Run digital walkdowns, anywhere
Conduct P&ID walkdowns on a tablet — standalone or protocol-linked — with live access to the records they support. Skip the printed diagrams and highlighters and eliminate the transcription errors that come with them.
Collaborate in real time
Mark up and annotate drawings directly in-app. Engineering, QA, validation, and contractors can review the same drawing simultaneously — no more conflicting paper copies or sequential sign-off.
Convert and control every drawing
CAD, DWG, and DGN files convert automatically to browser-viewable PDFs — no CAD license required for reviewers. Every drawing keeps a full, searchable revision history, so teams always know which version is current.
Stay audit-ready, automatically
21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 compliant e-signatures, access controls, and audit trails are built in — with scheduled periodic reviews, so drawings never go stale between audits.

Challenges
Keeping drawings accurate — and provable
Drawing management means validating design accuracy, maintaining version control, and proving that the drawing behind a validated system is the one that was actually approved — while keeping pace with evolving operational and regulatory demands.
Other common challenges include:
- Paper-based P&ID walkdowns that create transcription errors and lost redlines
- Uncontrolled copies circulating across CAD tools, shared drives, and email
- Proving to auditors which version was in effect at the time of use
- Managing the transition from paper to digital without disrupting active projects
