American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) struggled to manage budgets across four entities and 16 departments using a spreadsheet-heavy process that was difficult to maintain, with constant version control challenges and high risk of errors. Staff frequently spent valuable time on “data scavenger hunts” just to find the financial information they needed.
With Martus, ASNT saved 10+ hours per month while making the process faster, less stressful, and more effective by helping department heads easily access and review financials and align their budgets with organizational goals.
ASNT is the world’s largest technical society for nondestructive testing (NDT) professionals, serving more than 13,000 members across 175+ countries for over 80 years. The organization advances the NDT profession through international standards, certification programs, industry innovation, research, and global professional support.
ASNT included four entities, 16 departments, and hundreds of annual projects. Before Martus, ASNT’s budgeting process was heavily dependent on spreadsheets that were difficult to maintain, time-consuming to update, and prone to version control issues. Staff often spent valuable time searching for financial information across multiple files and systems, while department heads struggled to easily review and understand their budgets within the organization’s accounting software.

They needed a more efficient and scalable approach to budgeting and financial reporting. After years of relying on disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes, the organization sought a solution that would improve financial visibility, empower department leaders, and reduce the administrative burden on staff.
Martus gave ASNT a centralized, collaborative budgeting solution that simplified financial planning and made reporting more accessible across departments. Features like dashboard reporting, personnel budgeting, and special purpose worksheets enabled department heads to track line items across multiple budgets with greater clarity and confidence. Martus’s user-friendly design made adoption easy for non-finance staff, while seamless integration with existing systems like Sage Intacct and their responsive customer support helped ASNT implement the solution quickly and efficiently.
With Martus, ASNT transformed budgeting from a reactive, spreadsheet-driven process into a streamlined system that supports faster decisions and greater organizational alignment. Department heads now have direct access to intuitive financial reporting tools, allowing them to better understand performance, manage budgets proactively, and participate more confidently in financial planning. The organization saves up to 10 hours each month, while budgeting cycles have become faster, less stressful, and significantly more collaborative. Most importantly, Martus has given ASNT greater financial clarity and operational efficiency, enabling the organization to focus less on managing spreadsheets and more on advancing its mission.
