Case Study: Velocys achieves centralized document control and faster workflows with Qualtrax

Founded in 2001, Velocys is a subsidiary of Battelle Memorial Institute

Velocys, founded in 2001 as a Battelle subsidiary, develops nanotechnology-based microchannel processing systems for chemical and energy customers. As a newly formed company preparing for future ISO 9000 compliance, Velocys needed a secure, electronic way to manage documents and core business processes and quickly ruled out a basic in-house shared-drive solution.

They selected Qualtrax for its strong revision control and workflow capabilities and deployed it company-wide for all 55 employees. Qualtrax became the central repository for documents, procedures, work instructions, budgets and schedules and automated workflows for procurement, fabrication, non-conformance, training and teleconferences. The result was faster, more efficient processes, improved traceability and audit readiness, reliable vendor support, and a scalable system that can integrate with future MRP plans.
