The Challenge
Complex Operations
Managing large infrastructure projects across Transmission & Distribution, Water, Oil & Gas, Rail, and Industrial Fabrication sectors required sophisticated coordination.
Scattered Systems
Bid management relied on email threads and offline files, creating information silos and communication delays that impacted project timelines.
Governance Gaps
Lack of integrated platforms resulted in compliance risks, delayed approvals, and difficulty tracking commercial outcomes across the project lifecycle.
Pre-Bid Stage: Bid Evaluation & Submission
The company previously managed bids through scattered email threads and offline files. With the new AI-enabled platform, the enterprise established a centralized workspace for all bid-related activities.
Centralized Workspace
Project creation for each bid with high-volume document handling capabilities
Secure Collaboration
Internal and external stakeholder engagement with controlled access
Template-Driven Creation
NDAs, MoUs, JV agreements, and auditor certificates generated efficiently
Approval Workflows
Structured compliance processes ensuring readiness before submission
Post-Bid Stage: Contract Mobilization
Once a bid was awarded, project teams seamlessly transitioned from bidding to mobilization. The platform supported rapid deployment with full documentation control and traceability.
Central Repository
LOA, contracts, guarantees, and insurances stored in one secure location
Standardized Drafting
Letter creation with unique identifiers aligned to EPC norms
Automated Approvals
Defensible communication through structured approval processes
Full Traceability
Connection between contract documents and downstream project actions
Execution Stage: Claims Lifecycle Management
The platform revolutionized how the enterprise managed claims throughout project execution, providing template-based creation and real-time tracking capabilities.
01
Template-Based Creation
Idling, scope change, prolongation, and other claim types
02
Automated Routing
Streamlined approval workflows for faster processing
03
Real-Time Tracking
Monitor outcomes: approved, partially approved, or rejected
04
Financial Analytics
Assess exposure and maximize claim recovery
Obligation Management
AI-based extraction and classification transformed how the organization tracked and fulfilled contractual obligations across massive bid documents.
1
AI-Based Extraction
Automatic identification and classification of obligations from large bid documents using advanced machine learning
2
Owner Assignment
Clear accountability with automated reminders ensuring no obligation is missed or delayed
3
Clause Linking
Direct connection to originating contract clauses for fast reference and compliance verification
Hindrance Management
Real-time logging and categorization of project hindrances enabled proactive management and defensible claims.
Real-Time Logging
Capture hindrances like access delays, floods, and ROW issues as they occur
Impact Categorization
Classify by cost and time impact for accurate project assessment
Automated Reporting
Generate reports as required under EPC contract terms
Claims Conversion
Seamlessly convert documented hindrances into valid claims
Integrated Project Governance
A key breakthrough was linking all modules—Bids, Documents, Letters, Claims, Obligations, and Hindrances—providing a unified intelligence fabric across the full lifecycle of EPC execution.

Documents
Letters
Claims
Obligations
Hindrances
This eliminated information silos, improved commercial governance, strengthened compliance, and accelerated decision-making across all project phases.
