Case Study: Carisch achieves $280,000+ in savings and streamlines AP/HR document management with Fortra (Webdocs)

Carisch, Inc. Saves $280,000+ with Electronic Document Management

Carisch, Inc., a Wayzata-based distributor for Arby’s franchises across multiple states, was bogged down by paper-based invoicing and HR records—managing thousands of W-2s and local service contracts made it slow, costly, and difficult to compare costs across stores.

By implementing HelpSystems Webdocs and document scanning with barcode-driven capture, Carisch automated AP invoice processing, synced scanned documents with their accounting system, and secured role-based access to HR files. The change enabled instant document retrieval, exposed contract discrepancies that yielded $250,000 in savings, uncovered another $30,000 in garbage-contract savings, and delivered more than $280,000 in immediate cost reductions plus ongoing efficiency gains.
