Knowledge Management
Unlock the value in your historic designs with AI-powered cataloguing and semantic retrieval. Turn past projects into competitive advantage.
Is your design knowledge trapped in disconnected archives?
Engineering and design firms hold years of valuable intellectual property in historic reports, drawings, and specifications. But tight margins and busy teams mean there's never time to organise this knowledge properly. Design re-use opportunities are missed, wheels get reinvented, and competitors with better-organised data are gaining ground.

Custom Information Labelling
Develop classification taxonomies tailored to your practice areas and project types. Define the metadata that matters for design discovery - building typology, structural system, material specifications, regulatory context - and apply it consistently across your archive.
Multi-Source Cataloguing
Crawl and index documents across SharePoint, Autodesk Docs, and other storage locations without moving files between systems. Maintain your existing folder structures while building a unified, searchable catalogue across all sources.
Staged Rollout Strategy
Prioritise which historic projects to catalogue based on your current pipeline and bid opportunities. Work through your archive incrementally and in the background, allowing team members to support cataloguing efforts around fee-earning commitments.
Design Discovery & Re-use
Search your entire design history using natural language queries. Find relevant precedents by project type, technical challenge, or specification requirement. Surface re-usable details and calculations that accelerate new project delivery.
What this achieves
Beyond direct efficiency gains, a well-catalogued design archive becomes a strategic asset. Win more work by demonstrating relevant experience. Onboard new staff faster with accessible precedents. And explore new revenue streams - from data licensing partnerships to AI-enhanced service offerings that keep you ahead of the competition.
