Case Study: Woods achieves faster data transfer and seamless collaboration with 12d Synergy

Woods Faster data transfer for international collaboration

Woods, a New Zealand employee-owned multidisciplinary consultancy, needed a better way to manage engineering project files and business documents across offices and remote locations. Its existing system could not handle 12d Model projects well, and staff were forced to zip files, email them, or use Dropbox, which was slow and prone to duplication. Woods turned to 12d Synergy to improve file handling and business processes.

12d Synergy was implemented for 12d Model and user library files, giving Woods simple check-in/check-out control and access to a single source of truth for project data. The result was faster collaboration and much easier file transfer, with updates that previously took hours now completed in minutes and up to 90% of data transfer saved. 12d Synergy also eliminated duplication, improved version control and backups, and supported flexible working from home or overseas.
