No new workflow. No templates to adopt. We read what your inspectors already produce.

01
Upload your workbook
Drop in your inspector's existing Excel file. Any format, any structure — Compass reads what it finds, not a schema you've had to adopt.
02
Compass extracts & validates
The engine pulls 15–25 fields, validates against ASTM/API standards, flags any gaps or errors, and links every output back to its source cell.
03
Download your report pack
Get validated, modular report blocks — CoQ, CoD, Time Log, OBQ/ROB — ready to send to your client.

Our experience
We've been inside
this industry for years.

We built inspection management software for AmSpec and scaled it through hypergrowth. We understand what SME inspection companies actually need — because we've seen it firsthand.

We built IMS for AmSpec — we know this world
Our team shipped inspection management software for one of the largest petroleum inspection companies in the world. We've seen how reporting actually works at scale — and where it breaks for smaller teams.
Up and running in minutes, not months
No lengthy implementation, no training programme, no workflow overhaul. If your team can upload a file, they can use Compass. The first report pack is ready before the end of your first session.
No templates. We read what you already produce.
We know standardisation doesn't work — inspectors won't change their Excel habits, and they shouldn't have to. Compass is designed around that reality, not against it.
Validated against standards your clients actually use
ASTM Table 6A/6B, VCF, VEF — the same standards underpinning every cargo dispute. Errors caught before the report leaves your desk, not after.
Built on real domain knowledge
"We aren't asking inspectors to change how they work. We're reading what they already produce and turning it into exactly what clients need."
