Case Study: Anderson Construction Ltd. achieves auditability and streamlined operations with M-Files

Case Study: Anderson Construction Ltd.

Anderson Construction Ltd., a Christchurch and North Canterbury specialist in pre-engineered buildings, struggled with a document‑intensive workflow—often 100–200+ documents per project—and the inefficiencies of manual filing, poor searchability and limited version traceability. After acquiring a new franchise and seeking to minimize overheads, the team needed a solution to locate documents by content, track changes, enforce workflows and maintain material traceability across projects.

Partnering with Manux, Anderson deployed M-Files, a metadata-driven document management system that delivered fast search, version control, automated workflows (for example, invoice approval and coding), and mobile access for on‑site staff. The quick implementation made the office nearly paperless, improved audit readiness and operational discipline, ensured document integrity and traceability, and saved up to one full‑time equivalent in administrative time.
