PaperTrail brings your engineering projects, documentation, and team collaboration into one powerful dashboard - with full version control and audit trails across every project.

Engineering projects involve complex interdependencies between design, procurement, manufacturing, and commissioning. When documentation is scattered across network drives and email inboxes, the wrong revision gets sent to the shop floor and change requests get lost.
PaperTrail gives engineering teams a single source of truth for every project - drawings, specifications, change requests, and quality records all managed with automatic version control and full audit trails.
Centralise all project documentation, technical drawings, and specifications in one system. Every team member has access to the latest versions, with full audit trails showing who changed what and when.
When a drawing is revised, everyone who needs to know is notified automatically, and the previous version is archived - not deleted.
Break down silos between design, manufacturing, and field teams. Everyone works from the same source of truth, reducing errors and rework.
External collaborators - clients, subcontractors, and consultants - can be given controlled access to the documents they need, without seeing everything else.

PaperTrail understands the complexity of engineering projects. From design through manufacture to commissioning, keep every detail tracked.
Upload and manage technical drawings with automatic version control. Mark up revisions, track approvals, and ensure the shop floor always has the latest version. Support for all common CAD file formats.
Manage engineering change requests with structured workflows. Track the impact on cost, schedule, and other deliverables. Get sign-offs from all affected parties and maintain a full history of every design change.
Set milestones, track deliverables, and get a clear view of project progress across all your active projects. Automated alerts ensure nothing falls behind schedule and stakeholders stay informed.
Collect and manage supplier certificates, test reports, and material data sheets. Link them to the right project and never chase a cert again. Automated expiry alerts flag documents before they lapse.
Capture inspection reports, non-conformance records, and corrective actions in one system. Build a quality history that supports ISO certification and gives clients confidence in your processes.
Automatically compile handover documentation from your project data. O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and test certificates - generated in one click, fully compliant with client and regulatory requirements.
PaperTrail's version control ensures everyone always accesses the current version, with automatic notifications when new revisions are issued and old versions clearly marked as superseded.
PaperTrail routes ECRs through a structured approval workflow with deadline reminders, ensuring every change is reviewed, approved, and implemented on schedule.
