--- title: Protective coating report software description: Stratum Track captures the prep, the profile, the ambient readings and the film thickness on the step they belong to, and generates your coating report from them. For blast, paint and protective coating shops in Australia. canonical: https://stratumsoftware.io/protective-coatings-reporting-software.html updated: 2026-08-16 --- FOR BLAST, PAINT AND PROTECTIVE COATING SHOPS # Once the topcoat is on, the report is the only proof. Stratum Track captures the prep, the profile, the ambient readings and the film thickness on the step they belong to, and generates the client's report from them. [See it in action ->](#see) [Show me on my own report ->](#start) [Watch the 90 second walkthrough ->](https://stratumsoftware.io/watch.md) Your inspector signs it, the same as he does now. Nothing to send us, and no sales call. Sound familiar ## Does any of this sound like your shop? The readings go on a clipboard, then somebody types them into the report that night. Stratum Track puts your own inspection record on the tablet and your blaster or painter fills it in at the job. The client's copy generates when the job closes. Dew point and ambient get taken before every coat, and the numbers live on paper until someone transcribes them. Your crew records the temperature, the humidity and the dew point on the step they belong to, before the coat goes on, and every reading is stored as data the report can use. The salt test and the profile check need a photograph, and those photographs arrive later off somebody's phone. You mark which photographs the job requires and the step won't close without them, with a guide image showing the shot. They land on the step they belong to, stamped with who took them and when. A job arrives on a paper docket that goes in a pigeon hole and gets written up later. Your team raises the job on the tablet at the gate and photographs the docket against it, and does the same again when it leaves. If one of those is yours, this is what Stratum Track does about it. [See it in action ->](#see) See it in action ## This is what your inspector would be filling in. The wet film and dry film readings against the minimum and the maximum for that coat. The hold point before the topcoat, with the work below it paused until your inspector signs. The photograph the template requires, stamped with the person, the time and the job. There's also a [90 second walkthrough](https://stratumsoftware.io/watch.md) of Stratum Track. If you already run something ## Stratum Track picks up where your system stops. You may have scheduling, safety and job costing sorted already, with the coating report at the end the last thing still done by hand. Stratum Track does that part. You keep what you run now, and we build it from the report you already issue. Who signs it ## Your inspector, your certificate, your report. Your NACE or AMPP certified inspector signs the job, and his certificate number sits on the report where it does now. Stratum Track records who signed which hold point and when, so the evidence of who did what is on the job rather than in somebody's memory. Stratum Track certifies nothing and holds no accreditation of its own, and we don't decide what your coating specification requires. We produce the record your quality system already asks for. How it works ## Five steps, starting from your own report. - Send us one report you already issue, an AS 3894 inspection report or your own two coat or three coat record. - We build the job template, the fields, the photo requirements and the report style from it. - Your team reviews and approves it. - Your crew works the job on a tablet: prep, profile, ambient, coats, photographs, hold points, sign-offs. - The branded client report generates from what they captured. Inside it ## Built for the readings that decide whether a coating lasts. - Real tables with merged cells, so wet film and dry film readings per coat are stored as data rather than a photograph of a sheet. - Auto-calculated fields, so a reading is checked against the minimum and the maximum for that coat as it's entered. - Required photographs enforced where the template calls for them, with a guide image. Your salt test and your profile check get a picture, not just a number. - Hold points configured per step and signed individually, so the topcoat waits until your inspector has signed the coat below it. - A value entered once is shown read only later in the same job. Nothing is typed twice. - Your own specification data loaded as lookup tables, so the limits your client's spec sets are on the step. - One job template carries the internal QA record and the client-facing report, both generating from the same captured data. - Steps, tables and fields show or hide on conditions, so a two coat job doesn't ask for a third. - Unlimited users. No per-seat charge. How the setup works ## AI-assisted setup, human-approved operation. Standing up a system like this normally takes weeks of somebody's time, and that's the part we do for you. AI reads the report you sent and drafts the workflow and the report structure from it. Your people edit it and approve it before your crew ever sees it. Templates move through draft, reviewed, approved and live. Results in a finished report are the ones your inspector recorded, never something the software worked out for itself. ## See it built from your own report. Send us one report you issue today.
