Case Study: Transfreight saves 67% of content-migration time and 63% of security-update time with AvePoint DocAve

Transfreight Saves 67% of Time Required to Move Microsoft® SharePoint® Content and 63% of Time Required to Update Security Settings with DocAve®

Transfreight, a Kitchener, Ontario–based third‑party logistics provider, deployed Microsoft SharePoint for about 400 employees to centralize collaboration and automate workflows. Administrators struggled with moving content between development, test, and production farms and with updating permissions across the environment; initial third‑party tools failed and using PowerShell was slow, error‑prone, and time consuming.

They implemented AvePoint’s DocAve (Content Manager and Administrator) to provide a single, centralized console for cross‑farm content migration and bulk administration. DocAve cut time to deploy new team sites by 67% and reduced time to update permissions by 63%—completing a 20‑site collection migration in two business days (versus roughly three times longer with scripts) and finishing environment‑wide security updates in three weeks instead of two months—eliminating the need for additional SharePoint admin staff and delivering ongoing operational savings.
