Level 1 Fasteners implements Questys Solutions Document Management software
Huntington, WV (Vocus) July 23, 2008 -- When creating products that keep the men and women of the United States Navy safe, Level 1 Fasteners has been trusted to produce the finest quality parts for over forty years.
With this trust also comes the responsibility of complying with the record-keeping regulations of the United States Navy, where Level 1 Fasteners must create, store and archive all material drawings for the products they create. After 40 years, the records of Level 1 Fasteners had grown unruly. With a room full of filing cabinets and a numbering system to find files, it had become burdensome and time consuming to pull a single file. "When we wanted to retrieve a drawing, we would have to go pull a folder with a particular sequence of numbers, and search through that entire folder until we found the drawing that we needed," explains Susan Adkins, a sales representative, Level 1 Fasteners. That is when Level 1 Fasteners began looking for a solution to help organize and track their records in a more efficient and effective way.
With Questys Solutions Document Management System, Level 1 Fasteners has a means of document archival with quick search and retrieval access to any record they need, meeting federal record keeping regulations. Level 1 Fasteners uses scanners to import drawings directly into their Questys database, filing them away quickly and in the appropriate location, avoiding misfiling and time consuming retrieval. "All we have to do now is search a drawing number and it automatically comes up. We can either view it on the screen, or print out a copy," states Adkins. By storing documents electronically, files are retrieved instantly upon request. This not only increases employee productivity by freeing up valuable time to focus on other projects, but it also reduces physical storage requirements, and saves money that was previously spent on file cabinets, folders and copier paper.
