Case Study: RPC Land Surveyors cuts search time by 95% with 12d Synergy

RPC Land Surveyors’ CDE Saved Resources

RPC Land Surveyors, a New Zealand cadastral surveying firm with two offices, was struggling to manage more than 7,300 archived jobs and hundreds of new jobs each year. Using Excel spreadsheets, File Explorer, and inbox-based file storage made it difficult to find job data, maintain structure, and collaborate efficiently, costing the team around 200 hours a year and about NZD $25,000 in lost billable time. They turned to 12d Synergy’s common data environment to improve access and organisation.

12d Synergy implemented a centralised system with Spatial Search, standardised folders and templates, permission controls, and full version control, plus Abtrac integration for automatic job creation. This gave RPC Land Surveyors a single source of truth for files, documents, and emails, improved collaboration across offices and in the field, and eliminated duplicated work and manual data entry. The measurable impact was significant: search time dropped by 95%, from about 200 hours a year to around 10 hours, saving time, money, and resources.
