Case Study: Beiersdorf AG achieves a single source of global document information with Accruent's Meridian

Modernizing Document Management for the Pioneer of Skincare Innovation

Beiersdorf, the 140-year‑old pioneer of modern skincare with global brands like Nivea and Eucerin, faced a critical IT challenge when its aging document management license was about to expire. The real estate team risked losing about 15,000 business‑critical plans and needed a fast, standalone solution that would give architects and planners worldwide secure, centralized access and the ability to extend to other divisions.

Beiersdorf implemented Accruent Meridian—initially on‑premises, then cloud—scanning and importing historical documents, linking technical files to assets, and enabling AutoCAD integration. The new system simplified permissions and workflows, created one single structured plan for all employees, improved cross‑department communication, reduced time spent finding and updating engineering documents, and made secure external sharing and approval archiving far easier.
