HOW MUCH TIME CAN YOU SAVE
ON WELDING DOCUMENTATION?
The short answer: More than you think.
WE’VE DEVELOPED THIS
CALCULATOR JUST FOR YOU
We developed this calculator for those who may be considering whether it’s worth moving away from manual Excel sheets, binders, and PDFs.
You’ve probably landed here because you’re curious about digital welding logs—perhaps to see whether there’s a smarter way to do things. And that makes perfect sense: if everything already worked flawlessly in your current setup, you probably wouldn’t need to look for alternatives.
So take a minute, try the calculator—and see if your gut feeling was right:
There’s time to be saved. A lot, in fact.
Time Savings Calculator
Calculate how much time you can save with digital welding documentation
The time savings you see here are based on our experience with welding documentation and feedback from customers across different industries.
For each industry, we’ve accounted for differences in how much time is typically saved during production, and how much is saved when the final documentation is compiled.

You potential savings
?How we calculate the time savings: In our calculator, we estimate a 50% reduction of today’s unproductive time – the hours spent on manual processes, correcting errors, and compiling final documentation. However, many of our customers experience savings of up to 75% of the time spent on handling documentation for each individual weld point. Our estimate is therefore deliberately conservative, which means you can expect at least this level of time savings – and quite often even more.

Do you recognize these challenges from your current workflow?
Repeated data entry
The same data is entered multiple times in different systems and documents, creating duplicate work, increasing the risk of errors—and significantly extending the time spent.
Traceability errors
Manual processes and typing errors make it difficult to ensure full traceability from material certificates and welding to the final report, which can cause issues during inspections and approvals.
Lack of overview along the way
Status is only discovered late in the project because the documentation isn’t compiled continuously. That makes it hard to spot gaps in time, delays handover—and postpones invoicing, which impacts cash flow.
Lack of real-time overview
In projects with manual documentation, even a simple status requires countless emails, calls, and meetings. This delays decisions and creates uncertainty about progress.
WITH SOCWELD, EVERYTHING GOES DIGITAL
Version-controlled and validated in real time—so you avoid duplicate work and errors, and instead get documentation that just works.
Automatic recording
All welds, materials, and WPSs are recorded automatically along the way.
Real-time updates
Status is always up to date and available to the entire project team.
Instant reporting
Complete final reports are generated with one click.
Full traceability
Eliminates the risk of missing documentation.
