Case Study: Holcim streamlines engineering document control and reduces delays with McLaren Software

Holcim looks to McLaren Software to streamline construction document control process

Holcim, a global leader in cement and aggregates, faced a resource‑intensive document control challenge: up to 20,000 engineering documents per project were being tracked with spreadsheets and email, slowing reviews and risking errors. The company needed an automated, single document‑management process deployed quickly for two capital projects in Australia and Brazil within about 50 days.

McLaren Software deployed its McLaren Enterprise (Vendor Document Management and Transmittals) solution in 54 days for ~100 users, enabling supplier uploads, automatic validation, parallel electronic mark‑ups and closed‑loop review workflows. The result was a streamlined, more transparent process with fewer delays, reduced internal effort and costs, improved security and systems integration, and plans to expand the platform to additional projects and regions.
