Introduction to Document Ocean 360

Discover how Document Ocean 360 brings order to document control across engineering and construction projects — from submittals and transmittals to drawings and correspondence.

Engineering and construction projects generate thousands of documents — drawings, submittals, transmittals, RFIs, meeting minutes, and more. Without a dedicated system, teams drown in version confusion, missed deadlines, and audit gaps.

Document Ocean 360 is a purpose-built document control platform that gives your entire project team a single source of truth. Whether you’re an owner, EPC contractor, or consultant, every document is tracked, every revision is logged, and every workflow is transparent.

Who is it for?

Document Ocean 360 is designed for professionals who manage or participate in document-heavy engineering and construction projects:

  • Document controllers who need airtight revision tracking and transmittal workflows
  • Project managers who need visibility into submittal status and team workloads
  • Engineers & Designers who need to find the latest approved drawing — fast
  • Quality & Compliance teams who need a full audit trail for every document action
  • Clients & Stakeholders who need read-only dashboards and automatic notifications

Built for the industry

Unlike generic file-sharing tools, Document Ocean 360 speaks the language of EPC projects. Native support for discipline codes, document numbering conventions, transmittal cover sheets, and approval workflows means you spend less time configuring and more time delivering.
