Rugby-based construction and civil engineering firm Stepnell has
reduced its carbon footprint by switching to a new 'paperlite'
document management solution.
All the company's documents are now stored electronically rather
than through a paper-based system - a move that is set to save the
company 1,200 person-days a year by removing the need to print,
file and retrieve paperwork manually.
"Introducing the Causeway system is a key part of our drive to
shrink our carbon footprint by cutting paper use to a minimum,"
says Stepnell managing director Mark Wakeford. Stepnell's head
office is in Lawford Road, Rugby.
"Other benefits of the new document management system include a
powerful search facility enabling documents and drawings to be
located and retrieved more quickly. There will also be significant
savings in costs associated with printing, postage, waste and
storage. Another important advantage is that our clients are able
to access the new system. This means that documentation relating to
particular schemes can be instantly shared, making it easier to
implement collaborative working on projects."
