Katoni Engineering is an award-winning engineering consultancy and trusted partner to energy operators across the asset lifecycle. Headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, the company delivers multidisciplinary engineering and project support across oil and gas, while expanding into low carbon and renewable energy. Founded in 2010, Katoni has grown from a one-person operation to a 120+ strong team serving the North Sea and beyond.
With eight engineering disciplines in-house, Katoni delivers complex, document-intensive projects. As volumes increased, traditional folder-based systems fell short, driving the need for a modern, context-first approach to improve traceability, workflows and collaboration.
Katoni met this challenge by adopting M-Files, structuring information around what it is and how it is used, rather than where it is stored.
Highlights:
- Centralized, compliant document management: Metadata-driven structure, automated version control and complete traceability strengthen quality assurance and audit readiness.
- Streamlined multidisciplinary workflows: Proposal creation, engineering reviews and approvals follow consistent and well-governed processes across all engineering disciplines.
- Significant efficiency gains: Engineers quickly find the correct version of documents and avoid inconsistencies or misplaced content.
- A scalable and future-ready platform: M-Files supports Katoni's growth and provides a strong foundation for new AI capabilities and system integrations.
“Tracking and traceability in M-Files is just brilliant. There's no argument about it.” - Kevin MacGillivray, IT Manager, Katoni Engineering
