Tagsight for independent controls consultants
You are a one or two person shop. You bill by the hour, and too much of every job goes to re-typing tags off a drawing set into a spreadsheet before the engineering even starts. That transcription is unbillable, and it is the part of the quote a client cannot see the value in.
Read one of your own drawings.
Drop a P&ID, instrument index, or schedule. Tagsight reads it to the tag and opens a workspace you keep when you sign in.

What you do today.
- Build the transcription time into the quote, where the client cannot see it
- Re-type the I/O list by hand before the real work starts
- Flat-bill the job so the transcription stays hidden
- Take on fewer jobs, because each one carries more low-value hours than it should
What changes with Tagsight.
- Read the drawing set into the I/O list up front, and spend the engagement on the engineering the client hired you for
- Quote the engineering rather than the typing, and let the rate reflect the work that matters
- Hand the client an I/O list where every tag traces to its source page, not a spreadsheet you typed alone
- The pay-as-you-go pack fits a one or two person practice, with no subscription to carry between engagements
Where it fits in your week.
Solo retrofit job
A small mill asks you to refresh the I/O list before a PLC swap. The transcription that used to open the job is done up front, so the engagement is spent on the engineering you were hired for rather than on re-keying tags.
Bid for a larger client
A mid-sized integrator subcontracts the controls slice on a 200-page brownfield job. You bid against far larger firms, and the difference is that your bid is not padded with transcription the client never sees.
On-call controls support
An existing client emails a marked-up P&ID and asks for an updated I/O list. You compare the previous and current revision, send back the change report, and the turnaround is the engineering judgement, not the re-typing.
FAQ.
Is the pay-as-you-go pack enough for a one-person practice.
It fits that shape of work. A pack is a one-time purchase of drawings that stay on your account until you use them, with no subscription to carry between jobs and no card kept on file. When a continuous run of work makes a reserved monthly block worthwhile, Pro is there, but nothing forces the step up.
What about confidentiality on client drawings.
Drawings stay attached to your account and are not used for training. Per-project workspaces keep client data isolated from one engagement to the next.
