Ensuring Every Document Exchange is Secure, Auditable, and Traceable
Standardizing transmittal management across large engineering projects
"We now have a simple, secure, and standardized way to generate and transfer transmittals—every package is trackable, every decision is traceable.”
Customer Profile
A firm operating in Abu Dhabi’s energy and industrial sectors, delivering engineering, operations, and project services across Aviation, Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Oil & Gas, Renewables, Water, Power, and Manufacturing. Their projects are large, multi-disciplinary, and involve multiple stakeholders — making document control mission-critical.
Business Challenge
Projects involve transferring drawings, specifications, calculations, and other technical documents for review, comment, or approval. These document exchanges (transmittals) are official business records that influence contractual decisions and liability..
Without a controlled and auditable transmittal process:
- Confusion over which version was sent, when, and to whom
- Difficulty tracking approvals, comments, and returns
- No unified view of third-party involvement or decision trail
- Project delays, escalated risks, and weakened accountability
Lack of central repository for accessing quality documents such as forms and templates that were used by the project team.
