GoSmarter MillCert
Alternative for EPC Projects: PO Matching and Compliance
GoSmarter MillCert is solid for metals distributors extracting data from incoming MTRs. For EPC projects, the workflow is different: every certificate must be matched to a specific purchase order line item, validated against the project piping material specification (PMS), tagged to the applicable regulatory regime (IBR, ASME, PESO), and feed the inspector-ready gap report. GoSmarter does extraction; Pathnovo does the full EPC workflow.
EPC Purchase Order Matching
GoSmarter extracts MTR data. Pathnovo matches every heat number to the specific EPC PO line item: including multi-heat certificates covering multiple PO lines, split shipments, and partial deliveries. PO matching is what makes mill certificate data actionable in an EPC procurement workflow.
Piping Material Specification Validation
GoSmarter validates MTR against material code (ASTM / ASME). Pathnovo additionally validates against the project-specific piping material specification (PMS), which is often tighter than code. Non-conformances surface against the project spec, not just the code.
Indian Regulatory Integration
GoSmarter has no native IBR, PESO, or OISD 118 support. Pathnovo auto-populates IBR Form IV material register, PESO-scoped pressure equipment register, and OISD 118 traceability. See /compliance/ibr and /compliance/peso.
Inspector-Ready Gap Reports
GoSmarter produces structured MTR data. Pathnovo produces the inspector-ready gap report (missing certificates, specification deviations, traceability breaks, documentation gaps), formatted for TÜV SÜD, Bureau Veritas, SGS, Lloyd's Register, HSB, or IRS review before the inspector arrives.

Is GoSmarter MillCert suitable for EPC projects?
For raw MTR data extraction, yes. For the full EPC procurement and QA workflow (PO matching, piping specification validation, IBR / PESO / OISD compliance, inspector gap reporting), no. GoSmarter is built for metals distributors who process MTRs to generate their own certificates of conformance; the workflow downstream of extraction is different for EPC buyers.
Does Pathnovo support the same 180,000+ certificate formats as GoSmarter?
Yes. Both platforms handle 180,000+ mill certificate formats globally: extraction layer capability is comparable. The distinction is what happens after extraction: Pathnovo pipes the data into EPC procurement, QA, and regulatory workflows automatically.
Can I use GoSmarter and Pathnovo together?
For organisations with both metals distribution and EPC project delivery arms (rare but possible), yes. Most buyers consolidate to one platform. For pure EPC context, Pathnovo is the complete workflow. For pure metals distribution, GoSmarter is the fit.
How does Pathnovo's pricing compare?
Pathnovo is per-project priced: $300 to $900 for a typical mid-size EPC project covering MTR extraction, PO matching, specification validation, and regulatory register generation. Larger greenfield projects (180,000+ certificates) run $2,400 to $6,000 including IBR / PESO register generation. GoSmarter operates on a standard SaaS subscription model: comparable value per unit of extraction, but missing the EPC workflow layer.
Does this work for Indian PSU refineries with IBR obligations?
Yes. This is one of Pathnovo's strongest use cases. Indian PSU refineries (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, Reliance, MRPL, ONGC-Mangalore) process thousands of IBR-scoped mill certificates per project, each needing validation against IBR-approved material grades and linkage to the IBR Form IV register. Pathnovo is the only solution automating the full IBR mill certificate workflow.
