Efficient organisation of documents with digital mailroom

Significant time savings through M-Files digital mailroom solution

Viaduct is a company based in Odorheiu Secuiesc in Romania, specialised in civil, industrial, road and bridge construction, rainwater and sewage works. Present on the local market since 1994, the company today enjoys a solid reputation by gaining the trust of its clients thanks to successful construction projects.

The company has a team of well-trained and talented engineers and builders. In addition to its own employees, the company collaborates with a significant number of subcontractors.

Previously, Viaduct had an analogue, physical archive, which entailed time-consuming searches for documents. There was also a loss of documents that were not registered in the system. Therefore, Viaduct decided to implement the M-Files digital mailroom solution, which also includes an OCR system to capture relevant data from scanned documents. The migration to an electronic system has led to significant time savings in document management. Employees are now able to quickly retrieve documents and information through M-Files’ user-friendly interface.

With the implementation of the Digital Mailroom solution, we have managed to streamline the document registration procedure within our company, and the application is now used extensively by our employees who have benefited from training and consultancy from the Konica Minolta team. We recommend M-Files implemented by Konica Minolta team as a great option for organisations looking to improve document management efficiency.

In order to optimise internal work activities and the IT solutions used, Viaduct wanted to implement a system that would simplify the procedure for recording incoming and outgoing documents. The company also wanted a document management system with a user-friendly interface, in which document searches could be performed easily, reports could be generated without the intervention of the solution provider, and document work processes could start right from the board of the multifunctional equipment.
