Lives Inside Your Existing Folder Structure

Your MRB,
Building Itself.
As You Work.

CertaFab watches your project folder. Every material cert, weld record, and NDT report you drop in is automatically picked up, validated, and assembled into a live Manufacturing Record Book — without changing how your team works or replacing anything already in place.

Software That Fits Around Your Process — Not the Other Way Around

CertaFab sits on top of your existing folder structure and QA workflow. Nothing is replaced. Nothing is disrupted. It just starts working the moment a document lands in your project folder.

Works From Your Existing Folders
Point CertaFab at the folder your team already uses. There is no migration, no new system to learn, and no change to how documents are saved. Whether you use a shared network drive, Google Drive, or OneDrive — CertaFab watches the folder and picks up every document as it arrives.

Live MRB — Built as You Go
As documents land in the job folder, CertaFab reads them, extracts the relevant data, and assembles your Manufacturing Record Book in real time. Material certs, weld records, NDT reports, pressure test certificates — each one automatically indexed and placed in the right section of the MRB as soon as it arrives.

Gap Detection Before Audit
CertaFab checks every document against your applicable standard automatically. Expired welder certifications, heat numbers that don't trace back through the material cert, NDT coverage gaps — flagged in your live dashboard during the job, not discovered by your Notified Body after delivery. Fix issues while there is still time.
Pre-Audit Compliance Intelligence
Automatic Weld Traceability Matrix
Every weld on every drawing linked to its WPS, the welder's WPQR, material heat numbers on both sides, filler wire batch cert, visual inspection result, and NDT report — generated automatically from the documents already in your folder. One searchable traceability record, always up to date, ready for any audit query.

Completeness Dashboard
See exactly where every active job stands at a glance. What has been received, what has been validated, what is still outstanding — colour-coded by document type and ITP stage. Your QA team always knows the current state of every job without manually chasing down a folder or spreadsheet.

Complements Your QA System — Doesn't Replace It
CertaFab is a documentation intelligence layer, not a Quality Management System. Your existing QA procedures, approval workflows, and Notified Body relationships stay exactly as they are. CertaFab handles the time-consuming task of collecting, reading, and assembling documents — so your qualified people can focus on quality decisions, not paperwork.

Founder — QA & Compliance Specialist

5+ years on the shop floor and in the quality office of PED-regulated fabricators. CertaFab was built because I lived this problem every week — and got tired of waiting for someone else to solve it.

Years in regulated fabrication QA

Built by Someone Who Has Spent Years Doing This Manually

After five years working in quality assurance across PED-regulated fabrication — compiling MRBs, chasing material certs, cross-referencing weld records against procedures, and assembling packages for Notified Bodies — the frustration was always the same: highly skilled people spending days, sometimes weeks, on document management that should be automatic.

I built CertaFab because I couldn't find a tool that understood how fabricators actually work. Most software wants you to change your process to fit the system. CertaFab does the opposite — it sits quietly in the background, watches your existing folder, and does the paperwork while your team gets on with the job.

  • Deep domain knowledge of PED, welding standards, and MRB requirements — not a generic document management tool
  • Built specifically for PED fabricators doing coded welding and pressure vessel work
  • Does not replace your Quality Engineer or your QMS — it removes their most time-consuming task
  • Configured to your specific standards, customer formats, and Notified Body requirements

What Fabricators Are Telling Us

Conversations with Quality Managers and Engineering Directors at PED-regulated fabricators across England.

"
Putting together an MRB for a Category III vessel takes us the best part of a fortnight with three people involved. If something could do that automatically while we work, we'd be paying for it from week one. The time cost is very real.

The thing that kills us is chasing documents across multiple suppliers and sub-contractors, then realising we have a gap two days before the Notified Body review. If CertaFab flags that in real time, during the job, that's genuinely valuable — it saves a delay and protects the delivery date.

We already have a QMS and we're not looking to replace it. But the MRB compilation at the end of every job — that's pure admin. If a tool can sit on top of our existing process and handle that part without us changing anything, that's exactly what we'd want. The key is it has to work with how we already save things.

Built for PED-Regulated Fabricators

CertaFab is built for companies doing coded welding and pressure-scoped fabrication work where MRB documentation is a real, recurring cost — not an occasional requirement.
