Services
Cloud Document Management
Our cloud document management system provides secure storage and organization for engineering files. Teams can access CAD drawings, project documentation, and technical specifications from any location while maintaining data integrity. The platform supports version tracking, access controls, and audit trails to ensure proper file management.
Kenesto Drive Integration
This feature creates a mapped network drive that syncs with cloud documents in real time. Engineers can work with CAD applications directly on cloud files as if they were stored locally. The system maintains current versions across all users while preventing file overwriting through exclusive editing controls.
Version Control
Our version control system automatically tracks document changes and maintains complete revision history. Users can compare versions, restore previous iterations, or set versioning policies. This ensures teams always work with the most current files while preserving all development stages for audit purposes.
Workflow Automation
This tool enables creation and management of engineering workflows through visual process mapping. Teams can design custom approval processes, document routing systems, and task automation workflows. The system maintains audit trails and provides status tracking for all active processes.
Document Vaulting
Our document vaulting feature provides check-in/check-out functionality for controlled file access. When enabled, users must check out files before editing, preventing conflicts while allowing read-only access to others. This maintains document integrity during collaborative engineering projects.
