FAST REPORTS. FASTER RESULTS.
NOVA utilizes several systems for reporting including ForneyVault and Agile Frameworks MetaField, allowing for easy access and electronic distribution.
NOVA Services is the only engineering firm in San Diego County to utilize ForneyVault as part of its concrete testing process. ForneyVault is a unique computerized system that closes the loop between sample creation, testing, data collection, dissemination, and use. The data flows seamlessly through the process, reducing the risk of errors and increasing test accuracy and compliance. The material testing data is collected in a secure, unalterable format. Each test is protected and data is organized in a cloud-based structured database according to unique GUID codes. This insures compliance with material testing standards and secures the results via reporting that can be traced and audited.
Agile Frameworks MetaField system allows for easy access and electronic distribution.
