Workspace has been designed to deal with the complexities that managing drawings brings. Depending upon your place in the supply chain you will have different requirements.
Authoring
For those customers that author drawings (predominantly Architects and Engineers) Workspace has features to support the management of a drawing register. A schedule of drawings can be planned and place holders created in anticipation of drawings becoming available for issue. Typically replacing a spreadsheet the drawing register provides powerful reporting and filtering facilities that enable issuables to be sorted and filtered. Once available the drawing register links seamlessly with the issuing process that is shared with the rest of the system.
Distribution
Almost all members of the construction industry supply chain have responsibility to control and distribute documents (predominantly drawings). This can represent a significant overhead for your business and a substantial part of project administration. Workspace not only manages your documents, the document issuing module allows you to automate their control and distribution. So whether you are an architect, engineer, main contractor or a specialist subcontractor Workspace will support your processes for issuing or receiving controlled documents.
