Increased efficiency
Reduce search and processing time for technical documents.
Technical departments
Drawings, specifications, manuals and inspection reports in one searchable place. Give engineers and field teams the current revision, and keep every change on record.
Revision control. Standards compliance. Role-based access.
FROM DRAWING BOARD TO SITE
Follow a technical drawing through Constellio: indexed on arrival, reviewed with markups, approved as a new revision and opened on site without any doubt about which version it is.
Drawings, specifications and manuals are indexed with their metadata (number, project, discipline, equipment tag) so the search engine built for technical departments can find them in seconds.
Reviewers annotate the same file and discuss each markup in context. Nothing is lost in an email thread, and every comment is traced.
Approving revision C supersedes revisions A and B automatically. They remain in the history for compliance, but no one can mistake them for the current version.
Technicians search by equipment tag from a tablet and open the approved revision. Access follows their role, and the documents they need can be available offline.

HOW IT WORKS
Technical documents come from engineers, contractors and suppliers in many formats. Constellio indexes them, controls their revisions and makes the current one easy to find for anyone authorised.
ACROSS YOUR TECHNICAL TEAMS
Engineering, maintenance and quality work from the same documents, each with the access their role requires.

Index drawings and specifications with their metadata, and search them by equipment tag, project or discipline.

Share markups and comments on the same file, and keep the review history with the revision it produced.

Give field teams the approved drawings and manuals for the equipment in front of them, with access that follows their role.

Track procedures, certificates and inspection reports, with the history and controls auditors expect.

QUESTIONS
What engineering and maintenance leaders usually ask before a demo. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

Yes. Constellio stores CAD files alongside their PDF renderings and other formats, with metadata such as drawing number, project, discipline and equipment tag. Viewing and editing still happen in your CAD tools.
Revisions follow a controlled workflow. When a new revision is approved, previous ones are superseded automatically: they remain in the history for compliance, but only the current revision is served by default.
Yes. Authorised technicians can search by equipment tag and open the current revision from a tablet or laptop, with access that follows their role. Offline availability is defined during the project’s technical scoping.
Constellio provides the tracking and control features that support compliance: versions, approvals, traced activity and retention rules. Your organisation defines which standards apply and how they are evidenced.
Most technical departments start with one project or one class of documents, such as drawings for a site. Constellio’s migration, governance and support teams can help plan a phased deployment.
