SAM™ (Surface Asset Management™) is a digital platform that helps organizations monitor, manage, and optimize their assets throughout their lifecycle. It brings together all your asset information in one place, enabling faster, data-driven decisions that improve performance, reliability, and sustainability.

SAM™ is built for organizations that rely on complex or high-value assets — such as those in manufacturing, energy, transport, and real estate — and need a clearer picture of how those assets are performing and where value can be improved.

SAM™ eliminates the need for spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual reporting by creating a single, accurate view of your asset portfolio. It helps teams:

• Detect performance or maintenance issues early
• Optimize investment and renewal strategies
• Track compliance and lifecycle costs
• Understand how assets are performing across sites and portfolios

SAM™ connects seamlessly with most existing ERP, CMMS, and IoT systems using secure APIs and data connectors. This ensures you can view up-to-date asset information without changing your core workflows or data sources.

SAM™ is delivered as a secure, cloud-based platform accessible from any browser. For organizations with specific IT or security policies, on-premise and hybrid deployment options are also available.

Security and privacy are central to SAM™. The platform complies with ISO 27001 standards, uses encryption for data in transit and at rest, supports role-based access, and maintains full audit trails to meet compliance and governance requirements.

SAM™ delivers clear, real-time information on:

• Asset condition and performance
• Risk exposure and lifecycle cost
• Maintenance and renewal priorities
• Energy use and environmental impact

These metrics help you focus resources where they’ll have the most impact.

Absolutely. SAM™ can be configured to match your data structure, reporting requirements, and key performance indicators. It also supports custom dashboards, workflows, and branding to reflect your organization’s priorities.

Surface provides hands-on onboarding, user training, and ongoing technical support. Clients also have access to knowledge articles, video tutorials, and a dedicated account team to ensure long-term success with SAM™.

SAM™ supports NDT by digitising inspection workflows, storing results, and generating actionable insights for maintenance and compliance.

NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testing and is used by industries such as oil & gas, energy, and manufacturing to inspect materials without damaging them.

Yes, SAM™ is designed to be flexible and integrates into a wide range of operations and business systems for NDT support.

SAM™ reduces paperwork, ensures compliance, and improves inspection traceability across NDT and welding processes.

SAM™ provides detailed weld maps, defect logging, and automated reporting for thorough inspection documentation.

SAM™ has evolved based on industry demand and now supports comprehensive weld inspections as part of a unified inspection platform.

Enhanced quality control, digital traceability, and easier audit readiness are key benefits of SAM™ in weld inspection.
