Case Study: Taggart Global achieves $760K annual savings with Synergis Software's Adept document management

Taggart Global Saves $760K a Year Using Adept Engineering Document Management At Every Step in the Project Process

Taggart Global, a multi‑disciplined EPC firm delivering FEED through full project delivery for resources and energy clients, was struggling to manage and track more than one million engineering documents across offices from Pittsburgh to Beijing. Manual processes—especially maintaining a drawing register and preparing transmittals—were costing the company roughly $760K a year in non‑billable, non‑design labor. To address this, Taggart Global turned to Synergis Software and its Adept engineering document management solution.

Synergis Software implemented Adept across the entire project lifecycle (RFP, estimating, design, construction and post‑construction), replacing Excel registers with an Adept SQL database, automating transmittals and audit trails, and integrating Crystal Reports for real‑time drawing registers. The result was clear transparency, tighter access control, and elimination of repetitive data entry—saving about $760K annually (roughly $360K from the drawing register and $400K from transmittal automation) while improving traceability and project efficiency.
