Case Study: St. Louis Public Schools achieves faster hiring and digitized HR records with Laserfiche

St. Louis Public School District Streamlines HR Management

St. Louis Public School District, which manages 70 schools and 4,700 employees, faced a heavy paper burden—more than 4.5 million documents stored offsite—that made HR workflows slow and opaque. Lengthy, multi-step approval processes and a 48-hour file retrieval delay regularly held up hiring and staffing decisions, risking classroom coverage.

By implementing Laserfiche to digitize archives and automate HR workflows, the district made records instantly accessible and collaborative. About 80% of HR records have been digitized, staffing requisitions now take three hours instead of three weeks, and the HR team can rapidly process W-2s, enrollments and emergency information to better support teachers and students.
