Case Study: Heartland Express achieves under-15-minute Section 16 filings and streamlined SEC reporting with Workiva's Wdesk Section 16 Solution

Wdesk Delivers for Heartland Express

Heartland Express, a leader in truckload transportation in North Liberty, Iowa, had relied on Wdesk for SEC reporting but struggled with Section 16 filings using the SEC’s online application, which wouldn’t save or download work, timed out, and forced staff to recreate documents—making Section 16 reports take well over an hour.

By adopting Wdesk’s Section 16 Solution, Heartland moved to secure cloud storage that retains shareholder data, footnotes, and prior forms so information rolls forward with each filing; reports can be shared, edited, and validated online. The result: faster, more consistent filings and a dramatic time savings—Section 16 reports that once took over an hour now take under 15 minutes.
