Engineering document control platform
RETRO.DCS is a multi-tenant, enterprise-grade platform engineered for the full lifecycle of project documentation. It replaces shared drives, scattered email transmittals, and disconnected trackers with a structured cloud workspace where Client, PMC, EPCC, and Contractor teams collaborate on a single source of truth - from first submission to final, signed archive.
Structured Document Register
Organise drawings, specifications, calculations, and procedures within a hierarchical register classified by category, discipline, and document type.
Revisions & Annotation History
Track every revision with locked PDF annotations, complete comment history, and a clear active-version pointer for every team.
Review & Approval Workflows
Drive documents through parallel SME reviews, PMC consolidation, and configurable parallel or sequential approval rounds with full auditability.
Engineering document lifecycle visibility
Document lifecycle
Move documents through a defined workflow - submission, review, consolidation, approval, completion, and archive.
Revision control
Maintain a complete revision lineage with immutable annotations and a single active revision per document.
Project phase continuity
Carry context, comments, and approval decisions forward across design, review, execution, and final handover.
Operational benefits
One Platform. Complete Document Control
Unify documents, reviews, and approvals in one secure, tenant-isolated cloud workspace.
Adaptable to Your Business
Tenant-configurable roles, categories, and approval modes match how your organisation actually runs its projects.
Improve Compliance & Governance
Enforce structured reviews, approval rounds, and immutable audit trails on every document and revision.
Increase Efficiency
Replace email-driven transmittals with automated, notification-led workflows that cut cycle time.
Document workflow management
Documents move through a fixed, multi-stage workflow built for EPC review cycles, where SME reviews, consolidation, and multi-party approvals are captured under one controlled, audit-ready process.
Document Submission
Register the document, attach the working PDF and transmittal reference, and assign reviewers across SME parties in one step.
Review and Validation
SMEs review in parallel, marking comments directly on the PDF with annotations, threaded replies, and supporting attachments - all captured against the revision.
Consolidation & Versioning
PMC consolidates reviewer findings, deduplicates comments, assigns the final review code, and locks the revision history before approval.
Approval and Release
Route to configured approval parties in parallel or sequential mode, then close with a final transmittal and signed PDF for archive.
Engineering document architecture
RETRO.DCS is built on a multi-tenant cloud architecture that connects folders, documents, revisions, reviews, approvals, and audit trails across every phase of the engineering project lifecycle.
Control engineering documentation
Streamline reviews, lock revisions, and control collaboration across every project stakeholder - from kickoff through final, archived handover.
