Automate mill certificate traceability, Master Document Register management, and material data report processing. From 180,000 mill certificates to automatic PO-to-heat-number matching.
In short
Pathnovo's Procurement Intelligence covers the full EPC procurement chain end-to-end: MR package assembly from P&IDs (live with GCKC + Zetwerk), Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE) in 24 hours with deviation list and code-clause references (ASTM, ASME, EN, IS, JIS, NACE, IEC, IEEE), vendor datasheet compliance check via API or 24-hour managed service, P&ID revision-to-PO impact analysis in under 60 seconds, MTR traceability across 400+ global mill formats with heat-to-PO line matching, and MDR auto-generation feeding Wrench SmartProject, Oracle Aconex, and Hexagon SDx. Indian regulatory output (IBR Form IV, PESO Form XIV / XV, CCOE, OISD 118) auto-populated from extracted MTR data; GeM-compatible MR formats for Indian PSU procurement (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL) and Indian PSU rate-card compatibility. Integrates with SAP MM, Oracle iProcurement, JDE, DocBoss, and EPCPROMAN. Positioned as the integrated alternative to TBE-only point tools (Mintmesh RUDY) and metals-industry MTR tools (GoSmarter MillCert, Certivo). Credit-based pricing, full platform on every paid tier; scoped paid pilot on the Starter tier before scale-up.

Automated MTR (Mill Test Report) data extraction and traceability. Process mill certificates from 180,000+ global formats. Match heat numbers to PO line items. Validate chemistry and mechanical properties against piping material specification. Generate inspector-ready gap reports and IBR / PESO / CCOE compliance registers. Companion to the broader mill certificate traceability workflow with EPC PO matching, IBR Form IV register population, and inspector-ready gap reports.
The only MDR automation approach that reads documents as they arrive, not just tracks them. Wrench SmartProject, Oracle Aconex, Hexagon SDx, Meridian, and Rhyton all route MDR workflow but cannot read document content. Pathnovo extracts metadata (document number, title, revision, discipline, author, date, drawing sheet count, referenced tags) directly from every incoming document and auto-populates the MDR register. Missing documents against contract deliverable scope flagged. Superseded revisions auto-archived. Completeness scored in real time. Feeds directly into Wrench, Aconex, and SDx via API.
The only mill certificate traceability service built for EPC, not just for metals distributors. Extract MTR data from 180,000+ certificate formats, match every heat number to its PO line item, validate material properties against piping specification, and generate inspector-ready gap reports before the third-party inspector arrives. Works for IBR, PESO, CCOE, OISD-118, ASME, EN, and project-specific material traceability requirements.
Automate extraction, validation, and compliance tracking of material data reports (chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment condition, hardness, dimensional data, NDE results, and surface condition) from any vendor submission format. Every extracted property validated against the project piping material specification (PMS) and against the applicable material code (ASTM, ASME, EN, IS, JIS, GB). Deviations flagged with specification clause reference. Non-conformance register maintained continuously. Related to [mill certificate traceability](/solutions/procurement-intelligence/mtr-automation) but broader, covering full material data reports beyond just the mill certificate.
The only product globally that reads two P&ID revisions, produces a structured delta of tags added / modified / deleted, and tells your procurement team exactly which open purchase orders are affected before the change becomes a six-figure field-discovered error. Upload Rev A and Rev B, receive affected PO list in under a minute. Zero competitors in this workflow anywhere.
Automate Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE) end-to-end. Upload Material Requisition (MR) + vendor technical bids. Pathnovo extracts every parameter from each vendor bid, compares against MR specification, generates deviation list, populates technical compliance score sheet, and delivers TBE-ready table within 24 hours. The full procurement intelligence chain: MR → BOM → TBE → PO. Direct counter to Mintmesh RUDY's TBE-only point solution: Pathnovo wraps TBE inside the broader workflow that includes P&ID-driven MR assembly upstream and PO impact analysis downstream.
