The Situation
As a mid-sized engineering firm with over 25 years of experience, Herrmann GmbH handles complex industrial projects involving thousands of technical documents per project - from CAD drawings to specifications, certifications, and correspondence.
The engineering team spent an estimated 30% of their time searching for documents, version-checking, and manually organizing project files. With projects spanning multiple years, maintaining document integrity was critical but increasingly difficult.
When a major automotive client required ISO 9001 compliant document management for a new production facility project, Herrmann GmbH knew they needed a modern solution.
Every engineering project generates 5,000-10,000 documents. Finding the right version of a drawing could take 20 minutes - time we couldn't bill to clients.
