Background

Strittmatter Companies (Strittmatter) is a family-owned and operated large construction company based out of Manassas Park, Virginia. They offer numerous construction-oriented services, including excavation, demolition, and equipment rentals for government, commercial and residential construction projects. With over 40 years of experience, they have provided timely, responsive and customer-oriented site work solutions.

Strittmatter is rapidly growing and needed to find ways to increase overall efficiency in back-office operations. To find a solution for this, they needed to provide a mechanism to find critical business content that was easy, accurate, and faster than finding documents and document information contained in paper documents. Project Managers and field personnel consistently needed information relating to construction jobs, including orders, bills, and invoices. Additionally, Strittmatter wanted technology that would allow individuals to be self-sufficient in finding the information that was needed without having to call or email another person.

Strittmatter was also using a paper-based process for Accounts Payable Invoice Approval. They used physical paper invoices, purchase orders, and daily receipts to ensure goods and services were received before sending payments to vendors.

Strittmatter made the decision to use M-Files, a metadata driven document management platform. It would serve not only as a repository for mission critical documents but also streamline processes by implementing Business Process Automation Workflows.

TEAM IM continues to provide ongoing Enhanced Development/Configuration support to Strittmatter as they need assistance with configuration changes as well as adding new use cases for content storage and workflows.
