Don't just search your
engineering library.
Build from it.
Find any answer across your team's PDFs and spreadsheets — with citations. Turn it into a calculator anyone can re-use. Then print the report, on your letterhead, ready to send.

“Pipelines is an incredibly intuitive tool for stringing together calculations into a seamless workflow. It has the potential to massively speed up tedious and repetitive calculations.”

“Fontana took my Excel spreadsheets and turned them into professional engineering calc sheets I can trust — versioned, consistent, and impossible to accidentally break.”

“Every engineering project is different. Most calc software gives you a fixed library and expects the job to fit it — Fontana lets us build a bespoke calc for the project in front of us. That flexibility has been invaluable.”
How It Works
One connected workflow — from question to deliverable
Upload your team's documents once. Ask questions in plain language and get cited answers linked to the exact page.
Turn answers into interactive calculators — or import the Excel calcs you already trust. Sliders, checks, and version history built in.
Drop the results into a report template. Fields fill themselves; print to PDF on your letterhead.
Ask your library a question. Get a cited answer.
Fontana searches every PDF, design guide, supplier catalog, and internal spec your team has uploaded — and answers in plain language, with every claim linked to the exact page.
Citations you can check
Every answer links back to its source page, with a relevance score on each chunk used.
Tables, not just text
Steel sections and material data live natively in the database — ask comparative questions, get exact values.
One library, whole firm
Personal docs, organisation libraries, and shared resources, searched together.
01 → 02 · From answer to tool
You found the formula — with the source to prove it. Don't retype it into a spreadsheet.
Turn the answer into a calculator your whole team runs.
Generate a calc straight from a search result, drag in an existing Excel sheet, or describe what you need in plain English. Every calc gets sliders, pass/fail checks, and a printable calc sheet.
Every formula visible
Formulas are tabulated, colour-coded, and editable — no hunting through someone else's cells.
Your Excel library, imported
Drag spreadsheets in; Fontana converts them with formulas preserved — no rewrite.
Versioned and chained
Full revision history on every calc, and pipelines that feed one calc's outputs into the next.
02 → 03 · From numbers to deliverable
The numbers check out. Now produce the document you actually send — without opening Word.
Your numbers, on your letterhead, out the door.
Adequacy certificates, site reports, cover letters — anything you write up in Word today becomes a reusable template. Project details fill themselves, signatures drop in, and the result prints to PDF on your firm's letterhead.
Start from your Word docs
Upload an existing DOCX and Fontana detects the fill-in fields automatically.
Fields that fill themselves
Engineer name, project number, site address — resolved from project context, never retyped.
Versioned and verified
Every issued report keeps its revision history, with side-by-side diffs and an org-admin verification stamp.
See it work on your own docs.
Book a 15-minute demo. We'll search a real document, build a calculator from the answer, and print the report — live.
