Unifier Sync
Automated correspondence extraction and organization for EPC projects.
From Manual Correspondence Retrieval to Structured Contract Intelligence. Deployed on MAHSR T-3 — INR 3,142 Crore FIDIC Yellow Book.
Key Metrics
The Problem
Every contracts manager on an Oracle Unifier project knows this pain: extracting contractual correspondence requires manual clicking, downloading, filing, and organizing — consuming hours per batch cycle.
Manual Correspondence Download
50+ records × multiple clicks each = 3–4 hours per batch. Repetitive, error-prone, and unsustainable.
Document Controller Effort
Arbitration Preparation: Compiling organized correspondence for ICC arbitration requires days of manual sorting and filing.
Close-Out Documentation: Project close-out requires complete correspondence archives — manual compilation is slow and error-prone.
Claims Evidence: Missing even one document can weaken a claim position. Manual verification is unreliable.

Workflow
Case Study: MAHSR T-3
Challenge
The contracts team on the MAHSR T-3 Track Package faced a daily operational bottleneck: extracting contractual correspondence from Oracle Primavera Unifier required manual clicking, downloading, filing, and organizing.
Approach
Built a Python/Selenium automation that batch-processes Oracle Unifier correspondence, extracts COR numbers from the properties panel, and organizes files into date-and-reference-indexed folders.
Outcome
Lessons Learned
Practitioner-built beats developer-created: Understanding the exact Unifier workflow and pain points was essential for building effective automation.
Batch processing is transformative: Converting 50 individual operations into a single batch command delivered 85–90% time reduction.
Structured output enables downstream intelligence: Organized correspondence feeds into OCR Pipeline, Contract Forensics, and Claims Compiler.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unifier Sync?
Unifier Sync is a practitioner-built automation that batch-downloads PDF attachments from Oracle Primavera Unifier's Package Correspondence business process, organizes them into date-and-reference-named folders, and produces a defensible chronological archive ready for claims preparation and dispute resolution.
How does it work?
Unifier Sync uses Selenium WebDriver to interact with Oracle Unifier's JET UI. It navigates to the Package Correspondence business process, opens each record, extracts the COR number from the properties panel, downloads the PDF attachment, and organizes files into a structured folder hierarchy.
What is the time savings?
Manual downloading of 50 correspondence items takes 3–4 hours. Unifier Sync reduces this to approximately 15 minutes — an 85–90% time reduction. This frees up contracts managers to focus on higher-value analysis and claims preparation.
Is it secure?
Unifier Sync requires manual login — no passwords are stored. Each execution uses a unique Chrome profile for session isolation. The automation runs locally on the user's machine with no external data transmission.
What is the output format?
Files are organized into folders named YYYYMMDD-COR<number>-<reference>. Each folder contains the main correspondence PDF and any attachments. The output is ready for claims preparation, arbitration document production, and project close-out.
What FIDIC clauses does it support?
Unifier Sync supports Sub-Clause 20.1 (Contractor's Claims) by providing structured correspondence evidence. It also supports Sub-Clause 8.4 (Extension of Time) by organizing delay-related correspondence for claims preparation.
How is it deployed?
Unifier Sync is deployed on the MAHSR T-3 Track Package — INR 3,142 Crore FIDIC Yellow Book contract. It runs as a local Python script on the contracts manager's workstation with access to Oracle Primavera Unifier.
