Case Study: Schnitzer Steel, Inc. achieves 60% faster workflows and nearly 200 hours saved on HR reviews with Nintex

Schnitzer Steel manufactures workflows 60% faster with Nintex

Schnitzer Steel Industries, a leading U.S. metal recycler and manufacturer, struggled with slow, error-prone HR and corporate processes built on spreadsheets, SharePoint Designer/InfoPath, manual approvals and paper signatures. Complex forms and poor process visibility made onboarding and performance reviews time-consuming and difficult to track.

By deploying Nintex Workflow for Office 365 and Nintex Forms across HR and other functions, Schnitzer automated onboarding, status changes and performance reviews for 2,100 employees and synchronized form data with its ADP payroll system. The change made workflows 60% faster, cut development lead-time by two weeks, reduced review-check time by 75%, and saved nearly 200 working hours on performance reviews—freeing HR and managers to support a growing workforce more effectively.
