DOCUMENT CONTROL FOR Pump & Compressor Manufacturers

The databook is the deliverable. The submittal cycle is the work.

Pumps, compressors, VFDs, and drives carry long submittal and resubmittal cycles before final databooks release payment. DocBoss runs that cycle in your customer’s required formats, tracking every return and compiling final books from documents tracked all along.

Built for rotating equipment and drives on project work

Rotating equipment and drive orders carry complex sub-supplier document loads and strict customer submission requirements. Because document sets are engineered per order, DocBoss automates the tracking, expediting, and multi-book compilations that follow.

DocBoss hands back
Books sliced off one structure

One per train, one per pump, one per order: the split is a setting, not a rebuild, and each book carries its table of contents.

The pump is a tag. So are its components.

A pump, compressor or drive is rarely one document set: the motor, the seals, the instruments mounted with it each carry documents of their own.

Equipment can be brought in two tiers, the machine as the major tag and its components tagged beneath it, so each document attaches at the right tier, cover pages and the SDI carry the right tag, and the book can be sliced per machine with everything that belongs to it inside.

Expediting runs in both directions

Your sub-suppliers owe you documents; your customers owe you returns.

DocBoss tracks the due date out and the expected date back separately, and expedite reports are generated on demand across the projects and parties you select, previewed with their email before anything sends.

Standing reports run on their own: overdue documents, status changes, submittals the customer has not downloaded, so the reminder goes out while it still matters.

The MRB, the quality book, the dispatch book: built, not gathered

Different customers require different closeout deliverables—MRBs, quality dossiers, dispatch books, or inspection logs. DocBoss defines each deliverable by document code from a single tracked set, assembling final books from approved files rather than manual folder hunting.

  • Generate complete TOCs at kickoff with real document numbers and tags before files exist.
  • Restructure or reslice books by changing a single setting without rebuilding the package.

Cover sheets that run to several pages, correct on every document

Customers often specify multi-page cover sheets, separating revision histories, equipment lists, and document data, and every page must be correct on every issue.

Because DocBoss links documents directly to equipment, this data is inherited automatically rather than typed per file. For spreadsheet deliverables like the SDI, cover pages can embed directly as a worksheet within the file.

Questions pump, compressor, and drive manufacturers ask

Answers to common questions about managing submittals, VDRLs, and databooks for rotating equipment packages.

Still have questions?

Our customer wants the whole SDI back on a schedule, showing what moved.

The SDI is generated from the live document list in the customer’s layout, on demand or on the schedule they set, with the full submittal history behind every line: dates, submittal references, and calculated columns such as days outstanding. Changed values are highlighted, so the reviewer sees what moved since the last issue.

Every customer’s cover sheet is different, and one of ours runs to three pages.

Cover sheet templates are held per customer format, and a template can run to several pages with different data on each. The data is inherited from the equipment linkage, so each page is populated per document, per issue, without retyping.

We supply packaged and engineered systems as well as the machines.

The same project handles both. For the wider engineered equipment load, skids, exchangers, fired and heating systems and the parties that come with them, see Engineered Equipment Suppliers.
