// about
Modern software for the people who keep the grid tested.
UltraDb is built by Verlecta for NETA electrical-testing shops - the technicians and engineers who acceptance-test and maintain the transformers, switchgear, cables, and protection that the rest of us never think about.
The problem we set out to fix
Electrical testing runs on software that hasn't meaningfully changed in twenty years - a Windows desktop tool, a fiddly form designer locked behind the most expensive license tier, and a sync system that assumes you're sitting at a desk. Meanwhile the actual work happens in substations and underground vaults with no signal, on a phone or a tablet, against standards that get revised on a schedule.
UltraDb flips that. Form authoring is free on every plan. The whole app works offline and syncs when you reconnect. Forms are structured to the current published specification, with the section citation and the acceptance value right where the tech is working. And the sealed, customer-ready report comes out the same day - because real-time delivery of customer-ready paperwork is the entire point.
Legacy desktop tool
- Windows desktop, one seat per license
- Form designer behind the top license tier
- Sync built for a desk, not a vault
UltraDb in the field
- Phone or tablet, offline by design
- Form authoring free on every plan
- Sealed report the same day
How we build the form library
UltraDb's forms are authored from the published standards the industry already buys and tests to - the ANSI/NETA acceptance and maintenance specifications and the underlying ASTM and IEEE test methods - with documented provenance for every form and field-by-field values checked against the edition cited on the form. Where no published section covers the work, our UltraDb Original forms are built on the standards that govern the equipment, each one named on the form. We track every revision of the standards behind the library - see the Standards watch on the homepage. We name those standards to describe what our forms follow; we don't claim any affiliation or endorsement we haven't earned. When a content license or partnership is in place, we'll say so explicitly.
How a value gets onto a form
Published standard
The section the industry already tests to, cited by edition.
Form field
The acceptance value sits beside the entry, where the tech is working.
Public reference
Where a free United States government document describes the same practice, its passage sits under the field's help, word for word with its date. Nothing is graded by it.
Sealed report
Customer-ready paperwork, the same day the test is run.

Where we are
UltraDb is in open beta and live in the field today. We are working toward a public launch with a design partner program: testing firms that run it on live work before launch, on a multi-year license, and help decide what ships. If you run a testing shop and want modern tooling, or just want to stop waiting on a desktop license to edit a form, we would like to hear from you.
