When you’re running a business like Texas Stress, an industrial heat treatment company based in Houston with locations in Beaumont and Corpus Christi, you don’t have time to waste on clunky processes. The team at Texas Stress—led by Cy Rankin, their Director of Business Operations—is all about getting things done efficiently and safely. They’re in the business of treating metals to stand up to the toughest conditions, helping industries like petrochemical and manufacturing get parts that are as strong and durable as they need to be.
But let’s be real—managing all the documentation, training records, and safety protocols by hand was a hassle. Cy was spending way too much time keeping track of records across different systems, and it was hard to make sure everyone was on the same page. The team needed a way to simplify things, so they could focus on what they do best: delivering quality work.
Saving Time with TQA Cloud
Once TQA Cloud came into the picture, things started to run a whole lot smoother. Instead of wasting time digging around for the latest version of a document or updating training records in multiple places, Texas Stress could now handle everything in one place. The document control features meant that anyone on the team could pull up exactly what they needed, exactly when they needed it. No more delays, no more confusion—just straightforward access to the info that keeps everything moving.
Safety Compliance Made Simple
In heat treatment, safety is non-negotiable. With temperatures running high and specialized equipment in play, Cy’s team needed a way to keep track of safety risks and make sure they were on top of compliance. TQA Cloud’s risk management tools helped them do just that. Now, they’ve got an easy way to document safety protocols, track corrective actions, and keep a record of any safety issues that come up. It’s been a game-changer for building a safer, more efficient work environment.
Training and Competency—No More Guesswork
For a company like Texas Stress, where employees need to stay sharp and up-to-date on training, TQA Cloud’s centralized training records have been a huge relief. Instead of scrambling to figure out who’s had which training or whether everyone is meeting the latest standards, Cy’s team can track everything in one place. With TQA Cloud, they can see exactly what training each employee has completed and what’s still needed—so they’re confident that everyone’s equipped to do the job right.
