Case Study: Horizon Industries saves storage space and scanning time with Square 9 Softworks GlobalSearch

Horizon Industries saves 12 GB and 110 work hours per employee with Square 9 Softworks

Horizon Industries, a non-profit manufacturing company that empowers blind Americans, faced significant inefficiencies in managing its paper-intensive sales orders and non-searchable digital documents. Their challenge was to reduce storage requirements and accelerate document retrieval, leading them to seek an ISO-compliant document management solution from vendor Square 9 Softworks using their GlobalSearch product.

Square 9 Softworks implemented GlobalSearch, which included Content Search to make PDF files text-searchable. The solution streamlined workflows across multiple departments, saving Horizon 12 GB of storage space initially, with ongoing savings of 3.33 GB (about 10,000 documents) per year. Most notably, Square 9's solution drastically reduced scanning labor, repurposing 110 work hours annually per employee and improving overall business efficiency.
