Complete document control for engineering projects. PaperTrail keeps every drawing and specification at its latest revision, accessible to the whole team.
The PaperTrail solution
Complete document control for all projects
The problem. On a project, the wrong drawing revision can cost weeks. When CAD files, PDFs and transmittals sit in different places, teams build from old versions.

- Manage all aspects of project management, ensuring that the project team always has access to the latest revision of documentation.
- PaperTrail manages both the source engineering cad files together with the associated PDF file. Transmittal tools are available directly from within PaperTrail.
- PaperTrail powerful indexing caters for all metadata associated with drawing files.
- Document controllers benefit from automated document numbering from the metadata together with efficient searching and reporting capabilities.
What changes
- 01 Always the latest revision. The whole project team works from current documentation.
- 02 CAD and PDF together. Source CAD files are managed with their PDFs, with transmittals sent from inside PaperTrail.
- 03 Find any drawing fast. Indexing covers all drawing metadata, with automatic document numbering for document controllers.

In 2000 I needed a solution which would enable me to manage my drawings which were at the time being scanned into PDF format. […] at the time we had around 100,000 drawings. […] I’ve been dealing with them since then and have never felt the need to look elsewhere for a replacement.
