The OdysseyGPT platform · Built for the detail. From RFQ to delivery.
Check the customer's spec package against your datasheets, requirement by requirement
For bid, proposal and application engineers and project managers at valve, pump, actuator and instrument makers. OdysseyGPT reads the whole tender or RFQ package. It answers each requirement with a quote from your documents. Then it drafts the compliance matrix and the deviations & clarifications list for your engineers to review.
Last reviewed:
Every row
Read the spec package
Each source row is reviewed as a requirement, or set aside with a reason, such as a header or boilerplate. Any row left over is listed.
Quoted
Answer each requirement
Complies, deviates, clarification or not addressed. Each answer has a quote from your document, page, sheet or cell. The quote is checked against the source.
Matrix + D&C
Export the response
A compliance matrix and a deviations & clarifications list you can edit. Both are ready for your engineers to review.
What it reads
- Project and technical specs, including clauses and tables hidden in long text
- The material requisition (MR) and its line items
- The inspection and test plan (ITP)
- The customer's datasheets and the standards they call up, such as API 6D for pipeline valves
- Your own datasheets, standard specifications and test procedures
What you get back
- A clause-by-clause compliance matrix. Each customer requirement gets one line: its status, where it sits in the customer's documents, the quote from yours and the reviewer's decision
- A technical deviation list, sent to the customer as a deviations & clarifications (D&C) list. It shows the exceptions you take, the questions you need answered and the documents you still need
- A separate internal sheet for your team's to-dos, kept off the customer list
Built for the bid desk
Each requirement is checked only against documents that can answer it. Some requirements need a document the package doesn't contain, such as an ITP that was never sent. Those are flagged as documents to request. If a quote can't be found where the finding says, the finding goes to review, not into the matrix.
Tools for each stage of an order
Document Review is generally available. The other tools are in beta: request access and we onboard each team ourselves. Each tool page answers the questions buyers ask about that step.
Tender Answer the customer's specification package and compare offers.
- Document ReviewAvailableCompare a base document with customer or supplier documents in both directions, with quoted evidence on every row, reviewer decisions and an Excel export.
- Customer Specification ReviewBetaExtract technical, quality, documentation and test requirements from a customer specification into a register, each traced to its clause, with gaps flagged.
- Datasheet ComparisonBetaCompare a baseline datasheet with one or more proposals field by field. Units are normalised, tolerances applied and each material difference cited to its cell.
- Technical Bid EvaluationBetaCompare several supplier offers against one technical requirement baseline, with deviations, gaps and clarification questions cited. A person picks the winner.
- Deviation RegisterBetaFind declared and undeclared deviations across requirements, proposals and clarifications, merge duplicates and record technical and commercial impact for each.
Order Check the purchase order against the quote and set up the document schedule.
- Quotation-to-PO ReviewBetaCompare your quotation and clarifications with the customer's purchase order: new obligations, rejected deviations, scope changes and commercial changes.
- VDRL/MDR TrackerBetaTurn a customer's VDRL, MDR or SDRL into a deliverables register with due dates, revisions and review status, and flag overdue or missing documents.
Manufacturing Check material certificates, traceability and welding qualifications.
- Material Certificate ReviewBetaCheck material test certificates against purchase requirements: chemistry, mechanical properties, heat treatment, heat numbers and EN 10204 certificate type.
- Material Traceability CheckBetaTrace materials from certificate to finished equipment: link heat numbers to parts, welds and tags, and flag unlinked heats, orphan certificates and conflicts.
- Welding Qualification ReviewBetaCheck WPS, PQR and welder qualifications against each weld on the weld map: process, material, thickness, diameter, position, filler and continuity.
Inspection Check the ITP, inspection readiness, NDE, calibration and FAT readiness.
- ITP ValidatorBetaCheck a proposed inspection and test plan against the customer's quality specification and PO: missing stages, hold points, acceptance criteria and records.
- Inspection Readiness CheckBetaCheck drawings, procedures, material certificates, calibration, welder records and open NCRs before an inspection, and get a readiness verdict with blockers.
- NDE Coverage ReviewBetaMatch each weld on the weld map to its required NDE method, confirm the RT, UT, MT or PT report exists and covers it, and close out repair cycles.
- Calibration Validity CheckBetaCross-check every instrument on your inspection and test reports against its calibration certificate: valid on the day of use, right serial and traceable.
- FAT Readiness CheckBetaCheck a factory acceptance test is ready to run: approved procedure, drawings, calibration, open NCRs, punch items and customer witness notice.
Handover Check, trace and compile the manufacturing record book.
- MRB Readiness CheckBetaCompare your manufacturing record book with the customer's MRB instructions: find missing documents, wrong revisions, unsigned records and pending approvals.
- MRB Traceability VerificationBetaCheck the links inside an MRB: tag to heat to material certificate, weld to WPS to welder, test to instrument to calibration and ITP step to record.
- MRB CompilerBetaMap approved records to the customer's MRB index and get a cited compilation manifest, with missing, duplicate, unapproved and superseded documents flagged.
03 / Workflow Studio
Build the review around the project.
Put source documents, extraction, review gates and outputs on one canvas. Each step has its own settings and run controls. Steps that need a person stay visible as manual steps.
04 / In development
Coming next to the workspace.
Two features we are building now. They are not generally available yet. The films use development builds and synthetic data. Ask us if you want early access.
Questions bid teams ask
What is a compliance matrix in a tender response?
A table that answers the customer's specification one requirement at a time. For each clause, it shows whether your offer complies, deviates or needs a clarification. It also shows the evidence. OdysseyGPT drafts it from your own datasheets and documents, and each answer quotes its source.
What does "not addressed" mean?
Your documents don't answer the requirement yet, so your team must confirm it before the offer goes out. OdysseyGPT lists these instead of guessing. It also lists requirements that need a document the package doesn't contain.
How does it help with technical bid evaluation (TBE) and technical queries (TQs)?
The EPC's evaluator checks your offer during the TBE. They raise TQs for anything unanswered or unclear. If your offer answers every requirement with evidence and states its deviations and clarifications up front, there are fewer points to query. OdysseyGPT works on your side of the tender only.
Which file types does it read?
PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV, including workbooks with many sheets. It doesn't read engineering drawings such as general arrangements and P&IDs, so review those yourself.
Does OdysseyGPT send anything to the customer?
No. Your engineers decide the open items, edit the wording and own what goes out. The compliance matrix and deviation list are spreadsheets you edit before anything is sent.
How much does it cost?
OdysseyGPT Managed is priced from $999/month, with managed onboarding included. See the pricing page for what the subscription covers.
