Excitech DOCS automates everything so that you can do it quickly and without errors

Mobile Access

MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

What is Excitech DOCS?For many design, BIM and IT professionals in the construction sector, there are several complications and frustrations in their day-to-day efforts to get work done at a profit, prevent unnecessary risk, and adhere to the standards imposed on their business.

Excitech DOCS is a robust document and drawing management solution specifically tailored to help professionals in the construction sector tackle these issues and move beyond Windows folders. It has been designed to help with the generation of design documentation and managing them from concept through to publishing. It also supports BIM Level 2 standards and procedures.

6-DAY IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE BASED ON A SINGLE OFFICE WITH 15-30 STAFF

Built on top of M-Files, a document management software ranked by Forrester as a leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Excitech DOCS uses metadata and context to intelligently store data based on what it is as opposed to where it is.

Users do not need to remember where they have previously stored a document or think about where their colleague may have stored it; they can just search for it via the various metadata tags attached to it. Each role, team or individual can have a different route to the same document.

This eliminates the risk and complex processes associated with managing constuction documentation, by delivering peace of mind that every document or drawing is the one

true version every single time.
