Case Study: GAL Manufacturing Corporation achieves centralized, CAD-integrated document management with Synergis Software's Adept

G.A.L. Manufacturing Elevates Document Management to a New Level

GAL Manufacturing Corporation, an electromechanical engineering firm that supplies elevator parts to top contractors including Schindler, Otis, ThyssenKrupp and Kone, faced the need to retire a legacy document management system. They required a solution to organize and historically track designs, tightly integrate with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor, enable cross‑team collaboration, and provide APIs to link ERP and intranet systems. GAL selected Synergis Software’s Adept to deliver the speed, CAD integration, ease of use, and thin desktop footprint they needed.

Synergis Software implemented Adept as a centralized, CAD‑integrated vault that enforces version control and stores “certified” revisions, streamlines CAD-to-NC workflows (DXF → NC → automated fabrication), and extends access from engineering into sales and manufacturing. The deployment produced faster, more accurate response across the value chain, eliminated reliance on physical drawings, reduced risk to intellectual property, and lowered user maintenance costs through a thin client—yielding clear operational improvements in document governance, collaboration, and time‑to‑manufacture.
