AVEVA NET
Alternative, Intelligence, Not Storage
AVEVA NET stores and retrieves engineering documents. Pathnovo reads those documents and extracts structured data. Document management vs document intelligence.
Intelligence vs Storage
AVEVA NET stores files. Pathnovo reads files and extracts structured data. You need both, but intelligence comes first.
No Implementation Overhead
AVEVA NET requires months of configuration. Pathnovo delivers results in weeks.
Structured Output
AVEVA NET gives you a PDF. Pathnovo gives you the data inside that PDF in SAP PM format.
Complementary Products
Pathnovo can feed extracted data into AVEVA NET. Use both for complete document lifecycle management.

Can Pathnovo replace AVEVA NET?
No. They solve complementary problems. AVEVA NET is a document management system (stores and retrieves files). Pathnovo is a document intelligence system (reads files and extracts structured data). Use AVEVA NET to store documents; use Pathnovo to extract intelligence from them. Both work together as one integrated document lifecycle.
Does Pathnovo integrate with AVEVA NET?
Yes. Pathnovo reads documents from AVEVA NET via API, extracts structured data, and writes back enriched metadata or linked structured data records. AVEVA NET's workflow, security, and user interface are preserved. For clients running AVEVA NET as the enterprise EDMS, Pathnovo adds the missing intelligence layer. See also /alternatives/aveva-aim for the newer AVEVA AIM platform comparison.
What is the difference between AVEVA NET and AVEVA AIM?
AVEVA NET is the older information management product; AIM is the modern successor within the AVEVA Connect cloud platform. Both aggregate structured asset data. Neither extracts from unstructured documents. Pathnovo feeds structured data into either NET or AIM cleanly. For clients on AVEVA Connect, AIM is the forward path; for legacy NET deployments, both integrate identically with Pathnovo.
What is the cost difference?
AVEVA NET enterprise licensing typically runs $500K+/year with multi-month deployment. Pathnovo is credit-based, full platform included on every paid tier, with a free 14-day trial. For clients whose primary need is document intelligence (rather than enterprise storage), Pathnovo alone may suffice without AVEVA NET investment. For clients already running AVEVA NET, Pathnovo adds complementary intelligence without replacing the existing investment. See pricing for plans.
