Case Study: Thurber Engineering achieves better collaboration and knowledge sharing with ThoughtFarmer

How an engineering company leveraged their intranet as a knowledge repository

Thurber Engineering, a 500-employee engineering firm with 14 offices across Canada, was struggling to manage collaboration and communications in its old SharePoint intranet. With no easy way to centralize documents, find colleagues, or share expertise across branches, the company needed a better way to support knowledge sharing and employee engagement.

ThoughtFarmer provided the new intranet, Trapezoid, along with Professional Services and FormFlow to help Thurber launch quickly, customize navigation, and automate processes. The result was strong adoption, with at least 50% of employees using the platform regularly, plus improved onboarding, better transparency, and time-saving workflows like an auto-populating vacation calendar.
