Case Study: Cequent Consumer Products achieves paperless, automated forms processing and improved compliance with Fortra (HelpSystems)

Forms Keep on Trucking at Cequent with the Help of Fortra

Cequent Consumer Products, a TriMas company and longtime designer and manufacturer of vehicle towing and accessory systems, faced slow, error-prone paper processes across finance, purchasing and IT. The company needed an automated form production, routing and content-management solution that integrated with its IBM i systems, created searchable indexes, reduced manual filing and prevented misfiled or lost documents.

Cequent implemented HelpSystems Webforms, iForms and Webdocs to create browser-based data entry and validation, convert spool files into formatted plain-paper prints, and store and index documents for fast retrieval. The result was automated workflows, fewer bottlenecks, eliminated lost forms, lower printing costs, tighter SOX controls with access/audit trails and seamless IBM i integration—backed by responsive HelpSystems support.
