Case Study: Gardan, Inc achieves paperless, secure document management and faster workflows with Square 9 Softworks' GlobalSearch

GlobalSearch® – The “Complete Package” Solution for Assembly and Packaging Specialists

Gardan, Inc., a U.S. mechanical assembly and packaging specialist that builds sub‑assemblies and kitting for OEMs, faced growing problems from paper‑based processes: overflowing filing cabinets, slow order processing, insecure access controls and difficulty finding documents. To move toward electronic workflows and better security they selected Square 9 Softworks’ GlobalSearch document management solution.

Square 9 Softworks implemented GlobalSearch company‑wide (since 2011) to digitize POs, vendor invoices, HR records, legal and compliance documents, and to add role‑based security, backups and custom workflows/annotations. The results include about 9,000 POs and 17,000 vendor invoices indexed, nearly all physical filing cabinets eliminated, document retrieval up to five minutes faster, streamlined invoice approvals and improved disaster recovery — delivering clear productivity, space and security gains for Gardan, Inc.
