Engineering Document Management System for Design & EPC Firms

Document Ocean 360 is a dedicated EDMS for engineering firms that need precise control over drawing revisions, multi-discipline approval workflows, and client transmittals — without the overhead of a full project management platform.

Engineering Firms Produce Thousands of Controlled Documents

For an engineering firm — particularly within EPC projects — document control isn't just about storage. It's about managing revision states across civil, mechanical, electrical, and process disciplines. Every drawing moves through formal stage gates: IFR (Issued for Review), IFC (Issued for Construction), AFC (Approved for Construction). Lose control of these codes, and confusion starts from the wrong revision.

General EDMS platforms don't speak this language. They lack native revision schemes, multi-discipline review routing, and the ability to enforce transmittal discipline between engineering and procurement. Document Ocean 360 was engineered for this: a purpose-built EDMS that understands revision codes, cross-discipline approval workflows, and the precise terminology EPC teams rely on.

How Document Ocean 360 Works as an EDMS for Engineering Firms

Engineering Drawing Register

Maintain a live drawing register with full revision history across all disciplines. Supersede, re-issue, and track drawing status in real time. Every revision is archived with author, date, revision code, and associated approval record.

How to Manage Drawing Revisions at Scale

Each revision is tracked with revision code (A, B, C or 01, 02, 03), issued-for status (IFR, IFC, IFT, AFC), change description, and approver. Superseded versions are archived automatically — never deleted, always accessible for audit and dispute resolution.

Multi-Discipline Document Approval Workflows

Configure approval workflows by discipline, review stage, or project phase. Assign reviewers per document type, set sequential or parallel review paths, and track every comment and decision with a permanent audit trail.

Engineering Transmittal & Document Issue Management

Issue transmittals to clients, contractors, and subcontractors with automatic numbering, cover sheet generation, and receipt confirmation. Every transmittal is permanently logged with issue date, document list, and response status.

Document Numbering & Metadata Standards

Apply consistent document numbering conventions across all project documents — project codes, discipline prefixes, document type codes, and sequential counters. Custom metadata schemas per document type ensure every field your engineers need is captured and searchable.

Built for Every Role in an Engineering Document Control Team

Document Controllers

Manage the full document register, control revision cycles, process transmittals, and maintain the audit trail — all from a single dashboard built for how engineering document controllers actually work.

Design Engineers

Access current drawings, specifications, and models, submit and track technical queries (TQs/RFIs), and monitor review status without chasing approvals through email.

Engineering Managers

Full visibility into drawing register status, outstanding approvals, client transmittal log across all engineering disciplines — in real time.
