Aldoa
Modern, cloud-based operating system for construction materials testing (CMT) and geotechnical engineering firms -- streamlines field data collection (mobile forms, digital site maps, speech-to-text), lab management LIMS (sample tracking, test results, automated calculations and graphs), technical report generation (auto-generated from approved field/lab data, industry-standard templates), and project/financial management (scheduling, time tracking, invoicing); built for CMT, geotechnical, special inspections, concrete testing, and environmental firms; 30,000+ projects powered, trusted by over 100 firms nationwide.
Solid -- a modern, cloud-native CMT/geotechnical LIMS and business-management platform with genuine AI features (Aldoa AI for report generation, speech-to-text field data), fast guided onboarding (weeks), and a clear firm-size fit for solo-to-growing firms (100+ firms, 30,000+ projects); but quote/demo-only pricing (RF1) and no visible public API/CLI (RF2) limit self-serve evaluation and agent-driven workflows, and the narrow CMT/geotechnical scope fits only materials-testing firms.
