About Us
From Workshop Pain Point to Global Software Solution
PipeCloud was created to solve a very specific problem inside one of Europe’s leading marine pipe fabrication companies. At ARDOR, Finland’s largest marine pipe prefabrication workshop, we experienced the same frustrations many fabrication teams face: disconnected spreadsheets, costly design changes, and delays caused by manual coordination. Traditional manufacturing execution systems (MES) simply were not built for the kind of highly customized, high-volume production that pipe prefabrication requires.
So we built something better.
What started as an internal project at ARDOR quickly proved to be a game changer. PipeCloud increased productivity, reduced material waste, and helped the entire team work smarter. Encouraged by this success, we decided to turn PipeCloud into a full-featured software platform available to fabricators and shipbuilders around the world.
Our Mission: Make Pipe Prefabrication Smarter, Faster, and More Accessible
Our mission is simple: to bring digital transformation to every pipe prefabrication workshop, regardless of size. We believe production should be transparent, traceable, and optimized. No more guesswork. No more reactive firefighting. PipeCloud helps teams shift from manual, disconnected workflows to proactive, data-driven operations.
We are committed to making advanced tools easy to use. That means no complex IT setup, no bloated features, and no long training cycles. Just a clear path to better productivity and better outcomes for your business.
Who We Serve
PipeCloud is designed specifically for pipe prefabrication professionals. Whether you are running a growing pipe shop or managing a complex project across multiple shipyards, our system adapts to your scale.
We support:
- Small workshops looking to reduce manual work and improve delivery times
- Large shipyards and EPC contractors who need traceability, real-time tracking, and centralized planning
- Production planners, welders, fitters, and supervisors who want better visibility into tasks, capacity, and progress
- Management teams focused on streamlining operations and increasing return on equipment and labor investments
What Makes PipeCloud Different
Unlike generic MES systems or isolated point solutions, PipeCloud is purpose-built for the unique challenges of prefabricated piping. Every pipe spool is a one-off product, and your software should be able to handle that complexity.
Here is what sets PipeCloud apart:
- Cloud-based and scalable, suitable for single-site shops or multi-yard operations
- PCF-compatible, with automated extraction of spool structures and work phases from CAD files
- A fully integrated workflow from offer calculation to dispatch, all in one system
- Real-time visibility into cutting, welding, fitting, and other phases
- Digital traceability for welds, materials, labor time, and machine activity
- Fast user onboarding, with most shop floor workers learning the system in under an hour
With PipeCloud, fabrication becomes a connected, coordinated, and controlled process. There is no need for patchwork tools or paper-based tracking.
Proven Results
We know it works because we have used it ourselves.
For our customers, the impact of PipeCloud has been measurable:
- 30% increase in productivity
- Up to 10% less material waste
- Nearly 80% of work planning fully automated
- More than 300,000 pipe spools produced using the system
These numbers reflect real-world gains in efficiency, cost control, and shop floor communication. Our customers across industries see similar improvements when they switch from fragmented systems to PipeCloud’s connected approach. Of course, the benefits are much more detailed than just the numbers highlighted above.
How We Work and What We Value
PipeCloud is built by industry professionals who understand the day-to-day realities of prefabrication. We believe the best software does not just digitize. It makes people’s jobs easier.
That is why we focus on:
- Clarity through visual dashboards, role-specific views, and intuitive interfaces
- Collaboration by enabling shared data across teams, contractors, and customers
- Continuous improvement through weekly updates, customer-requested features, and ongoing support
- Flexibility with customizable modules, ERP integrations, and pricing that scales with your needs
Our team works closely with customers to tailor the system to their production environment, provide hands-on onboarding, and offer long-term support as operations evolve.
