DocBoss
+ Pathnovo AI Extraction
Add vendor document content intelligence to the only dedicated supplier-side EPC document control platform. VDRL compliance checking, datasheet spec validation, mill certificate traceability, and final data book enrichment, all running on DocBoss-routed supplier documents. Built for equipment suppliers and EPC procurement teams.
VDRL Compliance Automation
DocBoss auto-generates document registers from Vendor Document Requirement Lists (VDRLs) and tracks submission status. Pathnovo reads each submitted vendor document and validates content against VDRL requirements automatically: every datasheet parameter, every certificate witness stamp, every inspection record checked as it arrives.
Vendor Datasheet Compliance Check
Every vendor-submitted datasheet compared against the Material Requisition (MR) specification automatically. Chemistry, mechanical properties, design conditions, materials of construction, codes and standards: all validated at submission. Deviations flagged before procurement approval cycle.
Mill Certificate Traceability Feed
Mill certificates (MTRs) submitted by vendors through DocBoss flow into Pathnovo's mill certificate traceability engine: PO line-item matching, IBR / PESO / CCOE compliance register population, 180,000+ certificate formats handled. See /solutions/procurement-intelligence/mill-certificate.
Final Data Book Compilation
DocBoss compiles final data books from tracked vendor documents. Pathnovo enriches the data book with structured engineering data extracted from every document, turning the data book from a document archive into a queryable engineering register for operator handover.
Vendor Document Register Intelligence
For each supplier, Pathnovo reads the full document package and produces a structured summary: datasheet parameters, inspection witness points, certificate validity, NDE results, FAT witness evidence. Procurement teams see at a glance which vendors are delivering complete, compliant packages.
Supplier-Side Workflow Friendly
DocBoss is the only platform that works from the supplier side of the EPC relationship. Pathnovo extends that supplier-side workflow with extraction: suppliers upload documents to DocBoss as normal; Pathnovo automatically validates and flags issues, reducing EPC-side rejection cycles.

What is DocBoss?
DocBoss is the only dedicated vendor document control platform built for equipment suppliers in the EPC supply chain. It auto-generates document registers from VDRLs (Vendor Document Requirement Lists), tracks submission status across the document lifecycle, and compiles final data books for equipment handover. Used by equipment suppliers globally. Unlike Wrench SmartProject or Oracle Aconex which work from the EPC / owner side, DocBoss is supplier-side.
How does Pathnovo integrate with DocBoss?
Via DocBoss's API. Pathnovo reads vendor documents as they upload to DocBoss, extracts structured engineering data and compliance information, and writes back validation status and extracted data to the DocBoss document record. The supplier's DocBoss workflow is preserved; Pathnovo adds automated content validation behind the scenes.
Does this replace DocBoss?
No, complementary. DocBoss manages vendor document workflow (routing, status, compilation). Pathnovo adds content intelligence (reading documents, validating specifications, extracting structured data). Supplier organisations keep their DocBoss interface; Pathnovo adds the extraction layer through the API.
Which supplier types benefit most?
(1) Pressure equipment suppliers (boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers) with IBR / ASME documentation obligations: automated Form III / Form IV / IBR compliance register generation; (2) Rotating equipment suppliers (pumps, compressors, turbines) with extensive inspection and test documentation; (3) Valve manufacturers with complex PSV / control valve compliance documentation; (4) Piping component suppliers with mill certificate and material traceability requirements; (5) Instrument suppliers with calibration and certification documentation. In all cases, automated content validation reduces EPC-side rejection cycles and accelerates commercial acceptance.
How does this help EPC-side procurement teams?
EPC procurement teams routinely experience 30-50% vendor submission rework: documents rejected for spec non-compliance, missing signatures, incomplete data, certificate validity issues. Each rework cycle adds 2-6 weeks. Pathnovo pre-validates every submission at intake via DocBoss, flagging issues to the vendor before EPC review. EPC-side review time drops 40-60%; commercial acceptance accelerates; project schedule protected. For a typical mid-EPC project with 500+ vendor submissions, annual savings run in crore range in procurement and scheduling cost.
Does this work for Indian and Gulf EPC workflows?
Yes. DocBoss is used by equipment suppliers globally, including Indian and Gulf suppliers. Pathnovo's integration adds IBR compliance validation (Indian pressure equipment), PESO / CCOE compliance validation (Indian hazardous area equipment), Aramco Material Data Book compilation support (Gulf), and client-specific compliance format support. For Indian PSU refinery projects or Aramco / QatarEnergy / ADNOC contracts, this end-to-end validation is a significant workflow acceleration.
What is the commercial model?
Credit-based, with the full platform included on every paid tier. Suppliers running Pathnovo on their own DocBoss instance and EPC organisations coordinating 40-100+ vendors through a shared DocBoss deployment all run on the same tier model: Starter ₹40,000/$1,200 per month for 1,000 credits, Professional ₹1,75,000/$5,500 for 5,000 credits, Scale from ₹6,50,000/$20,000 for 25,000 credits, Enterprise custom. Free 14-day trial with 100 credits to validate on a single vendor document package, no credit card. See /pricing.
