If you run a construction materials testing firm, your “system” probably looks something like this:
It works — until it doesn’t.
As volume increases, the cracks start to show:
The problem is not your people. It’s the patchwork stack.
Modern CMT firms need a single system built specifically for how field inspections, lab testing, review, and reporting actually work.
That’s where Aldoa comes in.

Most firms did not intentionally design a disconnected workflow. It evolved over time.
The result:
The best CMT software in 2026 is not just about digitizing forms. It must eliminate this fragmentation entirely.
If you’re evaluating a replacement for gINT, spreadsheets, or legacy tools, your platform should deliver:
Most systems handle one or two of these. Very few handle all of them — in one platform.
Aldoa is a single, modern platform built specifically for CMT and geotechnical workflows.
It consolidates:
Instead of jumping between systems, your team works in one environment — from dispatch to final deliverable.
Generic calendars are not dispatch systems.
Aldoa includes:
Managers control what field techs see. No more confusion. Notifications are sent via email today, with SMS functionality coming soon. This alone eliminates the Google Calendar workaround most firms rely on.
Many firms do not know a tech is onsite until a client calls. In Aldoa, technicians must check in to access assigned forms. That triggers live workflow tracking across every work order and step. Think of it as a “pizza tracker” for your operations.
You can see:
That operational visibility does not exist in spreadsheet-based systems.
Incomplete field forms are one of the biggest drivers of report backlog.
Aldoa’s forms are highly configurable and built around your SOPs:
If information is missing, the form cannot be submitted. Legacy systems are rigid. They force firms to adapt to the software. Aldoa is malleable. It adapts to your workflow.
Field documentation should not live in email threads.
Aldoa embeds:
Maps and photos are tied directly to work orders and reports. No more emailing photos to yourself. This improves documentation quality and strengthens audit readiness.
Clients often ask:
“Send us all the tests you’ve completed for this project.”
In most firms, that means bundling PDFs manually. Aldoa can generate dashboards across tests and automate consolidated reporting. Instead of assembling files for hours, teams produce structured outputs instantly. That reduces closeout time dramatically.
Cylinder breaks often live in spreadsheets.
Aldoa’s cylinder break dashboard can function as:
For labs using Forney equipment, integration allows automated ingestion of results when Wi-Fi is enabled. This reduces manual entry and transcription errors.
Backlogs often form in review.
Aldoa provides:
Reviewers can:
The same workflow applies to timecard approvals. No more approval chains buried in email.
Here’s what a project looks like in Aldoa:
Every step is visible. No shared drive scavenger hunts.
Replacing legacy systems is intimidating.
Aldoa provides:
Many competitors charge $10,000–$30,000 setup fees. Aldoa does not. The platform is cloud-hosted on AWS. Customers own their data and can export via CSV if needed. The onboarding team is U.S.-based and accessible throughout rollout.
Bentley gINT is no longer supported. Spreadsheet stacks are breaking under growth. Legacy systems create “death by a thousand clicks.”
CMT firms are choosing modern platforms not because they want change — but because operational bottlenecks are limiting growth.
Aldoa replaces the chaos with clarity.
Aldoa isn’t just another software — it’s a dedicated Construction Materials Testing management platform designed to unify every part of your workflow.
Labs using Aldoa report:
The best software for construction materials testing firms in 2026 is not just a better reporting tool.
It is a single source of truth from dispatch to final deliverable.
Aldoa eliminates the disconnected stack, reduces backlogs, improves data quality, and provides real-time operational visibility across field and lab teams.
If you are evaluating a replacement for spreadsheets, Access databases, gINT, or other legacy systems, now is the time to modernize.