Generate complete material requisition packages directly from P&IDs and datasheets. Pathnovo extracts equipment / valve / instrument / line items from project P&IDs, populates MR templates with quantities + spec + vendor list, and delivers procurement-ready MR packages in 48 hours. The upstream end of the procurement intelligence chain: MR → BOM → TBE → PO. Live with GCKC + Zetwerk in production builds.
Compare every vendor datasheet parameter against the MR specification automatically. Pathnovo reads vendor datasheet PDFs (any format, any language), extracts every parameter, compares against the project MR or PMS, and generates a deviations report with code clause references. Used as a standalone API for EDMS-integrated vendor document workflows (DocBoss, Wrench SmartProject) or as the validation layer inside the broader Pathnovo TBE workflow.
Over 400 global formats from mills in India, China, Japan, Korea, Europe, and the Americas. Handwritten, typed, printed, and digital formats, all processed automatically.
MDR (Master Document Register) automation maintains document registers automatically as transmittals are received. Document number, title, revision, status, and transmittal history are tracked. No manual spreadsheet updates.
Yes. Material properties extracted from MTRs are compared against piping specification requirements. Out-of-spec chemical composition, mechanical properties, or dimensional data is flagged automatically.
End-to-end chain: P&ID extraction generates the procurable item list; MR (Material Requisition) package assembly converts the item list into vendor-issuable RFQs; vendor datasheet compliance check pre-validates each bid against the MR spec; TBE (Technical Bid Evaluation) scores compliant bids; PO is raised; MTR (mill test report) traceability validates the material on shipment; P&ID revision-to-PO impact tracks any subsequent change. Each layer feeds the next with shared underlying data. Live in production with GCKC (MR workflow) and Zetwerk (BOM expansion + vendor selection).
Mintmesh RUDY is a TBE-only point solution focused on bid evaluation. Pathnovo wraps TBE inside the full procurement chain that includes P&ID-driven MR assembly upstream and PO impact analysis downstream. For procurement directors evaluating point-tool TBE against integrated procurement intelligence, the upstream MR-from-P&ID and downstream MTR traceability layers are typically the deciding factors: they eliminate manual seams that RUDY-only deployments cannot address. See the TBE automation page for the side-by-side.
Yes. Pre-certified integrations with SAP MM, Oracle iProcurement, JDE Purchasing, SAP Ariba, and standard Excel / CSV imports. The PO register feeds revision-to-PO impact analysis, MR packages export directly to SAP MM purchase requisitions, MTR data writes back to SAP QM non-conformance records. For Indian PSU procurement, GeM (Government e-Marketplace) compatible MR formats are pre-configured with rate-card compatibility for IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL.
Procurement workflows are included on every paid tier and share the same credit pool. A typical mid-EPC project running MR assembly, TBE on 50 to 100 vendor bids, and MTR traceability across 5,000 to 10,000 certificates fits Scale (25,000+ credits/month). Large greenfield EPC scopes with 180,000+ certificates and multi-asset coverage move to Enterprise on 3-year contracts. A scoped paid pilot on the Starter tier (1,000 credits per month) validates the workflow on one MR package or around 200 vendor datasheets before scale-up. See our pricing page for full plan details.
Yes. Vendor bid data and procurement workflows run inside isolated tenant workspaces with configurable data residency: AWS Riyadh (Aramco, regional Gulf), Azure UAE North (ADNOC, Emirates), Azure India Central (Indian PSU including IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, GAIL), AWS Mumbai, or customer-owned VPC. No cross-customer model training. Full audit log per parameter extraction and comparison. Air-gapped on-premises deployments available on Enterprise contracts for sanctions-sensitive operators.

Pathnovo extracts data from mill certificates (MTRs) of any format, chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat numbers, dimensional data. The system matches each heat number to the corresponding purchase order line item. Missing certificates and specification deviations are flagged. For one project, Pathnovo processed 180,000 mill certificates and built a complete traceability register.
MDR (Master Document Register) tracks all project documents: their revision, status, and transmittal history. MTR (Mill Test Report / Material Test Record) is a specific document type that certifies material properties. Pathnovo automates both, maintaining the MDR automatically and extracting structured data from individual MTRs.
