Weigh the vessel once — the lifting calc, the quote and the dossier follow.
Vessel and equipment fabricators, packagers and service shops in the energy supply chain run on documents: the weight control report, the lifting calculation, the MTC and WPS register, the final dossier the client's expediter chases every Friday. Each one repeats numbers that already exist on the drawing. We build software where the job is entered once — diameter, pressure, plate schedule — and every document downstream is generated in the format your client's document controller actually accepts.
Sound familiar?
The week, as it actually runs.
Weight control disagrees with the quote
The estimate said 12.4 tonnes; the weight control report says 13.2. Which revision each figure came from is anyone's guess.
MTC tracing is a highlighter job
Heat numbers matched to the material list by hand, page by page, every time the client's inspector asks for traceability.
The dossier starts the night before
Mill certs, WPS references, NDT reports and calibration sheets pulled from six folders each time the final documentation pack is due.
What we would build
One entry per vessel. Every document downstream generated.
The calculations are the work we know. A tank and vessel shell calc that outputs the DOSH-format submission sheet, a lifting lug designer that produces the one-page lift calc your safety file needs, a steel take-off that weighs the plate schedule from published tables — each is one tool, built to your method, from RM 16,000 fixed, and accepted by the Re-quote Test: twenty jobs you have already priced or submitted, re-computed to a tolerance agreed in writing.
The paperwork around the calc is workflow, not arithmetic: a drawing and document register that knows which revision went to the workshop, holds MTCs and WPS references against each line item, and assembles the dossier from documents filed as the job runs — from RM 8,000 for one workflow, fixed. To be plain: we have no named clients in this supply chain. Our proof is two in-house tools, demonstrable live on the first call, and the client portal we run ourselves — bring us your workbook and judge the method against it.
From the calculation library
The dossier assembles itself while the job runs.
The ladder, in this room
What the three levels look like for an equipment fabricator.
Essential — RM 16,000
One design engineer, one validated tool. Drawing parameters in; shell thickness, weight and the DOSH-format calc sheet out — proved against vessels you have already submitted, to the kilogram.
Standard — RM 32,000
The whole estimating and design team on one system, with a signing limit. Juniors run the calc, a senior approves before anything is issued, and weights flow to the register and the quotation automatically.
Advanced — RM 36,000 on the Client Portals ladder
Your client's expediter logs in to their own job — drawing status, inspection dates, the dossier growing as documents are filed — instead of emailing your document controller every Friday.
Start here
Bring us the last dossier you assembled by hand.
Send one completed job's document pack and the workbook that priced it. We will trace the numbers from drawing to dossier, show which documents could generate themselves, and say honestly whether a system pays. The 20-minute review is free; so is the Blueprint.
The workflow review is free, and you don't need to know the technical solution. Describe how the work happens today — that's the whole brief.
