Case Study: Celerion achieves 100% training visibility and automates new‑hire onboarding with Brandfolder

Celerion automates clinical research management and employee onboarding using Smartsheet and Brandfolder

Celerion is a clinical research organization that helps pharmaceutical and biotech clients bring drugs to market and employs about 1,000 people across three sites. Faced with manual, paper-heavy administrative work, asset sprawl from outdated SharePoint folders, and chaotic new-hire onboarding—exacerbated by COVID-19 and the need to rapidly scale for a 200-participant study—Celerion needed a centralized, automated way to manage assets, training, and onboarding.

Celerion connected Brandfolder (digital asset management) with Smartsheet Control Center via API to build a centralized asset library and an automated new-hire onboarding toolkit that forecasts hires seven days out, creates role-specific dashboards and task lists, and enables mobile training. The changes delivered 100% visibility into training status, eliminated 99.9% of paper training documentation, expanded to 12 Brandfolder collections with broad employee access, sped participant recruitment, and streamlined workflows and executive reporting.
