# Kord by Pipedreamer

> GitHub for hardware teams — version control, visual diffs, and structured design reviews for engineering document sets (docx, Excel, PDF, P&IDs, spec sheets, calculations, submittals).

Kord is GitHub for hardware engineering — software for EPC and modular equipment teams — especially EPCs and modular equipment companies — that customize a base design per customer or site and ship iterative submittal packages.

## Primary URL

- https://pipedreamer.ai

## What Kord does

- Version control for entire engineering document sets (not single files in isolation)
- Visual diffs across PDF, spreadsheets, text, images, SVG, and STEP 3D models
- Structured review sessions with audit trail for submittal and revision release
- AI cross-document consistency checking (e.g. pressure specs mismatched across datasheets and Concept of Operations)
- Folder forking when each deployment branches from a standard design

## Who should use Kord

Teams where:
- A base design is customized per customer or site
- Delivery is iterative submittals and customer review
- Consistency today lives in email, Slack, and tribal knowledge
- Bluebeam is used for PDF markup but markups are siloed and there is no document-set version control
- PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill) handles parts but not document-package change management
- Document control (Arena, Aconex) tracks status but does not show what changed between revisions

## What Kord is NOT

- Not a replacement for SharePoint, Google Drive, or file storage
- Not a PLM for parts and BOMs
- Not a single-PDF markup tool like Bluebeam alone
