Case Study: The DCD Group achieves 50% faster contractor onboarding with Laserfiche

How DCD Group Streamlined the Employment Process with Laserfiche Forms

DCD Group, a diversified engineering company with rail, mining & energy, marine and defense divisions, relies heavily on short-term contractors—its headcount can jump from 300 to 2,500 within days. That surge placed intense pressure on HR: foremen submitted paper requisitions, applicants completed duplicate paperwork, multiple departments re-entered data, and printing and signing contracts created long delays in getting people onto projects.

By deploying Laserfiche Forms and Workflow integrated with the Scubed HR system, DCD automated data capture, converted submissions to repository documents, populated its SQL employee database, and auto-generated pre-filled contracts and payroll forms with an electronic signature workflow. The result: onboarding time dropped from 45 to 15 minutes (about a 50% reduction), administrative effort was halved, employee files are centrally accessible via Scubed, and duplicate printing and manual data re-entry were eliminated.
