Workflows That Bring Teams TogetherDCNext™ – The Next Generation of Document Control
ProjectReady’s commitment to connected collaboration across project teams is the fuel that drives DCNext™, an innovative, retail-centric document control solution. With DCNext, essential document control functions and responsibilities are as easy as filling out a guided form and adding the content you need from connected systems to our easy-to-use Content Cart.
Easily register content to the project from Autodesk Construction Cloud solutions like Autodesk Build (formerly BIM 360) and PlanGrid; Procore; Microsoft 365 solutions like SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Outlook; Box, and others. Route documents around for review and approval. Submit, track, and monitor RFIs, Change Orders, Submittals, and Transmittals. And collaborate on project information in real-time with M365 and Bluebeam Studio integrations.

Bluebeam Studio Integration
Seamlessly integrated in ProjectReady’s DCNext for Review and Submittals workflow.
Harness the power of Bluebeam to manage, review, markup and collaborate on content across Autodesk, Procore, and SharePoint – all within a SINGLE Bluebeam Session!
Automate the connection of all your content and platforms, to streamline collaboration and content reviews, and ensuring project teams work together effectively, regardless of where their files are stored.
Collaborate Across Platforms
Effortlessly bring together content from Autodesk, Procore and SharePoint into one collaborative Bluebeam session, reducing the need for manual document transfers and time-consuming platform switching.
Streamline document reviews and approvals
Simplify the submittal, review and approval process by combining multiple documents into a single session, enabling real-time collaboration and feedback from teams, consultants, and stakeholders across different platforms.
Boost efficiency in project delivery
Eliminate bottlenecks and delays caused by siloed information and disconnected workflows, speeding up project timelines and ensuring faster project reviews and approvals.
By eliminating the frustration of navigating between multiple systems and ensuring all project data is centrally accessible, transform how AEC teams collaborate on content review and manage their workflows. Whether you’re handling submittals, design reviews, or ad-hoc project sessions, you’ll see how this helps to improve productivity, reduce errors, and streamline the entire project lifecycle.
