Case Study: Sartomer achieves streamlined engineering document management and version control across multiple plant sites with Synergis Software (Adept)

Global Chemical Leader Sartomer Steps Up to Engineering Document Management at Multiple Process Plant Sites

Sartomer, a global chemical leader that manufactures specialty resins, faced growing problems managing 2D engineering drawings and related project documents across multiple plant sites. Microsoft Explorer was inadequate: files were hard to find, people were editing the same drawings simultaneously, and there was no organized central repository. To address this, Sartomer chose Adept from Synergis Software as their engineering document management solution.

Synergis Software installed and trained Sartomer’s administrators and users (about one week), and Sartomer loaded all engineering documents and configured Adept Library Cards within the first month, with plant rollouts completed in a single day. Adept provided check-in/check-out controls, automatic DWG metadata extraction, and a built-in viewer so non-CAD users can view drawings; the result was clearer version control, improved document security and accessibility, rapid adoption at sites like Virginia and West Chester, and a platform to support OSHA-related document management going forward.
