Ignite is the document management platform built specifically for engineering and consulting firms. It improves quality, increases productivity, and measures performance — without adding paperwork burden.
Built for the built environment
Ignite is designed around engineers and managers — not ISO paperwork. It delivers measurable results across the three dimensions that matter most.
Ignite removes the friction that slows engineering firms down every single day. No workarounds. No exceptions.
Submission and approval workflows handle authorisation digitally within the system.
The system records every submission, approval, and rejection with a full audit trail.
Documents are shared, reviewed, and approved entirely inside Ignite.
One platform covers document storage, project management, and deliverable tracking.
Obsolescence control blocks access to superseded documents automatically.
Ignite FileSync keeps all documents on the server — a lost device loses nothing.
Install FileSync, sign in, and everything is exactly as it was. Instantly.
Regulated folder templates ensure every project looks and behaves the same way.
The system assigns the filing location, document number, and QR code automatically.
Gantt charts, deliverable scheduling, and resource planning are all built in.
Bentley ProjectWise. Oracle Aconex. Procore. Powerful — and designed for 800-user enterprise deployments. Here's why built environment professionals choose Ignite instead.
Global platforms are designed around multinational enterprise assumptions — foreign approval chains, overseas billing, and workflows built for 40-country mega-projects. Ignite is built around how your team actually runs a project in the SA built environment.
Enterprise platforms charge per seat, per module, per year — and it compounds fast. Ignite's perpetual licence means you pay once and own it. What you'd spend on Aconex in Year 2 alone exceeds Ignite's entire multi-year total.
Procore and Bentley ship with hundreds of modules you'll never use, require dedicated system administrators, and involve lengthy implementation projects. Ignite is scoped to exactly what a built environment project team needs — live in days, not months.
When something breaks on Aconex or Bentley, you log a support ticket and wait. With Ignite, you reach someone who built the system and knows your project. When a deadline is at risk, the difference between a call and a ticket is the difference between a fix and a failure.
Procore and Aconex have document management bolted onto construction management. Their Gantt charts are designed for site programmes and contractor activities. Ignite's scheduling is purpose-built for deliverable management — finish-to-start dependencies, approval-day buffers, named responsible persons, and late-completion highlighting. One focus. Done better than any general-purpose platform.
They built a system for the whole world
and hoped it would fit you.
We built a system for projects like yours.
Ignite's file explorer reflects the real hierarchy of your projects — client, project code, stage, and regulated sub-folders — accessible from anywhere, on any device.
Ignite is designed to satisfy the full Documented Information clause out of the box — no bolted-on compliance tools required.
Formal process for producing and authorising documents
Revision tracking to prevent use of outdated information
Documents accessible at all points of use, on any device
Block retrieval and use of superseded documents
Clear, readable, and fully auditable document trail
Manage third-party documents within the same system
Ignite FileSync is our desktop sync engine installed directly on your machines. It keeps every device current — with no Dropbox, no OneDrive, and no dependency on any external cloud service. A lost laptop loses nothing.
File system watchers catch changes the moment they happen — no manual upload triggers.
Only changed content is transferred. Smart compression minimises bandwidth usage.
Documents appear on all authorised devices. Re-setup after laptop replacement is instant.
Ten workflow steps that transform how your team creates, manages, and delivers project documents.
Set up your clients, sub-consultants, and team members with roles and permissions.
A new project instantly generates the regulated folder hierarchy — no manual setup.
Break the project into works components and assign team members with rates and budgets.
Pre-schedule all project deliverables with start dates, dependencies, and durations.
Every deliverable gets its folder, its document number, and a QR code — automatically.
Set approval chains and resource allocations per deliverable before work begins.
Each deliverable has a named responsible person — accountability is always clear.
Formal postponement requests are submitted, tracked, and approved within the system.
Teams work together on documents inside Ignite — no email, no external tools.
Formal submission triggers the approval workflow. Stakeholders are notified automatically at every step.
Choose the deployment model that fits your organisation's size, budget, and control requirements.
