The problem isn't your documents. It's how the software interprets them.
Every document control platform in AEC was built the same way. Fixed modules. Fixed forms. Fixed silos. A Transmittal is a Transmittal. A Drawing is a Drawing. Each one lives in its own box. You can't relate them cleanly. That model made sense twenty years ago.
Documents are Records. Not files.
Every meaningful object in a project is a Record.
A Document is a Record. A Transmittal is a Record. A Package, a Contact, a Company — all Records. Each one has its own schema, its own lifecycle, and native connections to every other Record in the project.
Nothing lives in a silo. Everything is connected.
Upload a drawing. Tracta reads it.
When you upload a drawing, Tracta doesn't just store a file. It creates a Document Record — with System Fields extracted automatically: document number, Revision, title, discipline, date, status. No manual entry. No data corruption.
The Schema builds itself as a byproduct of the work. Custom Fields your team defines sit alongside the extracted fields — your Record Types, your Fields, your structure.
That's the unlock. A complete data model that stays accurate without anyone maintaining it.
Every revision, traced.
Upload Rev B. Tracta links it to Rev A automatically. The full history lives on the Document Record — every state, every change, every issue. Nothing reconstructed. Nothing lost.
Duplicates are flagged before they go anywhere. The register is always current. The revision history is complete from day one.
The audit trail isn't a feature. It's built in.
In traditional AEC software, the audit trail is an afterthought — a log table, a PDF export, a compliance module you pay extra for.
In Tracta, traceability is native to every Record. Every status change is logged. Every Transmittal is a permanent record of what was sent, to whom, when, and what action was required. Every Workflow step has a timestamp and an owner. The Register for any Record Type is always current — no manual reconciliation.
When a project goes wrong — and they do — the question isn't whether you have records. It's whether you can find them, trust them, and present them clearly. Tracta is built to answer that question on every project, without anyone having to think about it.
Built for the teams that actually run projects.
Other platforms are built for large organisations with dedicated document controllers and implementation budgets. Their flexibility ends at the module list the vendor decided to build.
Tracta is built for the engineers, project managers, and document controllers who actually live with the problem. Flexible enough to match how your project is structured — your Record Types, your Fields, your Schema. Opinionated enough to not require a consultant to configure it.
One pattern. Every object. Always.
Every object in Tracta — Documents, Packages, Transmittals, Contacts, Companies — follows the same Record model. As the product grows, every new Record Type follows the same pattern.
One consistent way to understand, relate, and trace everything in a project.
Ask the project anything.
Show me all drawings in Package C that haven't been responded to. What's the latest revision of SK-101? Who issued TR-0015 and when?
Ask Tracta reads from verified Record data and constructs a cited answer. It doesn't guess. It doesn't modify records. The record stays clean — the answer comes from it.
The record makes it possible. The agent does the work.
