Case Study: GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited achieves reduced risk and greater efficiency with Nintex Workflow

Engineering Firm Automates Transmittal Processes to Reduce Risk, Gain Efficiency

GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited, a UK engineering firm that designs and manages construction of minerals extraction plants, relied on a slow, inflexible legacy system to handle complex, version‑controlled project documentation and client transmittals. That inadequate system risked sending incorrect specifications, causing site delays, equipment errors and budget overruns.

Working with partner PointBeyond, GBM integrated Nintex Workflow with SharePoint 2010 to automate document numbering, metadata, staged approvals (including email “LazyApproval”), publishing to an extranet and the transmittal process. The solution reduced risk and errors, improved engineering productivity and client satisfaction, delivered a complete audit trail, enabled easy future configuration and lowered total costs; GBM now plans to extend automation into HR and finance.
