What Viewport does

Assai (legal entity operating the Viewport product line) is an Amsterdam-based, privately held software company founded in 2010 that delivers technical information management solutions for asset-intensive industries. Its flagship product, Assai Viewport, is an AI-powered technical information platform launched in May 2025 that provides a unified, browser-based view across documents, drawings, equipment tags, and live operational data. The platform applies OCR, pattern recognition, and intelligent linking across 140+ file types, including CAD drawings, scanned PDFs, and specialized engineering formats, enabling engineers and operators to locate, contextualize, and act on technical information regardless of source system.

The technology stack integrates with major enterprise and operational systems including AVEVA PI, OPC UA, SharePoint, SAP, and CMMS, allowing Viewport to overlay real-time sensor values (temperature, flow, pressure) directly onto drawings and P&IDs without requiring changes to customers' existing IT landscapes. The platform supports continuous data integrity monitoring, detecting gaps, outdated documents, and inconsistencies such as tag mismatches before go-live. Viewport is sold as a standalone product, alongside Assai DMS (document management), or as part of Assai Enterprise (end-to-end data coordination and live workflows).

Assai generates revenue through subscription-based software licensing, primarily via a demo-driven enterprise field sales motion targeting oil and gas, petrochemical, utilities, renewable energy, mining, and construction buyers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is small (11–50 employees), has not disclosed external funding, and operates with content-driven marketing (publications, blog, events such as Subsea Expo) supplemented by direct enterprise engagement. Viewport's documented customer outcomes include detecting 1,200+ tag mismatches pre-go-live and reducing incident response time from weeks to days.

Core offering

Viewport (doing business as Assai Viewport) develops an AI-powered technical information platform that provides a unified, browser-based view across documents, drawings, equipment tags, and live operational data for asset-intensive industries. The software uses pattern recognition, OCR, and intelligent linking across 140+ file types, integrates with existing systems such as AVEVA PI, OPC UA, SharePoint, SAP, and CMMS, and overlays real-time sensor data (temperature, flow, pressure) on P&IDs and engineering drawings to support safer, faster operational decisions.

Product overview

Assai offers a portfolio of technical information management solutions centered around its core platform. Assai Viewport serves as the AI-powered unified access layer for technical information (documents, drawings, equipment data, and live operational data). It can be deployed standalone or alongside Assai DMS (document management) and Assai Enterprise (end-to-end data coordination and live workflows) for organizations seeking comprehensive information management environments. Additional platform components include Security and Integrations modules, with professional implementation services available.

Direct peers

• AVEVA: AVEVA provides industrial software for asset-intensive industries including P&ID management, engineering information, and operational data platforms (AVEVA PI). Viewport integrates directly with AVEVA PI while serving overlapping customers in oil & gas, utilities, and infrastructure — competing for the same technical information management wallet.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley's iTwin and AssetWise platforms manage infrastructure and industrial asset information across lifecycles, with strong positions in utilities, energy, and infrastructure — the same verticals Viewport targets. Both companies unify engineering documents, drawings, and operational data for asset-intensive operators.
• Hexagon: Hexagon's HxGN SDx and j5 Operations Integrity platforms serve asset-intensive operations with document, drawing, and live operational data unification — directly overlapping Viewport's positioning in oil & gas, petrochemicals, and utilities.
• ABBYY: ABBYY specializes in OCR and intelligent document processing technology applied across enterprise workflows. Viewport uses similar OCR + pattern recognition capabilities but extends them into asset-intensive vertical contexts (P&IDs, tags, scanned engineering drawings), making ABBYY a technology-level peer.
• Tungsten Automation (Kofax): Tungsten Automation (formerly Kofax) is an established IDP and document automation vendor with deep OCR, capture, and process automation capabilities. It competes for the same intelligent document processing budget that Viewport addresses, particularly where legacy content must be digitized and linked.
• M-Files: M-Files provides AI-driven intelligent information management that automatically links documents, metadata, and related objects across systems — conceptually similar to Viewport's AI-powered intelligent linking. Both target knowledge-intensive organizations seeking unified views across disconnected repositories.
• DocuWare: DocuWare delivers cloud document management and intelligent workflow automation, with capabilities in document capture, indexing, and cross-system linking. It competes for similar IDP-adjacent use cases, though without Viewport's deep asset-intensive vertical specialization and live operational data overlays.

Broad incumbents

• OpenText: OpenText is a broad enterprise content management incumbent that handles document capture, OCR, and content workflows at scale across industries. While not specialized in asset-intensive engineering information, it overlaps with Viewport's document management and IDP capabilities as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Siemens (COMOS / Digital Industries): Siemens offers engineering and plant documentation software (COMOS, Teamcenter integration) for process and energy industries, serving the same asset-intensive customers as Viewport but as part of a much broader industrial automation and digital industries portfolio.
• Honeywell Forge: Honeywell Forge Connected Plant and asset performance offerings unify operational data and engineering information for industrial operators. It overlaps with Viewport's live data + document integration pitch but is bundled into a far larger industrial software suite.
