CARET Document Control and Revisions review
A modular document-control system for approved manufacturing revisions and shop-floor access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CARET Document Control and Revisions manages manufacturing documents such as drawings, work instructions, control plans, FMEAs, visual aids and forms. Its Manage submodule handles uploads, revision creation and approval routing; Explore presents the latest approved revisions. It is aimed at manufacturers that need controlled shop-floor documents and traceable changes, including teams that want document control alongside other shop-floor operations tools.
The module is offered within CARET’s broader modular platform. According to the published plans, Starter is $6,500 per module per year and includes one module of choice, unlimited users, implementation in days, super-user training, reports and dashboards, and updates. Professional is listed at $5,200 per module per year, with custom workflow configuration, one day of on-site onboarding and future modules at the Pro rate. Suite is $4,500 per module per year for four or more modules, with 40 hours per year of light development and future modules at the Suite rate. These are annual platform tier prices, not separately stated module-only prices. A first month free is described for new pilot clients.
Revision control is the clearest fit: CARET can retire obsolete versions to a searchable archive, retain owner, timestamp and signature details, and show users only the latest approved revision. Configurable watermarks and floor-screen or tablet previews support access to current instructions, including by part-number scan. Documents can also be attached to inspection points, audit questions, maintenance procedures and engineering orders. Web, Android and API access, plus SAP and Oracle integrations, give it operational reach; cloud and mobile deployment are listed. Manufacturers seeking this controlled workflow may find the modular approach relevant. Teams looking for a broadly scoped engineering document system beyond manufacturing document control should consider alternatives.
