Case Study: Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company improves document search and workflow efficiency with Square 9 Softworks

Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company saves 5-10 hours a week with Square 9 Softworks

Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO), a large Colorado-based water provider, faced significant challenges managing its vast historical records across multiple storage facilities. Staff wasted time searching through filing cabinets for documents, and the company needed a software solution that could integrate with its ArchView GIS system and simplify document search. After a year of research, FRICO selected Square 9 Softworks and implemented its GlobalSearch enterprise content management software.

Square 9's solution integrated directly with ArchView GIS and used OCR to make all documents easily searchable. The company also deployed the GlobalAction workflow engine to streamline approvals. This implementation saved FRICO between 5-10 administrative hours per week by drastically speeding up document retrieval and enabling real-time, written project approvals from the field. Square 9's software made the company much more efficient in managing its critical water supply information.
