Case Study: Kavanagh Industries achieves 75% faster document retrieval and paperless workflows with M-Files

Kavanagh Industries Streamlines Document Control Using Paperless Workflows With M-files

Kavanagh Industries, a large Australian sheetmetal ductwork and metal fabrication manufacturer based in Western Sydney, was hampered by manual, paper-based document control. Teams relied on printed drawings and physical filing, which caused confusion over the latest revisions, slow retrieval, poor collaboration between departments, and risks to scalability and compliance.

Working with Storata, Kavanagh implemented M‑Files’ metadata-driven document management to provide mobile access, version control, secure sharing and workflow automation. The change cut the time to find the latest production drawings by about 75%, eliminated paper handoffs, provided full audit trails and improved order tracking—boosting productivity, customer response times and overall operational quality.
