API 6A compliance software for oil & gas equipment manufacturers.
Unified control of equipment design, manufacturing and verification — connecting bills of material, work order workflow, documentation and performance data into one system that proves every product meets strict expectations for quality, performance and traceability.
THE CHALLENGE
Maintaining consistency across complex operations
Most teams understand what API Specification 6A requires. The difficulty comes from managing it consistently. Information exists across the organization, but it often lives in different places. Bills of material live in one system while work orders live in another. Inspection records are completed, but not always visible in context. Supplier data is available, but not always connected to production. When these gaps exist, even strong quality systems begin to feel difficult to manage.
API 6A depends on consistency — not just within a single process, but across design, procurement, manufacturing, and verification activities that often span multiple teams and locations. As operations grow, that consistency becomes harder to maintain. A revised BOM doesn't always reach the work order in time. Information is created at different points by different teams using different tools, and the connection between them is not always clear.
THE SOLUTION
Connect quality across the equipment lifecycle
Accupoint helps manufacturers bring structure to API 6A compliance with one connected platform — where bills of material, work order workflow, quality processes, documentation, and performance data work together, instead of managing documents, inspections, supplier data, and corrective actions separately.
A bill of material defines what should be built. A work order drives how it gets built and tracked on the floor. When both are connected to the same quality record, information is captured once, connected automatically, and made available where it is needed — creating a clear line of sight from design through manufacturing and final verification. Teams gain the ability to manage quality proactively, identify issues earlier, and maintain consistency across projects, products, and locations.

HOW ACCUPOINT HELPS
How Accupoint supports API 6A compliance
Bills of material and work order workflow, connected to quality
Every piece of equipment starts with a bill of material — and every BOM eventually becomes a work order on the floor. When those two records live apart from your quality system, revisions get missed and what's actually built can drift from what was specified. Accupoint keeps them connected:
Bills of material with structured revision control
Work orders generated directly from the current BOM revision
Work order status tracked from release through completion
Document control and inspection management, unified
API Specification 6A requires control across design validation, material traceability, inspection and testing, and final product acceptance. Managing these areas in isolation increases administrative effort and the risk of inconsistency. Accupoint supports these requirements by bringing structure to existing processes:
Document control with structured revisions and approvals
Inspection management tied directly to the work order and equipment record
Supplier oversight and corrective action tracking
Rather than introducing new layers of work, Accupoint simplifies how supplier quality and nonconformances are managed and demonstrated:
Supplier oversight tracked across projects and facilities
Corrective action tracking with clear accountability
Audit management and training records, in one place
Audit management and training records are managed within a single environment — supporting requirements without adding administrative burden:
Audit management for internal and customer audits
Training records aligned with equipment and process requirements
Improves traceability, reliability, and confidence
Traceability is at the center of API 6A compliance. Every component, process step, and verification activity must be documented and connected — starting with the bill of material and carrying through the work order that built it. When managed manually, this becomes time consuming and difficult to maintain.
Records are created and linked as work is completed
Every serialized part traces back to its BOM and originating work order
Confidence strengthens in product quality and field performance

Accupoint is a comprehensive SaaS software solution tailored for valve manufacturers. It simplifies compliance with the stringent requirements of API Specification 6A by automating documentation, tracking manufacturing processes, and generating reports — helping manufacturers meet standards for design, materials, and testing procedures.
Both. Accupoint keeps your bills of material and work order workflow connected to the same quality record — so work orders are generated from the current BOM revision, and every inspection or nonconformance ties directly back to the work order and part it affects, instead of living in a separate system.
Accupoint provides automated tools to manage critical documentation and testing protocols, tracking each stage of the manufacturing process from design and material selection to testing and certification — reducing the likelihood of non-compliance and speeding up certification.
Yes — Accupoint is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing ERP and manufacturing software tools, ensuring data flows smoothly between systems, reducing manual data entry, and maintaining consistent compliance records.
Accupoint offers robust validation tools that cross-check materials, designs, and testing procedures against API 6A standards in real time, providing automatic alerts if any aspect of the process deviates from the required specifications.
