Case Study: Nexterra Systems Corp. achieves 45% reduction in project hours with Synergis Software's Adept document management

Global Clean, Renewable Energy Leader, Nexterra Systems, Reduces Project Hours by 45% with Adept Engineering Document Management

Nexterra Systems Corp., a British Columbia–based leader in industrial-scale biomass gasification, faced costly project delays and duplicated engineering work caused by fragmented document control (local drives and email) and inconsistent CAD standards across mechanical, electrical and procurement teams. To address these challenges Nexterra selected Adept, the document management system from Synergis Software, to centralize parts data, enforce design standards and improve cross‑department collaboration.

Synergis Software implemented Adept with staged training, data migration, a new part‑numbering scheme, workflow-driven approvals and integrated bill‑of‑materials handling, enabling synchronized AutoCAD/Inventor standards and controlled document releases. The change brought measurable gains: a 45% reduction in project hours on a recent job, project schedules cut from eight to six months, an estimated 25% time savings by eliminating communication errors, elimination of revision mistakes and support calls, and substantially improved procurement and engineering collaboration.
