Case Study: Digi-Key Corporation achieves streamlined document and training management and increased productivity with ComplianceQuest

World’s Largest Electronics Components Distributor Uses ComplianceQuest to Manage Document and Training Lifecycle

Digi‑Key Corporation, one of the world’s largest electronic components distributors with 4,500+ employees and rapid expansion (including a new 2.2M sq ft warehouse and >60% growth), struggled with fragmented, inflexible EQMS tools that made document search, training, and user adoption difficult. An internal committee selected ComplianceQuest’s next‑generation Enterprise Quality and Safety Management System (EQMS) — built on Salesforce — with an initial emphasis on Document and Training Management to address scalability, usability, and standardization gaps.

ComplianceQuest implemented its EQMS, migrating over 20,000 Word/PDF documents (covering 80+ manuals) and Digi‑Key’s employee directory, and delivered features such as full‑text search, favorites, mobile access, single sign‑on, automated user provisioning, and training assignment/notifications. The result was higher user adoption and confidence, streamlined training workflows that ensure employees receive role‑specific training and certification, measurable content migration, and increased efficiency that lets Digi‑Key do more with less while providing a scalable platform for future growth.
