Exchange
Version control for construction documents
Alloovium Exchange treats a contract, specification, or management plan the way a version-control system treats source code: every revision is captured, every party's edits are attributable, and every read and acknowledgement lands in a write-once audit trail.
What it is
Exchange is the document layer of the Alloovium suite. It is built around the revision — not the folder, not the email attachment, not the SharePoint timestamp.
It runs on DOCX as a first-class format, with PDFs supported in the viewer for read-and-acknowledge flows.
Who it is for
Head contractors running subcontractor document packs on Australian infrastructure projects. The three-layer audit trail (person, organisation, credential) is what separates Exchange from a filename-suffix workflow.Capabilities
Four product surfaces, all anchored to the same write-once audit log:
- Clause-level diffs — see what changed between two DOCX revisions, clause by clause — not glyph by glyph.
- One revision, every party — issue once; every subcontractor sees the clauses that touch their scope and acknowledges against the revision.
- Audit dossier — signed, timestamped record of every revision, party, and acknowledgement — exportable for legal, the principal, or your indemnity insurer.
- Trade markups, merged — every sub's redlines roll back onto the head contractor's master with conflicts flagged at the clause they touch.
