Steps

Compare core modules: WeldNote focuses on WPS/PQR/WPQ document management with a "QMatrix" search across qualified procedures; WeldEye offers a broader modular suite (welding procedures/qualifications plus production tracking) that advertises roughly 10,000 pre-qualified procedures aligned to AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, and API 1104.
Start with WeldEye's free 14-day trial or a WeldNote demo to confirm coverage of your governing code before committing to either.
Ask each vendor directly for API/integration documentation — as of mid-2026 neither company publishes public REST API docs on its marketing site; integration with an ERP/MES appears to be a vendor-managed setup, not a self-serve developer key.
Confirm which welding codes/standards each platform's auto-calculated approval ranges actually cover for your shop (metric vs. imperial, D1.1 vs. Section IX vs. API 1104) before trusting a generated WPS.
Set up expiration alerts for welder WPQs in whichever platform you choose — both vendors advertise this as a core feature.

Known gotchas

No confirmed public developer API documentation exists for either WeldNote or WeldEye — treat "integrates with your ERP" marketing language as a vendor-managed integration project, not a self-serve API, until you get written API docs from sales/support.
Auto-generated "approval ranges" are only as good as the code edition loaded in the tool — verify the software is using the current code edition before relying on it for a real WPS.
