Catch over and under-tightening before the inspector does, eliminate doc control and QC headcount on every building, and walk into the next bid with the best commissioning record on the campus.
Your crews know the work. The guys with twenty years on the gun know exactly what 1,400 ft-lbs feels like. But the paper trail behind that work hasn’t changed: hand-filled torque sheets, clipboard sign-offs, a doc control person typing it all in after the fact. Inspectors flag rework you could have caught at the bolt. Commissioning hits insulation resistance test failures that should have been verified during installation. Your QA package is only as good as the last sub’s binder, and the third-party torque witness invoice keeps growing on every major program.
Cumulus isn’t asking you to change how you work. It’s proof of how well you already work, with data instead of clipboards.

Rework caught at inspection, not at the bolt
Over and under-tightening doesn't show up until the inspector or the commissioning agent finds it. By then the cost to fix is roughly 10x what it would have been during installation. Every rework hour is margin walking off the job.
New hires slowing the crew until they've been mentored for weeks
With the skilled labor shortage, this is a permanent condition, not a temporary one. Your senior foremen are mentoring instead of installing. The crew rate suffers and the schedule suffers with it.
Failed commissioning inspections that delay RFS and damage the owner relationship
A missed IR test or an incomplete torque record discovered at commissioning doesn't just delay RFS. It changes how the hyperscale owner thinks about your shop on the next bid.
QA documentation that's inconsistent and hard to defend
A connection gets questioned six months in. Your evidence is a hand-filled torque log from a foreman who is now on another job. That's a defensive position you don't want to be in.
Third-party torque witness invoices on every major program
A line item that can reach millions on major programs. Someone watching your crew work and writing it down by hand is a cost you wear because the data wasn't captured the first time.
Your crews aren’t the problem. They’re doing the work right. The gap is between how the work is executed and how it’s documented. Paper checklists, end-of-shift signatures, doc control catching up days later. The data you submit at turnover is reconstructed, not captured. That’s not a craft problem. That’s a structural problem with how the industry has always documented the work.
Cumulus closes that gap by capturing execution data automatically at the moment of work, directly from the torque guns and megger testers your crews already use. The bolt turns green when it hits spec. The IR test result is recorded the second the megger reads it. Every connection, every test, captured in real time, by the worker, on the tool they’re already holding.
The 20-year veteran and the new hire follow the same workflow from day one. Institutional knowledge stops walking out at retirement.
Guided workflows on the tool. Real-time data on the dashboard. Defensible records at turnover.
Cumulus integrates directly with the tools your crews already use, including torque guns, megger testers, and pressure gauges. Workers follow guided workflows on a tablet. The tool captures the data automatically. Every record is timestamped, tool-linked, and GPS-tagged the moment the work is done.
Connected torque tools and megger tests capture the value at the moment of execution. The bolt turns green when it hits spec. Under-tightening, over-tightening, and missed connections are caught at the bolt, not at the inspection.
New hires follow the same guided workflow as your 20-year veterans from day one. Compliance is enforced by the platform, not by mentorship. Crews ramp faster and run more consistently across every project.
Every connection, every test, every signature, timestamped and traceable. Your closeout package becomes the proof of how well your shop runs. When the hyperscale owner asks why your commissioning pass rate is the best on the campus, the data is the answer.
Protect the margin. Run a faster crew. Win the next contract.

Cumulus was originally developed inside Shell’s mission-critical infrastructure program, built to solve the documentation and verification gap on projects where a single bad connection could cost lives and hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, that same platform is in use across hyperscale data center programs at scale, and on equipment where Cumulus is used, zero arc flash incidents have been recorded.
Cumulus integrates with project management and documentation systems through a flexible API.
Most users are up and running in under an hour, with full onboarding support provided.
Cumulus is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and uses industry-standard encryption and security protocols.
