Cubility

The starting point: when paper folders hit their limits

By 2010, Cubility’s engineering team had successfully moved from R&D to full-scale production of the MudCube®, a groundbreaking, enclosed system that replaces traditional shale shakers and minimizes drilling waste. But with commercial success came operational complexity.

As orders increased, Cubility’s four-person core team suddenly had to track thousands of part numbers, revisions, and safety certificates for every unit delivered.

“Once we started commercialising in 2012, we realised we needed a real documentation system,” recalls a Cubility team member. “Without it, traceability would break the moment a part was replaced.”

Paper folders and network drives simply couldn’t keep up. What the team needed was a single, reliable source of truth for every product, document, and certification, a foundation that could grow with their innovation.

The Highstage moment: instant control & traceability

The turning point came the day Cubility loaded its first project into Highstage. The chaos was replaced with structure and visibility.

Certificates, material declarations, and exploded-view drawings were no longer “in bits and pieces” across shared drives. With a single click, the team could see every serial-numbered component that shipped with a specific MudCube back in 2012, along with its current substitute.

“That level of traceability is critical for product approvals and service,” says the team. “Highstage gave us control right from day one.”

Measurable wins

Highstage quickly became more than just a documentation system; it became the central nervous system of Cubility’s engineering and production.

• One shared document library
  Engineers create a drawing once; if it’s revised, the update ripples automatically to every project folder.

• Project-centred mindset
  Highstage’s start–execute–close workflow builds structure into every project, replacing ad-hoc spreadsheets with built-in project control.

• Zero hunting for files
  Procurement, design, and production all access the same BOM and certificate set, no duplicates, no version anxiety, no wasted time.

Life with Highstage in three words

Procurement. Design. Production.

That’s where the system lives day-to-day—and for the Cubility team, it “just feels natural.”

They initially expected a simple document vault. Instead, they discovered a full PLM platform that not only manages documents but also connects parts, projects, and processes.

“Highstage combines documentation with a robust parts module,” the team notes.

A partnership built on precision

For more than a decade, Highstage has been integral to Cubility’s growth, supporting the company as it scales globally while maintaining the traceability and compliance demanded by the oil and gas sector.

From R&D through after-market service, Cubility now operates with confidence knowing every part, certificate, and project is in perfect sync.

Their advice to peers?

“If you want one source of truth for every part, certificate, and project, from development to delivery, go with Highstage.”
