Biggest Software Update in Company History Announced

IndySoft, a leader in calibration and asset management software, have just announced a new release of its software, IndySoft Version 12. IndySoft’s latest release takes the best-in-class software and makes it even better with over 200 new features and enhancements; the largest update in the company’s 20-year history.

“We are very excited about the updates in Version 12 because they all came about as direct requests from our customer base,” noted Chief Technology Officer, Rhett Price. “This release is all about the implementation of features that will solve the problems that our customers brought to us.”

One such problem was syncing data back to the lab when a calibration technician did off-site field work where internet access was not available. IndySoft came up with an elegant solution where a starter database is created once a week that includes off-site workflows, security settings, masters and historical data, equipment templates and charges, and calibration procedures. Prior to heading out to do their field work the technician selects the companies that they will be visiting, and the starter database, equipment, history and work orders are all downloaded onto the technician’s device. During the week the technician would perform their calibrations as normal, enter the data into IndySoft, then once their computer detects that they are connected to the internet again their results are pushed back to the lab, and lab updates such as calibration procedure or master modifications automatically are sent to the field technician.

From test points, to events, to customer information, there are over 60 new fields that allow for complete customisation. The user is able to determine which fields are hidden or visible, so the user experience is tailored to every individual customer’s requirements.

Version 12 introduces IndySoft Spreadsheet, an Excel clone, into the software. It allows users to work natively with the popular spreadsheet document file environment without using any external spreadsheet software. It works with .xlsx, .xls, .csv and .txt files, so most calibration results already written in Excel can be performed with IndySoft Spreadsheet.

“ISO/IEC 17025 compliance is critical to IndySoft customers. so we received a good deal of feedback from our customers requesting making revision status and change tracking easier to manage. As a result, we added automated revision control to our certificates and a version control system that tracks changes, documents, and allows roll-back to prior versions for all customisable areas of the software,” remarked Price.

IndySoft has long been a leader in the calibration management software sector. With the introduction of Version 12, IndySoft further offers commercial calibration companies and enterprise customers performing internal calibrations innovative solutions to solve their problems, improve their processes and create efficiencies while providing the required documentation to ensure compliance with their particular industry’s standards.
