Case Study: Canal Barge Company improves offline document control and compliance with Egnyte

Canal Barge Company halves task times with Egnyte

Canal Barge Company, a marine transport operator, faced a document management challenge between its shore-based operations and towboats. With unreliable connectivity onboard, crews could not access corporate data, and consumer-grade solutions like Dropbox led to files being overwritten and a lack of version control. The company needed a simple, digital solution with proper document version control to share navigational reports and ensure compliance manuals were always up-to-date for audits.

Egnyte provided the solution with its platform, which offered offline access to documents and granular permission sets. This ensured regulatory manuals were always accessible and easy to use for the crews. The results included rapid user adoption due to the intuitive interface and significant efficiency gains. Processes like updating an operations manual were digitized, saving thousands of dollars, and tasks such as requisitions that once took hours were reduced to minutes.
