Technology and products

ForneyVault

ForneyVault is a cloud-based "integrated construction materials testing platform"^[2] "that automates how data moves through the [construction material testing] workflow."^[3] The platform includes a front-end laboratory information management system (LIMS) interface called ForneyTools for those who don't have a LIMS to integrate ForneyVault to.^[4] However, little is said about ForneyTools on the main website, though some information can be gleaned from the Help Center.^[5] ForneyVault also includes the ForneyField tool, which functions as "a mobile app allowing concrete field technicians to capture site and sample data from the field to the lab and beyond."^[2]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
