Case Study: Merichem Company achieves greater efficiency, control and faster data‑book turnaround with Laserfiche

Merichem Increases Efficiency and Control in the Fast Changing Oil and Gas Industry

Merichem, a global provider of specialty chemical and service solutions for the oil and gas industry, faced mounting pressure from fast-changing markets and strict regulations (ISO, ASME and others). Manual, paper-driven workflows — including version control, access tracking and the assembly of massive customer data books — created delays, overtime and risk to quality and compliance across its multi‑office, international operations.

Working with solution provider Accelerated Information Systems, Merichem implemented Laserfiche to centralize documents, enforce granular access control, enable OCR/searchable metadata and automate approvals and data‑book compilation. The result: project assistant labor on document distribution dropped by roughly 250 hours per project, data‑book assembly fell from a week to 30 minutes–2 hours, information accuracy and traceability improved, and customer turnaround and regulatory compliance became faster and more reliable.
