Case Study: Brais, Malouin and Associates achieves improved collaboration and reduced project overhead with Document Locator

Document Locator helps BMA improve collaboration, manage project files

Brais, Malouin & Associates (BMA) is a Montreal–based energy engineering consulting firm that works on team-based projects for industries like mining, pulp and paper, metallurgy and petrochemical. Their shared file‑server workflow made sharing critical project email and faxes difficult, produced many duplicate file versions, and slowed onboarding because project histories weren’t centralized or easily searchable.

BMA implemented Document Locator for its right-sized feature set and tight Microsoft/Outlook integration. The system provides full‑text indexing, native‑format storage of email and faxes, version control with metadata, and built‑in PDF conversion. As a result, teams find information faster, new members ramp up with less manager time (saving roughly four hours on larger projects), communication trails are complete, and project overhead is reduced.
