Case Study: IPI Solutions achieves 75% reduction in time on task with Foxit Software's PDF SDK

Improving Engineering Through Collaborative Pdfs

IPI Solutions provides the Visual Integrated Process Improvement (Visual IPI) platform to manufacturing sectors (aerospace, automotive, defense, energy) across 9 countries and 2,500+ customers. They needed a simple, external-facing way for busy engineers to upload, annotate and review large vector CAD PDFs in real time to remove feedback bottlenecks; their previous provider caused out-of-memory errors by rasterizing detailed drawings.

By integrating Foxit’s PDF SDK, IPI enabled fast, high-quality handling of large vector PDFs so teams can annotate and collaborate remotely without delays, sharing data via SQL Server or local/network repositories. The change delivered a 75% reduction in time-on-task overall, preserved fine-detail review (down to the smallest screw), and streamlined supply-chain feedback and communication.
