From Native Design Files to Validated Deliverables — Zero Excel Round-Trips

Konnect xD Equipment Hub automates the equipment package vendor deliverable lifecycle. Ingest native files — DEXPI P&ID, PCF, IDF, STEP, NWD — extract tag registers automatically, validate against contractor standards, and track contract scope completion. Purpose-built for main contractors and equipment vendors in EPC project execution.

[02]The Industry Problem

Equipment Package Deliverables Are Still Exchanged Via Excel

Manual Data Entry
Manual Data Entry
Vendors must populate Excel sheets from their native design files. Data is transcribed manually — a bottleneck that introduces errors at every step and slows down project execution.
Data Discrepancies
Data Discrepancies
Mismatches between document revisions (PDF) and data revisions (Excel) lead to costly rework. Version control between different file formats is practically non-existent.
Inefficient Validation
Inefficient Validation
IAM teams manually check data quality while procurement prioritizes PO closure over data integrity. Resources are misallocated. Existing tools like ShareCat are just "online Excel sheets".

Equipment Hub was built to automate this entire exchange — from native files to validated deliverables.

[03]How It Works

Four Steps to Automated Deliverable Exchange

From native file upload to validated deliverables — the entire vendor exchange lifecycle automated.

01

Ingest

Native file upload

Vendors upload native design files — DEXPI P&ID, PCF, IDF, STEP, NWD, or Excel. Drag-and-drop interface with format auto-detection.

02

Extract

Automatic data extraction

Tag registers, equipment attributes, and deliverable data are extracted automatically from native formats. Zero manual re-entry.

TagsAttributesRelationships
03

Validate

Standards compliance

Extracted data is checked in real-time against contractor standards and specifications. Discrepancies are flagged with actionable corrections.

RulesStandardsNaming
04

Track

Scope completion

Contract scope is tracked against document-level deliveries. Dashboard shows completion status, outstanding items, and issue resolution.

[04]Capabilities

Seven Pillars of Vendor Deliverable Intelligence

Automated File Ingestion

Automated File Ingestion

Ingest DEXPI P&ID (XML), PCF piping component files, IDF instrument data, STEP 3D models, NWD Navisworks files, and Excel spreadsheets — all through a single drag-and-drop interface.

Data Extraction

Data Extraction

Auto-generate tag registers from native design formats. Equipment attributes, relationships, and deliverable data extracted without manual transcription.

Validation Engine

Validation Engine

Real-time compliance checks against contractor standards and specifications. Automated naming convention verification, attribute completeness checks, and cross-reference validation.

Interactive Corrections

Interactive Corrections

Vendors review extracted data, correct discrepancies, and fill in additional details through an intuitive interface — no Excel round-trip required.

Dashboard & Reporting

Dashboard & Reporting

Real-time visibility into issue tracking, change management, and submission status. Both contractors and vendors see their own progress and outstanding items.

Contract Scope Tracking

Contract Scope Tracking

Track deliverables against contract scope at the document level. Monitor completion rates, identify gaps, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Hybrid Model

Hybrid Model

Support both native file ingestion (automated) and manual Excel entry (for vendors without native file capabilities). Every supplier type is accommodated.
