Engineering document management software is a secure platform where engineers, project managers, and stakeholders can log in to access, organize, and collaborate on technical documents and project files. It brings all your drawings, specifications, revisions, and communications into one centralized space, which helps the team stay on the same page and streamlines project workflows. This makes managing complex engineering documentation much easier and more efficient.
Softr makes it easy to build engineering document management software tailored to your project needs. You can connect your existing data—like drawing logs in Airtable, project notes in Notion, or revision histories in SQL—and set up a platform where team members can upload, review, and share documents securely, all in one place.
You don’t need to code anything. You can use a template or start from scratch, customize the layout, control who can see or edit documents, and add your company branding. It’s quick to set up, simple to modify, and flexible enough for evolving project requirements. It keeps all your engineering documents organized and accessible.
You can include a wide range of features in your engineering document management software, depending on your team’s workflow. Some of the most useful options are:
\- User logins – so each engineer or project stakeholder can access their own files and permissions
\- Custom dashboards – to show document status, approval workflows, or key project milestones
\- Forms – for submitting document revisions, transmittals, or approval requests
\- File sharing – team members can upload and download specs, drawings, or reports securely
\- Search and filters – to quickly locate drawings, change orders, or project files
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – for organizing documents, revision logs, or project correspondence
\- Comments or status updates – to keep all communication about a document in one place
\- Charts – to visualize revision history, approval cycles, or project progress
\- Calendar view – for tracking submission deadlines, meetings, or review periods
\- Permissions and roles – so users only access documents relevant to their responsibilities
All these features are built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you won’t need to code. And you can easily update features as your project needs change.
No coding is required. You can build your engineering document management software entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from organizing file structures to setting user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple clients or teams within the same engineering document management software. Each user will only see the documents and project information assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially helpful for engineering firms or project managers who need to collaborate with different teams, contractors, or clients through a single, organized platform.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your engineering document management workflows. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, ClickUp, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also use the REST API to integrate data from other systems.
You’re not limited to a single source—multiple data sources can be integrated into your engineering document management software and displayed together. For example, you can track project documents from Airtable and project schedules from Google Sheets, all in one place. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync so your engineering data stays up to date across systems.
Yes, Softr provides you with full control over how users access and experience your engineering document management software. You can tailor the interface, navigation, and document organization to fit your team’s or client’s workflow. Each page or section can be shown or hidden depending on who’s logged in, so every user only sees the documents and information they need.
You can set up roles such as project manager, engineer, client, or contractor, and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, clients might only see final project documents, while engineers and project managers have access to all files and drafts. You can also create personalized document views by filtering based on the logged-in user.
This level of customization makes it easy to manage complex engineering projects securely, ensuring everyone has access to the right files and information.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have your engineering documents or data stored elsewhere to start building with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is integrated right into the platform and works seamlessly with your engineering document management software.
If you already have engineering files or project data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL databases, you can connect those too. Plus, the REST API connector lets you bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how your project documents and information are organized and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your engineering document management software in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make your document management system feel like a true extension of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your users will only see your company’s identity throughout the platform.
Absolutely. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your engineering document management software. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the structure of each page to align with your organization’s branding and workflow. You can decide how documents, projects, and folders are displayed, arrange blocks and dashboards to show the most relevant data, and set up user views for different roles.
To organize your engineering documents, you can use various blocks:
\- Table blocks – to display document lists, version histories, or project files
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight key projects, document categories, or team resources
\- Detail View – to present individual document metadata or approval history
\- Forms – for uploading documents or submitting engineering change requests
\- Charts – to visualize project progress or compliance trends
\- Calendar blocks – to track document review schedules or deadlines
If your requirements change, it’s easy to update the layout right in the visual builder.
Softr takes security seriously for your engineering document management software. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your application is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have complete control over user permissions—set up role-based access, manage teams, and use visibility rules to ensure only authorized team members can view or edit sensitive engineering documents.
If your document management system connects to external databases like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your documents—it simply displays them in real time based on your permission settings. You’re always in control of your documents and who can access them.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and system monitoring to safeguard your data.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one engineering document management app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, including support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, and Google Sheets.
