Case Study: Hecla Mining Company achieves faster, more accurate collaborative reporting with Workiva Wdesk

Hecla Finds a Silver Lining in Wdesk

Hecla Mining Company, a long-established precious metals producer based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, faced an antiquated reporting process that was slow, error-prone and hard to manage: only one person could edit documents at a time, version control and commenting were chaotic, and teams spent hours manually recalculating and searching for values during 10‑Q/10‑K and other reports.

Hecla adopted Wdesk’s cloud-based, single-document data model to link source data, automate calculations and enable simultaneous collaboration from anywhere. The change cut time and risk, let multiple users work in the same document, streamlined filings and monthly reports, avoided hiring to cover remote roles, and led the company to expand use of Wdesk (including Certification) across more reporting functions.
